Guest Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Lately I feel like I've been analysing everything I do think and feel. I go over everything and it's so tiring and frustrating. It's like I'm trying to peel back hidden layers of every thought. My mind almost feels like it's expecting a bad thought and when I recognise it a bad thought comes and then I can't get it unstuck. Everytime a new thought comes I can't let it go because I feel like I need to hold onto it, just in case it's something more. It's so frustrating and repetitive that I become a bit desensitised and that itself sends me into new waves of panic. Sometimes i feel like tearing my head open and taking everything out. It's just so difficult questioning your morality constantly. And yet I still don't feel I have OCD, I still feel anxious, I still don't think there's enough evidence, I want nothing more than to just be normal and not feel so guilty all the time but I can't. I'm stuck with this all the time. My brain has always analysed my thoughts but it's getting really bad again. I have therapy tomorrow and I hope there might be a way of helping. I'm just so self aware about everything I'm thinking that there's no peace. Link to comment
PolarBear Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Sounds like everyday OCD to me. You get intrusive thoughts and you ruminate over them endlessly. It's just OCD. Link to comment
Guest Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Ok. I'm not sure if rumination is a compulsion or not but I've tried to stop doing it as much. Thankyou for replying. Link to comment
PolarBear Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Rumination is probably the biggest compulsion done by OCD sufferers. It is extremely common and certainly is a compulsion. Link to comment
paradoxer Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Seconding Polar Bear - rumination is a major OCD component. Your 'And yet I still don't feel I have OCD, I still feel anxious' is paradoxical. Think about it - but not for too long. Link to comment
