OCD won’t let me enjoy this book, need some help

Postby ThisGuy104 » Thu Apr 29, 2021 2:45 pm

So I have a very irritating form of OCD that I’ve mentioned in a previous post, that post didn’t get any replies so I’m hoping this one might be different as I need quite a bit of help with it

You see my OCD is weird, let’s say I’m enjoying this book since I love reading, I’ve been reading it for awhile but something really bad happens like I have a mental breakdown one day or an anxiety spike caused by a compulsion and all this happened while I was reading the book, I won’t be able to finish the book because it doesn’t feel perfect, like I’m not the perfect me who was reading the book before, what usually I usually do when this happens is drop the series or book or start it from scratch because my OCD kills the immersion and the build up it’s very hard to explain I just feel anxiety and trouble reading it while knowing that I was in a better place when I started the book and my OCD tells me to start it all again. I’m reading Tokyo Ghoul now and for this reason I’m struggling to enjoy it, what can I do?
