While OCD is a pain in the ass in many ways, I don’t think I can overstate that the most annoying part of it is the fact that it can trick a person into believing the same horrible thing will happen (or did happen, unbeknownst to us) no matter how many times that fear failed to materialize in the past. With OCD, all logic goes out the window when your Favorite Fear is in the spotlight. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve been wrong before—this time it’s different.
