This is accurate. I have mild OCD where once I stutter on something I didn’t before, ill start obsessing with it and then I’ll start doing the compulsion of saying that word out loud (or sometimes in my head or mouthing it) to check I don’t stutter on it. Then, this whole cycle makes me fear saying the word. It causes me to be scared of saying the word and instills fear in me. Do you have any ideas how to overcome OCD habit? How do I not obsess with it? The compulsions become almost automatic. Before it’s an obsessive thought, I’ll try and say ‘it’s only a one off mistake forget it’ and that’s helps but once it becomes an obsessive thought, it’s hard to stop it. It really ruins my life. I want to let the thought go but it’s just there in my head, I just come back to it.
