everything takes me so much time and energy!!
does anyone else with OCD really struggle with this? my OCD presents a lot around doing things “perfectly.” specifically, I get the feeling that I’m accidentally going to forget something important about what I’m doing/insert something offensive or untoward into what I’m doing/go about the task completely incorrectly. as a consequence, I have lots of checking compulsions and reassurance seeking compulsions… and therefore a huge aversion to completing things in a timely manner (if it’s out of my hands, I can’t check and edit it for the millionth time or ask five more people clarifying questions, lol!)
I’m just coming on here to see if I can get some support for this struggle. as a student, I feel a little isolated from my peers because of the time and stress that every little assignment or thing takes. I’ve gotten some subtle judgment and frustration from peers about it recently and this impacts my life so seriously that I’ve been really down about it.
if you’ve read this far, thank you for reading :) I would appreciate any advice or support anyone has on this matter.
