I went through am extremely rough period over 2021 with its peak in the summer. I'm taking meds and they've saved me from a very dark path. I still have ocd but I'm functional. Apart from the thoughts which I have learned to identify as ocd I get scared easily by sounds. I live in a big city and the sound of a motorcycle just hits me in the brain. Is it part of ocd's anxiety? Has anyone else gotten sensitive to sounds because of ocd? I remember when I was going through my rough period in the summer, I couldn't stand particular sounds which reminded me of my obsessional thoughts and made me cry. When I was younger I had a huge problem with sounds and couldn't sleep for countless nights because of them.
