The bully inside my head
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition in which one experiences powerful intrusive thoughts that induce feelings of discomfort, anxiety, and urges to do something to get rid of the thoughts and sensations. Me most days when shit hits the fan 🤔 Not my best look These urges then become actions that are done repetitively until the person gets rid of the uncomfortable feeling that they have. These actions are called compulsions. They can come in the form of performing a behavioural action repetitively or in the form of mental acts. These compulsions are what fuels the obsession with the thoughts that one experiences. The obs e ssive thoughts then create the need to perform the compulsion that one must do to alleviate the anxiety and discomfort that comes with the thoughts; this, in turn, creates a vicious cycle. Some OCD sufferers tend to feel a lot of guilt and embarrassment due to their inability to function as normal people would. Bad days never last 💚 Most
