Yes. Setting internal boundaries that people can’t disrupt who you know you are. Most likely it is someone triggering ocd which is scary and anger inducing so you need to feel protected from the trigger. Set a boundary such as I am not who my ocd or this person is saying I am. I will feel angry and upset but I will talk to my heart with comforting words that ocd is playing tricks. Also do physical things to make you feel safe. Weighted blanket, music, rain sounds, ice cubes, something soft, I understand anger issues because I used to break things and smash them and throw furniture but I read this book boundaries for your soul and it really helped, so I told u what I learned I hope it helps you too :)

I have anger issues too. What I realised is that when you try to fight it it gets worth. I learnt to use it for the ‚good‘. When you stop fighting against it and using it as something that drives you it can have a positive impact. For example I use it in sport I just let it out there. I use it in art. I express anger through writing something. And when it is an extremely bad episode where it’s extremely hard to control I either leave the house and just run till the anger is gone or I lock myself in a room and scream without letting my voice out till I feel better. My motto is however I let it out I will not harm anyone, anything or myself.

Okay so my parents don't really handle my ocd that well. For starters my contamination is getting worse (I'm 14) and keep exisivly washing my hands, or using toilet roll which is unfortunately really common. Now they are getting angry at me for using too much toilet roll... What do I do? There saying I'm ruining there lifes because of my ocd. I'm making there lifes miserable. And they don't COMMUNICATE or sit down with me and look me in the eyes and try sort it out WITH ME. they just go "STOP USING SO, MUCH TOILET ROLL" "you've broke another headset" "WE ARE ALLOWED TO BE PISSED AT YOU" and I'm getting self harm urges because there making me out to be such a bad person. Which obviously doesn't mix well with ocd.

About 2 months ago, I sliced my arm so deep in an attempt to make this all go away.. as there was blood spurting like everywhere my life flashed before my eyes and I could hear my parents laughing in the room beside me. I started screaming for help as my eyes flooded with tears. How could their little girl do that to herself?? I was able to get to the ER and have my arm stitched up.. making my attempt a fail. But I’m so scared. I don’t want to do something like that again. I’ve never seen my parents cry except for then. The fear in their eyes haunts me up to this day. But that’s the only thing that relieves my pain. Can someone help or relate to this ???

I think i have ocd. Two years ago i had a few panic attack and person related obsessions that i couldnt get over. Now since i’m free of college and work i have an intrusive thought about hitting myself. It is panicking and i don’t know what to do. I have already acted twice on the thoughts but now my mind says i have to hit harder… i know it sounds weird, but does anyone have any tips etc..? :)
