Hey y’all! 👋 As a 25-year-old startup founder in the AI world, I’ve been grinding away on various apps since 2019, and one of them has even hit the 2M+ user mark (humble brag 🙌). But here’s the kicker – I’ve been battling OCD thoughts that just won’t quit, despite being on meds and trying therapy.
I feel like I’m stuck in a cycle of discussing my problems, digging deeper, blaming my parents, and doing CBT exercises – only to end up right back where I started. It’s like a never-ending loop of anxiety-inducing thoughts about competitors outperforming us, stagnant growth, and feeling like a total loser compared to other young success stories on social media.
So, fellow founders with OCD, how do you manage being overrun by these relentless thoughts? Any success stories or tips you can share would be a lifesaver right now – I could use all the advice I can get! Let’s chat and support each other through the madness. 💬 #CommunitySupport #TogetherWeCanDoIt
