If you have OCD, you may struggle with an inflated sense of responsibility, meaning you feel a disproportionate amount of obligation to prevent harm to others. You may feel overly responsible for things that are not your fault. How does this show up in your life?

It's so funny how I hear someone else's OCD subtype and I'm like, that would be such an easier theme - and then they hear about my subtype and they say, wow I would so much rather have THAT subtype. OCD latches onto what *we* value. So of course we find our theme the hardest.

You don’t always have control over the thoughts/obsessions that your brain sends you, but what you do have control over is how you choose to react/respond. Think about this next time before you do a compulsion or ritual. It makes a big difference in recovery and really can help!

I’ve also called this trait “overactive empathy” because it’s a fixation on the experience of others! It can feel like fully absorbing the emotions of those around us, getting overwhelmed with disturbing information, or trying to prevent bad things from happening to others!
