I've experienced somatic or sentimotor OCD, but I'm not sure if this falls in line with that. But it's similar. Essentially, I just obsessively feel aware of thinking. If that makes any sense. For example, I might want to try to watch a movie I like. But instead of focusing on it, I'll think about how I'm feeling and if I'm enjoying it. I'll think about a negative thing an actor did. I'll check to see what level of enjoyment I'm getting out of it. That's just one example. It can also happen if I'm hanging out with my friends or going to a concert, but it's usually not as pervasive because those activities aren't as passive. Nevertheless, it still persists in those instances. I can't seem to do anything without checking to see how I feel, or letting negative associations take over the enjoyment of the activity. It's hard to articulate, but I tried my best. Has anyone else experienced this?
Edit: A good way to describe it would be that it's like somatic/sensorimotor OCD, but I'm aware of thinking instead of bodily functions.
