What OCD Feels Like

It’s asking “are you sure?”

Then needing to hear it one more time.

It’s living in the worst case scenarios while real life quietly passes you by. 

It’s feeling responsible for things that were never meant for you to control

It’s replaying conversations late at night sacrificing sleep, searching for the moment you got it wrong. 

It’s checking. Then checking that you checked. 

It’s apologizing for things you didn’t do.

It’s needing certainty in a world that can’t give it 

Its questioning your stories 

It’s questioning your intentions 

It’s questioning who you are
