August 31st, 2025 - OCD

I want to write as an exercise. I want to try describing what it feels like. I try not to talk about my OCD in any way other than jokes but sometimes my actions and my thoughts just don't make sense for others that aren't aware of how it feels and how it affects me. Sometimes I feel punished by others for my symptoms. It's tricky because if I try to explain it, it'll just sound like I'm making a huge deal out of nothings or it will sound like I'm insane. How can you make people understand such a crushing feeling of constant guilt.
