I was thinking about what we were talking about in roll call about thought loops. I then noticed PC has an OCD screening, so I took it just to see how it came out. I got a 2, which isn't likely for OCD. Of course it's not for diagnosis, but I'm thinking thought loops maybe are something different.

My 2 questions that I answered were about intrusive thoughts and the fear of acting on them. Just so you know.

I didn't find anything else on there that really fits. I would say a good definition of a thought loop is: a distressing event which triggers continued obsessive thoughts on that event and results in series of either intrusive thoughts, and/or a cumplsive/impulsive actions to resolve the triggering event. Once a resolution is reached, the the thoughts subside.

So if it is a form of it, it's not one on the OCD screening test here.
