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.

@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 ?

Anxious about everything
Guys I need help. I feel so alone . Basically I have this compulsion where I feel the need to write everything but this stems from me being anxious about EVERYTHING. Like my mom came in my room and I was irritated and snapped, immediately regretted now I keep writing “don’t be mean to mom next time” but I keep thinking about it. Then I think about how I finally left my house today and all the surfaces I touched that could’ve been contaminated and now I’m writing “next time don’t touch this and this”. Then I think about all the things I need to be doing for this week and I’m writing “don’t forget to do this and this” even though I’ve written it 5 times already. This is what happens everyday btw. My brain always thinks about something I need to be doing and making me anxious that I’ll forget it which is why I write it down on my notes app. I’m sooo mentally exhausted I need help pls!! Anyone have any advice ? I used to think I need to stop the writing but really I need to stop the anxious thoughts coming into my head . People say I need to accept the thoughts and let it go but that’s too hard for me

Worried about not being anxious?
These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.

I feel anxious
I’m on my period and o think my ocd feels a little worse today… I feel anxious and like something bad is about to happen, like I can’t move or talk cause I’ll freak out or snap and do something. Also I had a gronial response about an SA topic and I feel horrible, I’ve noticed that I do have these gronials as if I’m actually into that but idk if it can happen that you have the gronial and think “oh I’m horny, not about this but I am” is that possible? Idk how to say it… also I think I just want reassurance but I’m also scared…
