Well I mean the negative side of OCD causes anxiety....like I heard a lot of high level athletes have ocd, which causes them to drill and practice and think about their sport obsessively....so I think people with ocd may have tunnel vision a lot of the time, plus we’re lost in our heads so much of the time....I’m pretty much constantly obsessing about something, like a tv show or a project or a new hobby...the thing is obsessing about a tv show doesn’t cause me any distress so it’s not a negative thing

I Would say no! OCD always involve unwanted thoughts that make you feel scared and anxious. Im also a big harry Potter fan and at times, that was almost all I thought about! But it passes, so ENJOY this time you are "obsessing" about this amazing Story and try to get something out of it, like creating something or analyzing more the books and what they teach. I loved every thing about dementors and how you fight them... At times my anexiety was a dementor sucking my joy of life and I did my own patronum thinking about my most happiest powerful moments and that helped... Even I know this is not the correct way to fight OCD, this helps.

Does anyone else experience obsessions regarding a particular person? Where this person kind of takes up a lot of your time and you feel almost addicted to like looking at pictures of them or trying to be like them and stuff? It’s almost like theres a compulsion to find out things about them or see a picture of them or whatever. I usually find that these people are women who I admire (celebrities or people older/more accomplished than I am) and want to be like. I feel like a huge loser and a monster sometimes, and because these people are women it has greatly contributed to my HOCD.? Idk anyone could relate at all to this?

Why does my ocd keep coming back and latching onto to different subjects now it’s a game character, who I thought was cool and it had a love story in the game that was very controversial , but game characters never do this to me

i’m not sure if this is a part of ocd, something else, paranoia or something that most people go through .. but i have an issue with posters or action figures “staring” at me. i feel like they can hear me, see me, or know what i’m thinking. it was worse when i younger. i couldn’t even get changed in my own bedroom unless i took down my posters. that’s why i my room has been minimal in decorations since. i recently went against my own uncomfortable feelings & put up a figurine on my dresser. when i first did it, i thought, “what if i’ll never stop thinking about this every time i enter my room.” and felt an unhappy feeling wash over me. but i forced myself to let it be. it hasn’t been a problem. (i am talking abt it now / thinking abt it so i’m a little anxious again) i’m wondering if anyone goes through anything similar ? am i just nuts?
