Sometimes it’s good to hear people’s internal struggles. You may think it’s silly but that’s only because it’s not your eternal thoughts.
Be gentle
Be kind
Be a light.

This is also what OCD looks like. Nothing to do with cleaning

Im sick. I want soup.

Soup cup A has a weird torn wrapping? Nothing to do with the seal but my OCD intrusive thoughts say "that means something happened to it to degrade the quality and now it will give you food poisoning"

Soup cup B has nothing wrong but they were bought at the same time and the expiration date is earlier than the other. OCD intrusive thoughts say "thats because they never rotate product correctly at that store so thats been left on the shelf forever or is one someone returned or something and now you dont know whats happened to it and its going to make you sick".

These are the only options though. I want Soup. I know my thoughts are irrational so in attempt to fight them I make 1 cup. Half way through with the thoughts hounding me and obsessing over it i give in and make the other cup. I cant decide which to eat..I panic and just keep eating both, forcing myself because ya know, exposure therapy, but also stuck in indecision of which is safest.

I barely taste anything through my panic.

I wake up the next morning fine, and in fact, not sick, wondering why I couldn't let go of something so irrational.

This is OCD.
