Besides of so-ocd, I'm always nervous and anxious when I'm in public. I'm afraid to look at people when I walk near them in the streets and I'm always worried I'm acting weird and awkard (sometimes I even feel almost tearsin my eyes without any reason!). I know it's due to anxiety, but is this related to ocd? If so, what theme is it?
i do this as well. im not sure exactly if itās just major social anxiety but some of it feels like it might be related to pure o? iāve seen it may be called hyperawareness as well
I also think it may be related to pure o! I've always been a little shy in social situation but this is new :0 i'll try to search more information about hyperawerness, thank you!
can someone with this theme help me iām so scared and i canāt stop having panic attacks is this OCD??? So i always have struggled most with sucicidal ocd and harm ocd. i never really had any other themes. but recently ive struggled with SOOCD. My whole life i have never EVER been into girls ever and i could never even think of ever being with a girl in my entire life. iām having extreme amounts of anxiety and i have compulsions to make sure i look at a girl and donāt feel anything towards them or anything. My mind is literally going āwhat if your just in denialā or āwhat if youāve just been hiding it all these yearsā When i know i havenāt. i have all of the symptoms of SOOCD and i still know that im not gay,but these thoughts are extremely distressing and have been the worse to deal with. Iām constantly panicking and doing compulsions to get these thoughts to leave and they wonāt. iām scared and these thoughts are making my mind scared. What if iām going against my morals and iām lying to myself like and i just went through a tough breakup too so that is shooting these thoughts and anxiety. Please help omg!!!
so i was on instagram and it came up with other signs of ocd then someone commented this doesnāt mean you have ocd now im stressed that its not ocd background - i had so-ocd for a few years then got treatment for it but am now on the waiting list for further treatment for other stuff but i dont have another theme which makes me feel like its not ocd my day to day life consists of touching the door handle every time you go past it or someone will die, and inability to send emails without re reading loads of times and getting other people to check because im scared i wrote something bad but the what if itās not ocd thought is triggering me now and i donāt know what do
This list by ai gives a good summary of my symptoms. Does it resemble OCD or is it something else? 1. Compulsions (OCD-specific behaviors): ā¢ Feeling the need to flex or contract muscles an even number of times, equally on both sides of your body. ā¢ Needing to reverse actions (for example, if you roll your eyes or trace a line with your finger, you feel compelled to do it again in the exact opposite way). 2. Intrusive Thoughts (OCD-specific ruminations): ā¢ Daydreaming about people you care about getting hurt (e.g., school shooting, injury, or kidnapping). ā¢ Sometimes feeling like you might want something bad to happen to someone you find attractiveāpossibly because of a desire to help or save them, though itās confusing. ā¢ These thoughts can sometimes provide a twisted sense of relief while remaining distressing and confusing. 3. Sexual Orientation OCD: ā¢ Experiencing confusion or doubt about your sexual orientation. 4. Contamination Thoughts: ā¢ Feeling like things are contaminated, especially after touching something gross. 5. Sensory Compulsions: ā¢ Feeling the need to smell your hand after touching areas like your ear or hair. 6. ADHD-like Symptoms / Additional Observations: ā¢ Fidgeting or moving your legs when standing or sitting.
