Anxiety and OCD

Your mind is racing 10,000 mph.

You’ve become used to it as your mind hijacks you and jumps from one thought to the next.

Fifteen different tabs open on your web browser. Doom scrolling Reddit.

Gruesome images flash through your mind quickly, and you catch yourself shuddering.

Relax. Calm down.

People have been telling you this for as long as you can remember. Honestly, it really irritates you.

Even your body reacts to anxiety.

Pains, intense fear, obsessive thoughts and behaviors, amplified irritation, panic attacks – all these can be the result of anxiety.

You can feel like a victim – stuck living life in suffering. Hostile reactions toward yourself and others become the norm.

You don’t want to react this way, but what can you do? All you know is to keep all your thoughts to yourself.

Sleep isn’t a refuge either.

You lay there staring at the ceiling, reviewing your plan for tomorrow, or quietly berating yourself for past embarrassing moments.

While others have called you diligent, what’s really going on is you’re prepping for your survival.

Checking doorknobs constantly. Judging yourself for having ‘bad thoughts.’ You’re totally convinced that something bad will happen to you if you… (fill in the blank).

Being careful is a virtue, right? But you realize you totally take it too far…

Your OCD is totally getting in the way of living.

Anxiety and OCD are often the surface level presentation of deeper conflicts.

Just what would life be like if you weren’t plagued by your obsessions and worry?

It takes massive courage and commitment to change ingrained habits and lean into the fear.
