Tired and sad

I think my OCD symptoms have greatly increased recently.. My compulsive actions like repeating words when unpleasant thoughts cross my mind... Also my re-checking of things is allover the place... today when I left the cafe, I checked that all my stuff were inside the bag hundreds of times, and I had to stop in the middle of the road to recheck again... Today I feel tired and sad... I shouldn't feel as such before a long weekend, but it is how I feel.. I am just consumed.

You are indeed tired. When you check again, is it because you find it hard to register things, like you can't really focus on things? like you're not really here, you're drifting away?

@EarthlingWise I did not think about it this way and only thought that I am just being extra paranoid.. but yes I have a big trouble with focus recently, and there is a good chance that when I check I do it out of habit and not that I am actually focused on what I am doing, so I just forget again and again if something was inside the bag... just like many other things that I forget .. i feel my brain is exhausted and needs massaging 💆‍♀️ 😴

@BittersweetPotato It's not so much OCD as fatigue and extra-care because you feel you can't afford to make mistakes.

@EarthlingWise very true on not affording to make mistakes!
