Who said it was OK?

Quote:
I get anxious and scared when I can't do my compulsions, terrible thoughts, false memories, need for constant reassurance, multiple compulsions, hallucinations, delusions, dissociation, paranoia, disordered thinking, mood swings and more which I have since the age of seven.
That's the "function" of compulsions: to try to control anxiety. The need to control it can be powerful. Therapy is supposed to help you look into your anxieties so you don't have to spend so much time trying to control them.
