You’re literally talking about trying to solve the illogical, the utterly insolvable. An imbalance that can take a sufferer to the depths of destructive rumination so very deep, dastard and fast-paced that there really is no word for it other than a sort of insanity of the mind. A vicious and vitriolic loop-cycle of said mind which will leave a sufferer of ocd utterly paralysed and, all awhile, also having to spend all of that time trying to fix the imbalance by finding answers to aforementioned illogical fears. Example: theme: I will end up homeless if I do not figure a way for this particular thing not to happen. It can of course happen, but to spend all that time frozen with atrocious and inexplicable levels of ruminating fear, ironically this actually leaves the sufferer with much more of a chance of the feared theme actually happening. How ironic indeed. How utterly unfair and exaggerated for its whole wide worrisome worth. You get lost, deeper and deeper… deeper still, until you are basically bed-ridden and STILL ruminating. Or a walking, talking mind on fire. And STILL trying to figure out an answer owing to said imbalance. It is complex. I especially think so because of where the actual imbalance might just exist in any given sufferer’s brain and this matter proves the main problem for them. You’re literally tasked with a mind which just will not play ball, cannot actually interpret things properly, so as to even make the easiest day-to-day decisions
