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

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 π―
Yes!
And yes!π€ͺ
Omg π this is insanity! OK I had a feeling bc I've been obsessively reading about it, listening to podcasts, reading books etc π€¦ββοΈ
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!
I just realized that I have this compulsion where i search ocd forums up and down, looking for someone describing the exact scenario/event that im obsessing over right now. Otherwise itβs like i cant convince myself that it really is ocd. Its so stupid because even if I find what I am looking for, I know it is only giving me temporary relief. I was just about to post a description of the theme/scenario here, but I am proud that I stopped myself βοΈ
Hey guys! So I struggle with OCD, especially harm, relationship and moral stuff and I am somewhat recovered now. However, my current girlfriend has started showing signs of OCD but itβs abou5 something I donβt know much about so I wanted to see if anyone on here had thoughts about it. She is constantly thinking about food (when to eat it, what is healthy, what is too much, what is too little) and controls the thoughts by giving in and controlling her entire day around food. She donβt really know the feeling of being full. She never starved herself and always eats, but then she feels extremely guilty afterwards. Her thoughts do have to do a lot with her body image and not gaining weight but also not losing any either. Does this sound like ocd or an eating disorder?
New to this app. Do members find it helps, I'm worried I will start obsessing over things I hadn't thought about before when I read other people's OCD triggers...
