Having an anxiety attack and a panic attack is different in how the body responds, but I never thought about how would an OCD take over would be described. A hijack of the mind? A state of dissociation with a mix of automatic functional capability? “High functioning” depression state? I really don’t know the correct term, and just now I don’t care for it, I just would like my brain to let me be on the driving seat again, instead of navigating through all that I’m obsessively compulsively thinking about.
- I don’t want to get out of my home
- I don’t want to treat the people that treat me unfairly with modesty and respect
- I don’t feel comfortable nor safe in my own skin
- I can’t organize my clothes if I don’t have the proper furniture for it
- I won’t be able to choose the right clothes because I don’t have knowledge about what best fits me
- I don’t want to deal with messages or any form of communication
- I don’t want to be responsible for people understanding me or what I need, it’s frustrating.
