Thought it would be interesting to do this with ocd too.

It feels like an alien in my brain telling me all the worst things that I could ever hear, and then it tells me that if I listen and do whatever rituals it says to do, things will turn out okay, but the more I listen, the more I seem to lose control of my safety rituals until it seems like I don't know what I want or who I am or how to keep my mind from freaking out all the time about everything.

I'm diagnosed with it and honestly the shortest way to describe it is: Haunted. I feel like I'm haunted in everything I do there's some condition that must be met. My thoughts are not mine, they're alien to me and scare me.
