Can you obssess about recovery?
About anxiety and ocd recovery? I swear if I hear yes that means we really can obssess over ANYTHING 😂

Very interesting thread. I notice that almost anything, even the positive stuff can be tinged with OCD & GAD . For example working on recovery, sports , music, movies , personal interests. I think often things can get taken too far where obsessive and compulsive feelings can partially ruin even the greatest of things . Having healthy balance of anything is important.
Exactly 💯
Yes!
And yes!🤪
Omg 😂 this is insanity! OK I had a feeling bc I've been obsessively reading about it, listening to podcasts, reading books etc 🤦♀️
This is definitely true that we can obsess over anything regardless of what theme or topic it is I was obsessing over a superstitious belief and my mind was constantly giving me what if's which at night proved to be wrong I am mean I know that was wrong but still my mind was not letting off that thought
It's nuts isn't it?!
@Anonymous Yup!
hey everyone. i’m not sure if this app will help me or not, but i feel the need to try anything because i can’t keep living like this. i struggle with obsessing over everything in my life. it feels like everyday my brain picks a new thing in my life to obsess over. for the past couple days ive been obsessing over my interpersonal relationships. for example; “do i like the people im with” “do i like my friends as more than just friends” “do i actually love these people or am i lying to everyone”. it’s been really messing with me and making me question my support system. i can’t stop stressing. i’m even afraid to talk about it with my therapist because i have those thoughts about her too. i’m new to my OCD diagnosis (got diagnosed last month) i was hospitalized for a week because i couldn’t function. i also obsess over my sexuality and nothing i pick for me ever feels quite right. i recently started a relationship with someone who’s trans, so maybe that’s why? does anyone else go through this? my brain tries to convince me that i do this to myself and that im making it all up. but who would want to feel this way? uggghhh
Please share your stories! I have really bad real event, false memory and POCD. I’m struggling a lot right now feeling undeserving, feeling like everything I’ve ever done in my life was meticulously calculated. Funny thing about OCD is even if I see someone do something way worse than me, it won’t phase me unless I’d done it. For example, something minor I did that really could mean nothing, my OCD convinces me it proves my ocd right. In light of the disordered times, I’d like to ask for someone to share their ocd recovery story, maybe some tips and how they did it. It’s feeling pretty impossible for me right now. Thank you!
My obsessions have subsided but now I feel off, like I should be thinking about something. Like I don’t have any of those bad thoughts right now and it feels so weird to not be stressed out. I’m very confused
