How to know if it’s ACTUALLY OCD “what if I’m different???” (Not ASMR)

The key to knowing if you are experiencing OCD or not has nothing to do with the content of your fear, but rather the way you are responding to it! Is there compulsions you are doing to eliminate the uncertainty and fear you feel about an obsession? A couple of ways to know: 1. Are you repeating this thought process or action many times or do you feel the need to repeat it many times throughout day 2. Does this thought process (desire to figure things out) or action seem like it is urgent If these 2 things are true then you are doing compulsions to escape anxiety, and you have OCD! This means ERP WILL work for you, don’t get caught up on the specific theme.

To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).

To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
