OCD is like a difficult chess game and one of OCD’s best moves is Meta OCD. When our kids struggle with Meta OCD their intrusive thoughts are about OCD itself. There are many ways OCD can make them dizzy with thoughts about OCD.
OCD isn’t always about fears, sometimes it is about feelings. A feeling of incompleteness is common in OCD. One way OCD shows up is in the feeling you didn’t “catch it all.” You might have a feeling of incompleteness or it might trigger other themes like, “am I lying if I said I read this?” Or “will something bad happen if I don’t reread or rewatch this?” This can cause people with OCD to read and reread lines, paragraphs or chapters. It can make people rewind and rewatch videos over and over again. It can make you ask people to repeat themselves or explain themselves over and over again.
