Is a constant feeling of dread common in those with OCD?
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.

Feelings of dread😭
Does anyone else experience feeling of dread or just wanting to quit life and give up. I notice I get like this after intrusive thoughts. Last night I had a bad one. I was up until 3am I couldn’t sleep because I was obsessing over the thought. I have harm OCD and it makes me fear that I could harm my husband. It’s awful he’s the best thing in my world and I just want all of this to stop😭😭 How do you guys deal with feelings like these. Do you experience dread? Also is night time worst for you?

Worried something bad will happen
Is this an OCD thing: just the general sense of worry or dread something bad may happen in the future? For example: planning a trip, and the thought "you could die by then!" Or something similar but related to loved ones?
