Living with OCD can be exhausting, especially when the source of anxiety isn't always obvious. One of the most important steps toward healing is learning to recognize your OCD triggers—the thoughts, sensations, or situations that set off obsessive thinking and compulsive behaviors.
What Are OCD Triggers?
OCD triggers vary widely from person to person. Some people’s phobia is due to the fear of picking up bacteria or other things. The reason could also be a thought about morality or philosophy that doesn’t suit them. A more hidden version of OCD, called rumination OCD, is marked by getting stuck thinking repeatedly about situations where the outcome is unclear.
Replaying old talks in your mind, doubting yourself or regularly wanting to be told your decisions are right might be a sign you’re experiencing rumination OCD. These habits of thinking can greatly affect both your daily life and mood.
