OCD and Learning Tarot

Idk if I have ODC, but I do this thing that after I hang out with my friends, or do something new, ect my brain will literally break down my whole day, everything I said, read into what other people say to me… it’s very tiresome and it causes me so much anxiety. I’ve gotten to a place where I don’t do it as much, because I catch myself before I start doing it. I think it’s a compulsion though…

Anyways. I was working at a very draining job and I would compulsively do readings about it because I was constantly reliving my day over and over and over again at night. It didn’t help that the environment WAS toxic, but I felt the need to know everything that was going on. So, yeah, I would do hour long readings every few days, worry about the outcome of everything, learn things about my bosses that I probably just shouldn’t of known…

Moral of the story: I learned too much and eventually I had to quit because not only was the environment getting more toxic, so was my need to understand every psychic thing going on in there.

Since then, I’ve learned my lesson to NEVER do readings about: things I don’t actually really want to know, how other ppl view me (sometimes there’s exceptions to the rule), never do a reading twice!!! unless they are generic readings (so if tonight I do a reading ab if I should become friends w someone or not, I won’t do it twice unless something in the situation changes), NO “when am I going to die?” READINGS!, and the high priestess has taught me a very important lesson: the truth will always come to light. So there’s no point in getting emotional about what so-and-so is doing without me knowing… if it’s actually happening, I’ll be emotional about it when the truth is crystal clear, when I find out.

I know my compulsions are very relationship based… but I hope this helped in some way!
