I think one of the most frustrating things about OCD is how sporadic it can be. Some days you can be completely fine and some are completely anxiety ridden and just horrible overall. I feel like I get more anxious about whether I really have it or not when I seem to be doing well, or seeing people online stigmatizing or generalizing OCD as one thing. OCD is so different for everyone and it can present at any given time. Thank you for sharing! You are not alone!

@Anonymous I think a lot of it recently has been intrusive thoughts about violent things, like in dreams sometimes or just on a regular basis. Iām in a new relationship which has been difficult as well because I keep feeling anxious that I dont actually like my partner or that Iām manipulating them because I avoid intimacy and things like that. I do like them, I just keep getting a lot of negative thoughts about the physical aspect of it and also that I might be a horrible person and manipulating them. Luckily they also have OCD so they definitely understand the struggle but it still doesnāt help with the guilt. Also another big thing was being able to eat. For several years I had a hard time consuming meat and animal products because of violent intrusive thoughts. Itās better than it was before but it still makes me nauseous sometimes seeing animal organs in dissection labs or real human cadavers for labs as well. I feel like avoiding putting myself in a situation to see dead things or stuff like that has made it easier to eat but it still comes back from time to time. And then thereās just the rituals and repetition that gets tiring too. Sorry for the dump, those were just things I thought of right off the bat, but it feels good to talk to people who understand it a bit.
