It's been shown in studies that people with ocd and adhd tend to suffer from irritable bowel syndrome so yeah, absolutely.

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 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.

tell me why… idk if this is just me but i’m so scared i have ovarian cancer, kidney stone, kidney failure, UTI, hernia, or something wrong that’s making my lower stomach to my inner thigh and pelvic area. i have an uncomfortable feeling. it was hurting more last night then it is today… everytime i pee it doesn’t hurt but i somewhat still get the uncomfortable feeling down there and feeling in stomach. i’ve been googling and idk what to do because i’m scared of the doctors and i haven’t had a physical like in 2 years and i’m like scared if i go to a physicial i will have something wrong with me like i have cancer or something that i don’t know about. something tells me the pain tho in general is something gastrointestinal related but idk if could mean i have pain down “there”…. i took a tylenol last night it helped a little but then it still kinda occurred and i took a tum and it’s still the same i think it’s still occurring since i’m so hyper focused about it. idk i’m just like ugh my OCD was doing so well i just can’t tell what it is or if something is wrong i’m just scared :( i hate when having certain pains i freak out.

My ocd has been flaring up lately I’ve noticed some things that I don’t know if it’s ocd or something else whenever I seen someone like drugged or sick or just not “normal” I feel like or get scared that’s gonna end up being me? Does that make sense or then after a few minutes I feel like I’m them I don’t know exactly how to explain it I feel like I’m gonna start acting crazy or like I act weird or like them ? Idk exactly how to explain it and I have such a drop in my stomach thinking of it because it makes me feel insane, I haven’t had such an ocd episode so it’s getting hard again and making me feel insane specially because I don’t know how to explain this that I feel, I feel so scared rn can someone please comment on this?

Hi all, it’s been a while since I’ve posted on here but i have thankfully been getting better with my Health OCD and haven’t felt the need to come on here, however I’ve fallen back into the trap and can’t even function without panicking and worrying at the minute! I was very stressed a few weeks ago over life scenarios when I started seeing a lot of signs and symptoms of colon cancer in young people on social media, I didn’t think too much of it. However of course a few days later I start having the symptoms! Sore stomachs, constipation etc. I have been so worried, I went to my doctor and got constipation medication for a week which I took but since stopping I have the same symptoms and more and I am worried so much everyday I’ve been hyper aware of my bowel movements! I have even been trying to force myself to go when I feel like I don’t really need to which in turn has caused haemorrhoids and some blood, which has made me even more anxious!! (Note: my partner actually thinks I’m going to the bathroom a normal amount and am not even really constipated anymore but I’m convinced I am) I feel like I’m going crazy and no one seems to think my worries are rational - can OCD/ anxiety impact your bowel movements and stomach? I’ve never really had this and I’m petrified of it, I hope someone else has had this scenario before and has came out the other side (edited)
