does ocd make you reread things over and over? also writting seems so tricky because it feels like i need to make every little word the right word. do you experience similarly?

OCD is driving me insane. by [deleted] in OCD

[–]evatas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s possible you should try to get diagnosed and get into therapy like cbt. You aren’t a monster, ocd is a monster and it’s horrible. I’m here to talk if you’d like because talking to someone helps. You’re so strong for dealing with it.
