Most people overshare because their nervous system feels unsafe.

Before you respond, pause for 3 seconds and ask yourself:

1️⃣ Do I actually want to say this?
2️⃣ Is this the right person to share it with?
3️⃣ Will I feel okay after saying it?

That tiny pause creates just enough space for your brain to choose clarity over anxiety-driven explaining.

Regulation isn’t always big — sometimes it’s just a 3-second breath.

Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition that can cause distressing, repetitive thoughts and behaviors, affecting daily life.

🔄 How the cycle works

1️⃣ Intrusive thought /obsession.
An unwanted thought pops in: “Did I lock the door?” or “What if I left the gas on and there’s a fire?”

2️⃣ Anxiety & distress
The thought feels threatening, triggering fear, guilt, or worry: “Something bad could happen if I don’t check!”

3️⃣ Compulsion/ritual
To feel safe, the person checks repeatedly—opening and closing the door or turning the gas k**b multiple times.

4️⃣ Temporary relief
Checking provides a short-lived sense of calm.
But the brain learns: “I feel safe because I checked,” so the next intrusive thought triggers the cycle again.

Breaking the cycle

ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention) helps you face the fear without performing the ritual, allowing anxiety to naturally decrease.

As a clinical psychologist, I often see people casually say “I’m so OCD” when they like things neat. But OCD is not about tidiness — it’s a mental health condition marked by intrusive, distressing thoughts and compulsive behaviors done to relieve anxiety.

Liking cleanliness = a preference.
Living with OCD = an exhausting cycle that disrupts daily life.

Let’s use the term responsibly, reduce stigma, and build awareness.

Some days, no matter how hard you try, the mind feels cloudy.
As a clinical psychologist (and as a person), I’ve noticed this mental fog is more common than we realise.

It often shows up when we’re running on:
Too little sleep
Skipped or unbalanced meals
Constant information overload
Long hours of inactivity
Chronic stress

What I suggest to clients (and practice myself):
1. Say it out loud – verbalise that’s your mind feels foggy.
2. Ground yourself – notice what you see, hear, touch.
3. Write or visualise – put thoughts on paper , doing that helps with organising it.
4. Tiny steps – break tasks into micro-chunks.
5. Self-compassion – remind yourself: it’s okay if your mind feels foggy , you can take a break.

37 tabs open,but the screen’s blank.

That’s brain fog.

When brain fog hits, which one is you?

1️⃣ Forgetting why you walked into the room
2️⃣ Re-reading the same sentence 10 times
3️⃣ Words disappearing mid-conversation
4️⃣ Feeling like you’re on autopilot

Drop your number in the comments — let’s see which one is the most common.

A) I feel guilty when I rest
B) I say yes even when I’m drained

What may look as indecisiveness , maybe , your brain & body trying to protect you. When you freeze in the face of a decision or overwhelming situation, the key is gentle nervous system regulation— not forcing yourself to “just do it.”

A secure attachment style is characterized by a healthy and balanced approach to relationships, marked by confidence, stability, and positive interactions. It is generally the result of consistent and responsive caregiving during childhood, which fosters a sense of safety and trust.
