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.

Flare ups when stressed.
Does anyone Else’s ocd flare up bad when in stressful life situations? I was doing amazing and now that I’m having some drama with my life it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Anyone else?

Does anyone else's OCD get worse when you haven't slept well? I haven't been sleeping well since this weekend and my OCD and anxiety is just making me feel super down. Does anyone else have this problem?

Intrusive emotions. Anyone else?
I posted about this the other day and a therapist responded that if it has the usual ocd tells, then it’s most likely ocd. I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. They say even if it’s new for you chances are others have had the same or similar ocd experience. So, this is new for me and just like when I get an intrusive thought i’ve recently been getting what I call intrusive emotions. I will feel something like sad or jealous in a situation when in reality I don’t feel that way at all. For example, my ocd targets certain family members and if one of them is watching tv and thinks a woman is pretty i’ll suddenly feel sad or jealous when I don’t actually care or feel that way because that’s my family member and I don’t think about or feel for them in any inappropriate way. Also, sometimes when I have a harm intrusive thought my ocd will say that I want something horrible to happen to my family member and I will feel like I actually want it but that’s not what I want or how I feel at all. Is there anyone who has had this or something similar happen?
