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

@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.

Is this OCD?
I’ve been struggling badly lately. It started with a flare-up of stomach issues that made me go down the rabbit hole. I convinced myself that there was something seriously physically wrong with me even though I’ve been to the doctors numerous times and nothing has ever been found. It made me panic daily for weeks on end. All I could focus on was my stomach and the pain. Now my focus has switched and I’m just as afraid. I can’t really put my finger on it but I just feel like there's something wrong with me. I don't know if it's physical or mental. I almost feel like I’ve broken my brain beyond repair from the constant fear, anxiety, and panic. I just feel trapped in my head all of the time and it freaks me out. The harder I try to escape it the worse it feels. I’ve started to become so aware of my every thought to the point that I can hardly sleep at night. Everything around me just feels so strange. I feel strange. Now I’m just constantly monitoring how I feel and if I’m back to normal. At the same time I’ve been having a lot of existential thoughts like “what’s my purpose,” “what’s the meaning of life,” “do I actually enjoy anything,” “am I happy or will I ever be happy?” I feel like I can’t enjoy anything because I’m always thinking about these things. I’m the most depressed I’ve ever been before. Every second of every day feels like pure torture. My brain tells me that I’ll never get better and that no one will be able to help me. I have no hope.
