OCD & Anger
My OCD makes me angry at the world. I have been so angry/irritable lately and I can’t seem to control it. Does anyone else struggle with anger and rage due to their OCD?

Not so much but my friend who has OCD as well deals with this. I have heard of this being something that people with OCD can have!!! Especially when you are incredibly empathetic!! You got this my dear friend! I would suggest deep breathing techniques and finding your happy place to go to when you get upset or have a feeling of anger or rage. Definitely worth talking to your therapist about!!! 💖💖

@Princesslorita Thank you so much for sharing. It’s really interesting that you mentioned that empathetic people deal with more anger with their OCD because I consider myself an empathetic person.

Yes I am angry a lot, especially since my ocd seems to affect my ideas of morality so I get mad at the world a lot

hey, i totally get how overwhelming and frustrating it can feel when ocd makes you angry at everything. it's rough, but you're definitely not alone in this struggle. 😞 i'm dealing with a different ocd theme, but i've found some resources that really help me manage better. one of them is the "unstuck ocd therapy tools" app. it's been a game-changer for me, offering ai-personalized guidance and exercises exactly when i need them. my local ocd support group recommended it, and it's made a big difference. also, the ocd reddit has been a great place for me to feel less isolated and to learn from others' experiences. hang in there. 💪

Same here. I'm always angry because it's so time-consuming and exhausting to have everything be perfect/just right.

@cyc1017 It definitely is very time-consuming and exhausting to have everything be perfect/just right especially when living with others.

I have definitely been experiencing this so much lately that Ive decided to go back on antidepressants to help. When I was on antidepressants I was never this angry because it blunts some of your emotions.

my OCD has caused my marriage to start to fail because I cannot controls my impulses and get very angry when I can’t make someone understand. Does anyone have advice on how I could controls the anger better or make my spouse understand?

Anger
Does anyone else fear getting so angry that you lose control? I fear this terribly. I’ve been having anger but I knows it’s just because I’m so tired of OCD and dealing with having it. But I fear I’m going to snap and I don’t want to. Please tell me I’m not alone in this. I have a very short patience span, I’m always tensed up and the tiniest thing can make me so angry. I just don’t understand this.
