I’m like this and recently found out I have OCD, I’ve also personally had the worst things and best things in my life happen side by side twice now so I understand what she’s saying entirely.

Came here to say hiiii I have OCD and this is very much an OCD compulsion.

It’s wild to find out I’m not just a catastrophising worrier and I am in fact mentally ill, oddly comforting actually.

I have OCD. When I was little, I didn’t know what it was, so always just assumed I was weird/broken somehow. Then someone explained OCD to me, and it all just kind of clicked. It was so comforting knowing that I had a documented thing that lots of other people deal with, and I didn’t have to hide it or be embarrassed about it. My symptoms got much more manageable after that, to the point where it wasn’t nearly as debilitating as it had been.
