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.

Can anyone relate?
Can anyone relate To being anxious to watch a movie or tv show out of fear of being triggered OR fear that your mind will latch onto to some weird idea you got from the movie and it will become a new obsession.. like for example… my hubby wanted to watch lord of the rings tonight. I’ve never seen it and for some reason I had the thought that I didn’t want to watch it bc what if it made me scared of creatures or some weird shit like that lol. Or like I’ll think about watching some Si fi show but then I have the thought “hmm better not in case it makes me believe in aliens or something”. I know how crazy this sounds but why do I think like this lol

Is it in my head
I have constantly been feeling like if I hit one arm, I have to hit the other and if I set something down and it just didn’t look right or feel right I had to do it again or I had to move it to a different spot in my room I’ve had never been a clean freak, which is mainly what I get told is OCD And I don’t know if I should even have this app. I don’t know if I actually have it. I’m constantly worried that I did something in my past that harmed others and that’s why people don’t like me or I’m constantly worried People are constantly watching me and I don’t know if that’s OCD or if I have it so please tell me I will delete this app and never think of it again if I don’t I just really wanna know

Food OCD
Hey guys! So I struggle with OCD, especially harm, relationship and moral stuff and I am somewhat recovered now. However, my current girlfriend has started showing signs of OCD but it’s abou5 something I don’t know much about so I wanted to see if anyone on here had thoughts about it. She is constantly thinking about food (when to eat it, what is healthy, what is too much, what is too little) and controls the thoughts by giving in and controlling her entire day around food. She don’t really know the feeling of being full. She never starved herself and always eats, but then she feels extremely guilty afterwards. Her thoughts do have to do a lot with her body image and not gaining weight but also not losing any either. Does this sound like ocd or an eating disorder?
