Like you could get anxiety maybe going into big groups or worry about things that will happen in the future because you want certainty and you have no way to know if it will be ok? I think 😅

I think this is poor wording. I have had people say this as a means of saying OCD people are "control freaks" which is too easily conflate with abusers. For me it's about personal control and boundaries. I freak out when I feel like my personal space is violated. That's not about controlling others. I don't think contamination ocd is about control over one's own boundaries and personal space. Israel did a study that found a strong correlation between victims of childhood abuse and contamination phobias. The idea being if your boundaries were badly violated as a child so maintaining them as an adult can become an obsession. I definitely relate to that.

Urges/ intrusive thoughts
I have the thought of what if I lose control and do something out of my control like scream for no reason or yelling in a store or just blurting stuff out that’s not in my control and it causes so much anxiety and causes me to feel weird. I always think I’m on the edge of losing control of myself and it’s exhausting living like this. Any tips?

The Morning Anxiety
I always wake up full of dread and fear. My anxiety is through the roof two seconds after I open my eyes. Someone on this app gave me a similar insight once I believe. But I think anxiety is just the urge to ruminate. About what? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as I can torture myself, as OCD loves. Does anyone else relate to this or agree maybe?
