Can OCD manifest in physical sensations around the body? it’s making me feel bothered this morning , it’s like my stomach is burning but I don’t know if it’s something OCD is producing or some other stuff like diarrhea

Wow , I just googled and I found out about this now , is this something that OCD causes ? sometimes I get it mistaken with butterflies in the stomach although I know it’s a very different feeling

That would explain so much about what I go through!

@Bookworm91 It’s just a weird feeling on my stomach and it follows my whole day

@2022Recovery I don’t get it the whole day but I was talking about people with ocd and adhd tending to have IBS. That makes sense and never thought to consider that myself. It would explain my digestive issues

@2022Recovery I posted something about 30 minutes ago. And 10 minutes ago actually. And it’s been really distressing me. And I’ve been kind of stuck in bed because of it. Not that that is too much of a chore because I love my bed lol specially when it’s cold outside and I’m warm but now it’s becoming something negative because OCD likes to ruin everything. If you could find those two posts preferably the one that I posted 30 minutes ago is there anyway you could take a look and give your opinion? I’m making myself get up now but I’d really appreciate some input if you have a chance. Although I understand if you can’t because for whatever reason my post a really hard to fine and I don’t know why

@2022Recovery It's the anxiety that comes with ocd that causes it rather than the mental illness itself. It happens to people with adhd too because they also tend to be anxious.

@LydiaK It’s nice to know , I though that I was having butterflies in stomach or something like that and that was making me distressed

@LydiaK And I wanted to ask , is it normal that they come when I’m having an intrusive thought as well ?

@2022Recovery Yup, since with the intrusive thought anxiety comes as well.
