What Does OCD Really Look Like?

Unwanted, disturbing thoughts pop up out of nowhere. 👉 "What if I hurt someone I love?" 👉 "Did I leave the stove on?"

Mental or physical rituals follow to reduce anxiety: ✅ Repeating phrases ✅ Checking 20 times ✅ Silent prayers ✅ Tapping objects

OCD isn’t a personality quirk. It’s an exhausting, often invisible cycle of anxiety and temporary relief.

Many people with OCD suffer silently. They might seem fine, but their mind is battling nonstop.
