Is it weird that my ocd has latched onto this?

Me and this girls relationship ended and since I have become sentimental about the store brand where we used to work, where I initially asked her out and essentially where our relationship started. Like it should just be a regular Walgreens bag but for me it seems to carry a deeper meaning. I also get emotional when I see the commercials

Man, I get it dude. Breakups always mess with your head, and it sounds like that place holds a lot of memories for you guys. OCD can definitely latch onto sentimental stuff like that and make it 10 times harder to move on.

I think it's normal to feel some kinda way when you're reminded of your ex, especially at a spot that was so important in your history together. But you also don't wanna let it consume you, you know?

Maybe try distracting yourself when those feelings start coming up. Call up some bros for a pickup game, or start a new video game you can get lost in. Remind yourself of why it didn't work out in the end.

And over time, hopefully that store won't hurt as much to think about. Breaking up sucks ass, but staying stuck ain't the move either. You'll find another badass girl who gives you new special spots to make dope memories at.

Just take it easy on yourself for now. Feel what you feel, but don't dwell, yeah? You got this dude - you'll bounce back for sure.

within ocd that is appropriate.
