Hello, I have been suffering from OCD for awhile and been in treatment for about 2 years. I have a difficult time determining between what is rational vs. irrational. Often times I do things because they "feel right." I just can't help it. I am constantly thinking of some automatic negative thought and I am the person to blame for everything. It's horrible. I am my own worst judge. Things HAVE to be perfect, even though that doesn't exist. I logically understand my symptoms, but there is a huge emotional disconnect. I get depressed about being obsessive, and then I get even more depressed about being depressed. I am in this horrid cycle that doesn't seem to have an end. I am hoping to communicate with others who I can relate to and get some support through this site! I look forward to chatting with everyone.

It's a vicious circle , that some have succeeded to break. Depression / ocd / life in general . Even thought process maps are written in circles. Good luck it can be broken !

It's a frustrating cycle and it's even harder to explain to someone who hasn't had the same thought process. Have you found that you have specific triggers that start the cycle off?
