Imagine your mind as a computer, and what is essentially you is on the monitor in front of you. You can access your data/memories, programmes/functions and even go into sleep.
Now imagine thinking as browsing the internet. You open your web browser and start surfing, you have all the right security programmes to stop pop-ups and viruses that you may come across.
People with OCD do not have all these programmes. People with OCD get pop up after pop up, they fill the monitor and leave you unable to access anything else on your computer, the virus renders you useless, only able to perform the same few tasks, restarting yourself over and over again, all because you are missing the security programme people without OCD all have and take for granted.
That is what OCD is like.
