What Is OCD?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is composed of two parts: Obsessions and Compulsions.
The OCD Cycle
The OCD cycle consists of 4 parts: obsessions, anxiety, compulsions, and temporary relief.
Obsessions are unwanted distressing thoughts, worries, urges, fears, intrusions, images, and doubts. Obsessions can sound like, “what if,” “do it,” “you know you want to,” “you’re going to,” “I am,” “It’s only a matter of time before you." Obsessions are extremely scary and feel incredibly real. OCD sufferers do anything in their power to eliminate these obsessions. Due to the unpleasant nature of all obsessions, OCD sufferers immediately experience an anxiety response because of how unsettling they are. Experiencing distress, fear, worry, disgust, shame, guilt, etc., during this phase of the OCD cycle is common.
