How it started ?
I am curious, how your OCD started and how you doubted it was OCD? (It can be any time of OCD)

I was born with OCD from genetics, so it’s always been there.

I had OCD as a child but never got proper treatment for it. It wasn’t until earlier this year, I smoked weed on a balcony and was immediately triggered after receiving intrusive thoughts about jumping over while being high. It literally stuck in my brain and I’ve been going through a flare up now for three months. I didn’t think it could ever get this bad but medication and ERP has been helping and I knew if it didn’t happen now it would happen sometime.

I was just wondering, is this OCD?- When I pray, I often keep repeating the same phrase until it feels solid or right. Then I have to move onto the next phrase but not in a way that I lose the first phase/the effect of it in me so I have to start again. For example I'm praying to God 'please help my dad to never get cancer' lots of times and then quickly moving onto 'if I break any promises to you god please help them not to count, I'm sorry for ever making them' but if I feel like I've lost the cancer bit I have to start again. I'll feel good after doing it and then start doing a task and then have to do it again.

@Anonymous Let me ask you, did this intrusive thought felt like an urge ? Like you were going to do the intrusive thought ?

I'm so sorry you are going through this :( it's not a reflection of you, OCD just attacks what we value the most. I hope you feel better soon!!

I started when I watched a video about schizophrenia in 9th grade, and then idk it just spiraled and I was fine for years and then one day in senior year of highschool I panicked that I was a serial killer and it turns out I was having severe harm ocd.
