Have you ever felt an overwhelming urge to do something, even when it didn’t make sense? Maybe it was checking that the door was locked for the tenth time or washing your hands until they were raw, or even asking reassurance-seeking questions to loved ones or ChatGPT. If this sounds familiar, you might be dealing with compulsions, a key part of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It can feel isolating and confusing, but you are not alone, and there is hope for peace.
