Please answer?
Is it normal that everything gets worse when something that cause you anxiety is coming. My school is starting on few days and my thoughts are so much worse.

Yep. Mine was worse today because I was going to go on a plane and I’m a nervous flyer. Your not alone. It definitely spikes when your going through something stressful
@Dothewalkoflife. Yes! I’ve just gone through a rough break up with my ex boyfriend which has caused so many groinal response and extremely bad hocd it’s so challenging especially because I have rocd and I keep thinking I was never attracted to him which is scary
@summer.rose I’ve had this exact thing. My hocd re’started’ after my breakup and it made me convinced I didn’t actually love him. But I know I absolutely did at the time
This is very normal. Your external factors that cause you stress can highten your ocd
I got this 13 years old. Now I am fifteen. I haven't got diagnosed but therapist has told me that this sounds hocd and ocd. I take meds and it has helped. My panick attacks stopped and my anxiety is better but I am still struggeling everyday. My ocd gets worse when I go to school. I just went today back to school after christmas holiday and my anxiety is so much worse. My biggest triggers are past proofs, groinal responses and my looks. I also have tocd thoughts and false memories.
@Finnishgirl I’m very similar to you. I have past proof that haunts me all the time. I get it.
@Dothewalkoflife. What did you do?
@Finnishgirl I hate talking about it because it makes me feel sick. But when I was 8/9 I practiced kissing and touching with 2 other girls that were almost double my age. Loads of times. And and that age I enjoyed it (that was hard to say) And I also used to watch films with naked women in a lot because I enjoyed that too at the ages 8-10 I have loadsss of false memories of crushes. Like when I admired my bothered girlfriend because she was so pretty I now feel like what if I was in love with her. Or the friends I practice kissing with. Because it made me have butterflies or because I enjoyed it. (Sorry if I rambled. I hate talking about this. But I want to try and help you)
@Dothewalkoflife. I know its hard, I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. I hate being on tiktok because there is always lesbians who tell how they googled girls kissing or something like that and that made they realize that they were gay. I just wanna die when I hear that because I did it.
Hey. I saw a post of yours a little while ago but I can’t find it now to comment. It was about things you did when you was younger that you believed are proof. I just wanted to reach out because I have done things VERY similar quite a few times and I wanted to let you know that you are not alone. At all. I’m also struggling with things from my past as ‘proof’ and I’m scared too. I wish I could find your post because I related a lot but didn’t manage to comment. I just wanted to ask if prehaps you have been diagnosed at all?
Hi!! Thank you for writing me. I am on meds but not diagnosed yet. What about you? What is your story?
@Finnishgirl Well this all started for me at like 14. Now I’m 16 almost 17. I’ve been diagnosed (I think. My psychiatrist told me it sounds like I have the signs of ocd and I’m obsessive) although I never mentioned my theme which makes me think I don’t have hocd. I’m supposed to take meds but I’m too scared of the outcome. What’s your story ?
Can anyone give me advice about having ocd while in school because it’s starting soon and I’m scared that I won’t do my best?
does anyone else’s thoughts/compulsions get worse as it gets later in the day?
Does it actually get worse when you first start doing exposures? My intrusive thoughts have gotten so much worse, it’s been 3 days since I started but my anxiety has gotten worse.
