Hey Kristi! Firstly I think we can all be on the spectrum of having an obsessive mind, it’s only when it tips into OCD that is becomes nasty.
The episodes are painful and exhausting for me but I’m hoping through therapy to get to the point when I can accept, ignore and distance myself from them. It’s all possible with patience and practice.
This is fascinating to me. I always joke about having OCD simply because I like to line up my book edges precisely to the coffee table edges lol. But when I read stuff like this, do I REALLY have OCD though? Not likely.
Let me ask you, does it bother you? Like, do you feel aggravated when going through these episodes? Or does it just feel like your version or normal?
