Maybe co-occurence?

OCD seems to be characterized as having anxiety of fear about the obsession, which isn't something I experienced at all. I don't know much about the disorder though so would be worth doing some more research and introspection



There’s definitely a root anxiety at play, talk to your therapist.


For me personally, I feels more like an addiction to the dopamine I get from solving problems / deep thinking / being in a flow state.


And so your anxiety is NOT having that rush so you compulsively fixate on gaining it. Do you see? Still, talk to your therapist.
