Anyone else have a general feeling of dread?
Sometimes I'll have the general feeling Something Bad is going to happen. Is this common with OCD?

I don’t know if it is OCD related, but yes, sometimes I do have feelings of “waiting for the other shoe to drop”. Typically it’s when things have been going really well, and I start to anticipate something bad happening. I also ruminate on it and start to have intrusive thoughts about what may happen so, yaknow, maybe it is a little more OCD related than I though 😅
All the time... especially since I'm finally in a safe place now. I just keep waiting for the next "bad" thing to happen. We will be okay though.
Yes. It’s and awful feeling something it just hits randomly it kinda feels like I don’t know what’s wrong but something is. ❤️🩹 hang in there be as present as you can. Laugh anyway and live happily because you deserve it.
When i see something, get reminded of something or talk to someone that triggers my train of thoughts, i feel a sudden racing spike in my heart, a knot in my stomach, kind of like that nervous butterfly feeling you get when you’re on a rollercoaster thats about to go downhill, or when you get jump-scared. My hands start to sweat and i just want to remove myself from the situation asap, wishing i felt the way i did about 2 minutes ago when i was doing just fine and wasn’t overthinking for once. The OCD goes wild in my head, instant overanalysis, sending me down into a spiral, making me want to dig a hole and hide in there until i somehow manage to persuade myself im not a bad person before I can go about with my day with ease again.
I keep getting a random feeling of anxiety, I’ll be doing good/better and then it randomly pops into my head. It’s not a specific thought it’s more of like an uneasy feeling that I can’t wrap my head around. It feels like a deep sense of doom/fear or something like that. I’m not sure if me trying to figure it out is a compulsion/ my ocd just wanting to figure it out or if I should just sit with it and let it be.
Hello everyone. So, basically every time I feel any kind of peace/pleasure (simple ones, like hmm today I’m enjoying a song, I felt good with my sleep, etc) my ocd tries to convince me something is wrong and then I get anxious because I was feeling good. It’s so messed up. Anyone been through this?
