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

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.

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. 💪

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.

Triggered from NOCD article
Guys for the past couple of hours ive been spiraling! I wad researching and came across this harm ocd article question that has been worrying me. The title was "im scared of hurting someone when I'm mad. Can i trust myself?" And I was thinking "hey that's what ive been worried about for the past several months!" I even AVOID being angry. Im scared of it bc I get a lot of thoughts and I'm hyperaware of my hands and feel them tingly! Last time i tensed so hard to stay still as possible bc I was so so nervous from my thoughts and my hand twitched which made me SPIRAL. I never want to cause harm! And i always start crying after an argument bc the thoughts are so so scary! Anyway I got afraid bc the article said "research has shown that people with ocd don't struggle with impulse control- so if you find yourself intensely worried you could do harm based on the intrusive thoughts or urges you have, it's likely something else is going on." THAT SENTENCE HAS LEFT ME WITH A TON OF ANXIETY! Its so bad, my appetite is gone! I'm scared does this mean I don't have ocd and should be seriously concerned?!

Religious OCD
Hi! I have been struggling with ocd for many years of my life, however, I have recently been struggling with religious ocd. Currently my ocd has been putting thought into my mind like, “you shouldn’t go to that party, because “God” doesn’t what you to” or “don’t do this or else it’s going to make “God” mad.” These thoughts have been overall causing me so much anxiety, and truly I don’t know what to do. I’ve been struggling to identify it’s actually Gods voice or not. Also, my ocd has been also making my prayer a very stressful part of my day, which is not how it should feel at all. Now finding peace in prayer feels more like a chore, than a conversation. Does anybody else have ocd like this? If so, any tips?

Are mood swings a common sign of OCD?
I’m constantly finding myself getting irritated easily and sometimes it even confuses me because I was happy and fine two seconds ago. Like I feel emotionally unstable. I also randomly will get sentimental or sad and I just start crying. Is this just me??
