Can we talk about compulsive writing?

[Cub]

Hi y'all

Really tired and not sure I'm making a lot of sense to this, so I'll cut right to the chase.

I've realised that one of my big problems with OCD is compulsive writing; I was discussing this with someone the other day and I realised that was what I was doing a for a long time. When I'm at home, all I want to do is write. It doesn't matter if it's not something I'll publish, I just like to feel busy and get my brain working. I know if it's something I enjoy then that's okay but I was caught up for a while back there with attempting to prove a point to myself and got quite mad in my writing; I was determined to write the perfect piece. Now, I keep editing and reediting and wondering where my true voice even is. If I need to step away from some stuff to feel sane again because for a long time, I felt like I was going crazy.

Any thoughts?
