Anyone ever developed OCD of having other mental disorders?

Doesn’t help when Dr. Google then tells you “OCD and (insert another disorder here, not named anxiety/depression) can be co-morbid”

@J6 Would you know how exactly BPD and OCD coexist? To me OCD is overthinking and BPD is less thinking and more impulsive and yet I’ve read there’s overlap between the two.

@J6 Very interesting, I didn’t know about the non-impulsive side of BPD. Forgive me if I sound insensitive when I say what I’m about to say, but this past week someone had mentioned bipolar to me and I currently have harm related obsessions. So I did compulsions and found out that a lot more people who commit crimes can be bipolar, so sadly my thoughts connected the two together and made me think I’m even more capable of committing my intrusive harm thoughts if I also have bpd because I could lose control and do something awful, when I’ve never once wanted to hurt someone before (unless I was threatened). So that’s interesting though, maybe you’re right in the sense that people with BPD and OCD aren’t impulsive people personality wise, but maybe more so with just compulsions, but that doesn’t mean they’d be impulsive with their obsessions/fears.

@J6 Ah okay, forgive me also, I totally forgot about borderline personality disorder as well. I actually have not researched that at all (and at this point I don’t want to for my own sake lol). Now, when you say not knowing how to regulate emotions, how does that differ from someone just going through anxiety/depression & having a poor self image versus straight up borderline personality disorder? Because like, I’ve been told idk how to regulate my emotions, say, when I’ve been hurt in relationships with people or have just generally had my feelings hurt. However, I’ve never had BPD brought up around me. I’d be interested in hearing your take!

@J6 So, when I’ve been hurt like in relationships, I’ve wondered what is wrong with me and will ask them for a reason, rather than just accepting it as a bad match. It’s hard for me to express verbal intimacy to my family, but it’s more so because it was lacking from my parents growing up, so that’s why it’s hard for us to say it around each other. However, I’m comfortable with expressing it to others outside my immediate family. And in saying that, I don’t mind expressing my thoughts to my parents, despite what I said about the inability to show verbal intimacy. Despite that, I’m generally an open book to showing my hurt feelings to others and displaying what’s on my mind. The only time my feelings seem unregulated is when I’m hurt and I take it real personal, thinking that it’s always my fault and such. But I’ve realized that’s faulty thinking and I’m trying to now find a way to let go of that thinking. Besides when my feelings get hurt, I generally don’t think my emotions are unregulated.
