ocd for me isnt about acting on my intrusive thoughts in a visible way for me its mainly in my head its like being stuck in a circle where you run and run and run and run and you cant get out every time you get that thought youre right back in the circle you lose grip of reality youre stuck in your own head and its so hard to get out of that circle of thoughts and intrusive thoughts and impulses to neutralize the thought by thinking something else its terrible time consuming you feel so alone with your own thoughts and they just wont shut up but somehow they keep slapping you in the face no matter what   or when youre having a good day and bam one thought related to your compulsionobsession and youre stuck    gotta love it
