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

@ATLAfan164 Thanks for sharing. I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one experiencing anger due to my OCD.

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.

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.

so angry at everyone that doesn’t have ocd
lately i’ve just been so angry at anyone who doesn’t suffer from ocd. like i know it’s not their fault but i’m just so angry and jealous they don’t have to deal with this. i get mad when i see them do something as simple as sitting at the kitchen table without thinking about it when i could never in a million years do that because of my contamination ocd. i’m angry and jealous and i know i shouldn’t but i keep blowing up at people because of it. i know everyone has their issues but all i can think about is how much easier they have it because at least they aren’t like me. i’m just so jealous of everyone who doesn’t have to live like this. and i’m mad at myself for having ocd in the first place. it’s all so exhausting and i hate it.

Can my anger issues be resolved with ocd therapy
I have extreme anger issues and it's ruining my life and people around me. Can I address this issue of mine with ERP/ocd therapy?
