The trap of OCD

Assessment and Therapy for OCD

Locked in The Maze

It starts with a thought—unwanted, intrusive, and impossible to ignore.

Maybe it’s the fear that you left the stove on, and no matter how many times you check, you can’t shake the dread.

Or it’s the idea that your hands are contaminated, driving you to wash them over and over until your skin is raw.

Perhaps it’s a disturbing, irrational thought that you’d never act on but can’t seem to forget, leaving you questioning yourself and your intentions.

To ease the overwhelming anxiety, you perform a ritual: locking and unlocking the door multiple times, organizing objects until they feel “just right,” or repeating phrases silently in your head to ward off imagined danger.

You feel a momentary flicker of relief, but it’s fleeting. The thought comes roaring back, dragging you deeper into the cycle, demanding more time, more energy, and more rituals to quiet it again.

This is Life with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Everyday tasks become overwhelming. Simple errands, conversations, or moments of rest are interrupted by intrusive worries and compulsions.

You spend hours trying to find certainty where there is none, apologizing for behaviors you can’t explain, or avoiding situations that might trigger the thoughts.

Life feels smaller, narrower, and lonelier as the endless loop of OCD takes hold.

But It Can Get Better

It doesn’t have to stay this way.

There’s a way forward—a clear path to breaking free from the cycle and regaining control over your time, energy, and peace of mind. With the right support, you can rebuild your life beyond OCD and find relief that lasts.
