An Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) diagnosis and symptoms are often overlooked in therapy when thoughts and rituals are internal. The persistent intrusive thoughts, rituals, and the constant need to check and recheck can make you feel like you are competing in a "mental gymnastics routine" everyday. You're not alone in this struggle, and recognizing the signs is the first step towards regaining control. Here are some common indicators that OCD may be impacting your life:​

• Intrusive Thoughts: Unwanted, distressing thoughts that invade your mind against your will.

• Compulsive Rituals: Repetitive behaviors or mental acts performed to alleviate anxiety or prevent a dreaded event.

• Fear of Uncertainty: A strong need to have everything in order and a fear of the unknown or unpredictable.

• Time-Consuming Activities: Rituals (including mental rituals) that consume a significant amount of time, impacting daily life and activities.

• Difficulty Concentrating: Intrusive thoughts can make it challenging to focus on tasks or conversations.

• Feeling Trapped: The sense of being trapped in a cycle of repetitive thoughts and behaviors.
