Hello, If anyone's comfortable with it, could you answer me these questions? Have you had a bad or a good childhood? Did your environment treat you well? Since when have you had ocd? Personally I've been bullied throughout middle school and when i was even younger. My mom went through some difficult stuff when i was 11 and i witnessed first hand some really bad displays of aggression between her and dad. I don't know if that counts, but I've also been traumatized by a bedbug infestation that made me fear insects A LOT. I've had ocd ever since i was 10.

I had a great childhood, with no real trauma (other than my mom getting cancer, but she lived for nearly 25 years after that). Looking back, I had OCD my whole life...but it was so mild it was almost unnoticable. Then here I am, 38 years old...and it comes at me full force. I've been a mess ever since.

I had a good childhood. And I had OCD my whole life I think?? Compulsions mostly. It was mild. Now I'm 17 and I have intrusive thoughts mostly 😞

I had a good childhood for the most part, my dad was verbally abusive to me though which I think started my anxiety. I’ve always been so anxious and scared of everything because of my father. I’d say I definitely had OCD since I was a young girl but I just wasn’t really aware of it then. It has become worse over the years and now I really understand why I’ve always felt the way I did as a young kid. 😔

My childhood wasn’t good at all due to abuse but my grandparents and parents tried their best to make up for it. Sometimes making it worse with trying to spoil me and then realizing they were spoiling me, so walking stuff back and becoming strict randomly. But it what it is and I love where I am in my life now, so it’s no biggie. And whenever something pops up, I have a great therapist to help me through it 😁

Still going through my childhood. I've been fighting with my parents for as long as I can remember, same with my siblings. My older brother wants to move out ASAP and cut all contact off with them. But other than parental issues, I never really had any real trauma. Always succeeded in school, and always had a good friend group with me.
