OCD causes
curious—does OCD have to be something you are just born with or are there underlying causes which could either cause or worsen your case??

I’m not sure if there’s any definitive research backing the origin of OCD itself, but I imagine that the ways our brains are structured play a factor into it. Similar to how depression can be a cause of neurological differences in the brain (a difficulty to produce happy chemicals), I think anxiety, OCD, and many other mental illnesses follow that same pattern. A propensity to misread threats and a difficulty in regulating mood. Environmental factors absolutely come into play, however. I was emotionally neglected for most of my life and raised to always be distrustful. It absolutely contributed to my OCD. My partner thinks that my upbringing is what CAUSED my OCD! Not quite sure on that, however, since I started experiencing symptoms at as young of an age as I can remember.

There is pandas, a weird name for developing OCD after having a strep infection. I have heard of head trama and genetics too. Bottom line erp can retrain your brain to recognize these thoughts and anxiety from these intrusive thoughts as false alarms that can be dismissed.

My psychiatrist told me it's biological and environmental. The book freedom from obsessive compulsive disorder by Jonathan Grayson tells you all. And it really give you a good understanding of erp.

are evil spirits causing our mental torment ? (nr)
What’s involved in this process? •demons •tyrants (actual people) •replacing hobbies with church I believe we were all born with talents, interests, I don’t think religion or spirituality should ever be a hobby or something for fun or to dive into when ur bored religion or spirituality should only be approached when needed needed crucially needed is what I’m starting to believe. That just makes sense. Why would God want us thanking him constantly when he just wants to help us and want us to know like “hey bro here if u need anything holler at me.” and like he kicks up his feet and does his own thing, like what if god is just like that and then here I am having mad anxiety that I just put Gods name I lowercase but I meant no disrespect towards god when doing that. n that’s my point again, why would the person who created me to experience feeling grass on my thighs and walking this earth to look at sunsets he creates for us each day n eat good yellow mangos n explore rainforest and ultimately “LIVE LIFE.”, of course I would assume the one who wanted us to experience life on earth for a bit would maybe perhaps be like any ordinary day and say, “make good decisions.” Before you walk out the door, like imagine the whole Bible was just those 3 factors I’ve just pointed out •live life • make good decisions •I’m here if you need me I’m really gonna create the type of God that works for me idc anymore this is really giving me so much peace Do/Did many/most people with OCD have an absent parent/abusive parent? I’m starting to think that could also be another reason why OCD is developed Is that already a proven fact? Would make lots of sense.
