Don't you just hate it when your OCD kicks and the obsessions and compulsions take over. You start panicing and you know what is going on but you can't seem to help yourself. I hate it!!!!!!!!!
I was doing fine today then WHAM!!!

I feel so stupid because it keeps me from what I want in life, yet it is full of false anxieties. I'm not in any danger, but I have to do my rituals and handwashing and all that. What a waste for a life to be held back by meaninglessness.

It isn't meaningless to the person suffering.
Yes, I do hate it when the compulsions and/or obsessions cause great anxiety & take over my life. It's hell. |

I know. I found myself going through the rituals last night trying to hide it from my husband. He knew, but he didn't say anything. I really am trying to stop but I start having a panic attack if I don't. Like you, I waste a lot of time on the rituals. I am even late for some things because of them. YUGH!!!

I mean that it's meaningless in that it doesn't really affect, change or help anything. Counting to a certain number isn't going to make the Phillies win the World Series, keep a car from crashing, or protect a child from tripping, and we know it, but still have to do the rituals, even though they have nothing to do with anything.

But to the person, it isn't meaningless, or they wouldn't do it. I'm just saying what can be meaningless to another isn't to another. It means SOMETHING, delusional or not, fake or not, it does mean something.

I know the person with OCD finds it meaningful, but I mean in reality, it's not meaningful at all.
