    Now imagine someone struggling through it. They know that it is all bullshit, and yet feel compelled to do it. OCD is hard…

      I remember seeing it’s called “The doubting disease” due to the constant uncertainty. I have anxiety sometimes but OCD is clearly on a whole other level of suffering.

    Helps realizing that it’s not that she deserves better but your brain makes up that excuse so it’s easier to dump her having an excuse you can believe in… Well, it helps getting over the impulse, it doesn’t actually help the situation, I don’t think.

        Copium may be a meme, but it’s an actual defense mechanism, we convince ourselves of reasons to soften the blow
