Country music star Luke Combs has opened up about his battle with Pure Obsessional OCD, a severe form of obsessive-compulsive disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that can lead to anxiety and distress. Unlike typical OCD with visible compulsions, Pure O manifests as relentless, unwanted thoughts that can veer into violent territory. Combs describes how these thoughts can consume him, leading to a cycle of stress and further obsessive thinking. His openness sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of OCD, illustrating its significant impact on mental health.
When it hits, man, it can be all consuming. If you have a flare-up ... you could think about it 45 seconds of every minute for weeks.
They cause you stress, and then you're stressed out, and then the stress causes you to have more of the thoughts.
I'll be worried that I'm about to have a heart attack or a stroke, and it becomes this very obsessive thing that you can never have an answer to.
