Finally realized the feeling of true OCD again.

While I wasn't exactly super-duper mentally healthy the past few days, I only had mild OCD and general anxiety, but both of which I felt I could ride out. But something happening caused me have the kind of OCD of the kind that is harder to ride out, the kind where I feel I have a concrete reason to be nervous and not just a vague feeling of anxiety.

Like, I thought that the vague sense of anxiety I felt was bad enough, but when classic OCD came back, it hit me like a brick.

Try keeping yourself busy. Get some fresh air. 

Break down tasks into manageable chunks. 

Have you done any cbt? Would be really helpful for you.

Have you tried exercise? Going for runs has helped me very much mentally. Also in this weather, the rain, is a lot of fun too! Maybe try it?
