I Have Ocd

I didn't know it wasn't just washing hands and counting. But anyway, I've been experiencing it for years (just kind of putting the obsessions/compulsions down to anxiety because I'm not doing what we always see on TV with people with OCD) and I'm about to start going through the process of being formally diagnosed. The intrusive thoughts are horrendous, I imagine my daughter dead every day, multiple times a day and feel it every time. I'd like to not have to think that anymore for one.

In the words of Larry ... git 'er done.

Recognizing an issue is usually the biggest obstacle in overcoming. Maybe you're farther than you think? Here's to it all going well for you.

@hlpflwthat I have just started CBT for what I thought was PTSD but then clearly wasn't 🤷 also the "exploring my thoughts" didn't work very well! Thank you!
