Feeling Stuck? It Might Be OCD
Do you ever feel like you get stuck? Maybe this feels like getting stuck in a thought, or replaying a scenario (real or imaginary) in your mind over and over again. Maybe you get stuck until something feels just right and you can’t move on until it does. Perhaps you feel stuck because you have set limits and boundaries with yourself in an effort to keep yourself safe from imagined danger, like you can’t walk up or down the stairs with your baby because you’re afraid of the baby getting hurt. You might feel stuck in rules, like needing to wait three seconds after the light turns green before you can safely drive across the intersection. This “stuckness” might be highlighting some OCD-tendencies in your life and could be good information for treatment.
