Yes definitely, it makes it doubly difficult then.
Yes, it surely does. How do you deal with it? Any tips?
I understand your feelings, OCD can have influence on our happiness, as well as our concentration, but do not worry, you are not alone. Lots of people have similar feelings. Kind regards from Armenia.
I mean if anxiety would be directly influencing my mood. I was wondering if that is possible. Emotional Contamination OCD consists of have a obsession about a thing that leads to avoidance/compulsion. I was wondering if I'm doing that. Because right now my life is messed up. Regards
How do you guys get past the anxiety? I feel like my thoughts are the only thing that control my mind. So often I feel like I should just leave my partner even tho I love them so much because I just feel like these thoughts are too much. I over analyze everything. I feel so stuck and defeated. I just want to be normal. I feel so toxic for the thoughts that I have

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?
