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

@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 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?

@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 ?

anybody else starting somewhere new in the next few days? school, work, etc? im starting at a new school and sweet baby jesus im nervous obviously im a little nervous about what people i’ll be meeting and what the next few weeks are gonna be like but mostly im afraid of being afraid, ugh! i think thats the essence of panic disorder, right? when i panic i feel like throwing up (never do, just feels like it) and so im afraid of the panic attacks because i feel sick (and i have a fear of vomiting) whenever i fear panicking, ive obviously already started the panicky reaction, duh! and then i worry about worrying myself into a panic attack! i could keep going! i just really want to have a good first day, man, just with the general amount of jitters everyone has. i dont think im the only one that feels like this hahahaha.

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.
