«سكّرت الباب؟ طفيت الغاز؟ » 
According to DSM-5, OCD involves obsessions and compulsions that are time-consuming or cause distress. 🔃Checking rituals give short relief but keep the cycle going.
📖Treatable with CBT (ERP) and/or medication (APA, 2013).

‎هالاختبار السريع بيفرجيك كيف دماغك عم يشتغل هلّق!

➡️If you estimate the time too early, it often means your brain is in a state of anxiety or hyper-arousal.

إذا حسّيت الوقت أبكر من الحقيقة، هيدا ممكن يدلّ إنّو دماغك بحالة توتر أو قلق.

➡️If you estimate it too late, it can mean your brain is in a state of fatigue, low alertness, or slowed processing.

إذا حسّيت الوقت أبطأ من الحقيقة، هيدا ممكن يدلّ إنّو دماغك بحالة تعب أو بطء بالتركيز.

Your internal sense of time is shaped by stress, tiredness, sleep, and neurological activity in areas like the cerebellum, basal ganglia, and prefrontal cortex. By trying it both with and without counting, you’ll notice how much your brain relies on external cues versus internal timing (Coull, Cheng, & Meck, 2011).
