1.) I would say it’s about a 7. I feel good about myself most of the time and when I get attacked by ideas of worthless or something I tend to remember it’s the OCD talking. 2.) Nope. I had it once or twice where a guy would bug me but I wouldn’t call it bullying. 3.) Yes! For the most part I do 4.) I would say so 5.) Hmm I think so? I’d need some examples of what you mean

1. Between 7-9, depending on the day 2. Yes :/ just middle school though 3. Yeah! About most things 4. Oh for sure, it can be really hard, I care a lot about people and how they feel. 5. I’d say my moral standards are very high

1. 8, but I feel like I get worried about anxiety and OCD holding me back which lowers it. 2. Yes massively for a couple of years. 3. Yes. 4. I feel like I'm pretty empathetic. 5. Extremely high

1. Middling to low, it varies. I prefer to go with self compassion than self esteem but I'm not amazing at that either. 2. Yes, age 8 to 11. 3. Yes, pretty much. 4. I don't really know what you mean by this question. If someone is sad it doesn't automatically make me feel sad, no, that would be pretty awful internal boundaries. Compassion is a better idea. 5. Yes for myself, not really for others. I don't like being around judgemental people either.

1) when I am not plagued with anxiety, I would say 8-9! However, during the hard times it can drop to as low as like a 2 or 3. 2) Kinda. People made fun of me behind my back for a while. 3) I think so, but I would need more clarification on what would that would qualify. 4) Yes. Definitely. If someone I love is going through a hard time I usually suffer with them. 5) I try to keep them to my spiritual standards as much as possible.

1. Hmm my self esteem is really low these days.. maybe 3/4/5 depending on the day I guess 2. Not too much, no. I have always been in the nerdier less popular friend groups but I have never been singled out and bullied. 3. Gee I hope so ? my ocd says otherwise.. 4. I think I’m pretty empathetic, yeah 5. Again I would hope so but my ocd is always trying to convince me I’m bad sooo idk but hoping yes, it’s something I value Interesting questions thank u ❤️

I know that at times it’s hard to be thankful for who I am and what I have in life. Would you like to help me think more positively with the top 3 things you love about your life? It can be the people you’re surrounded by, a hobby, a food, animal, plant, TV show, weather, etc.

I read a lot of other people’s posts where they deal with intrusive feelings, and sometimes even emotions? Would anyone care to further explain so i can understand this better? it would be very much appreciated.

So I just joined and I’ve been reading through this forum. And I feel a strong sense of compassion for everyone here. Reading about people’s OCD concerns shows me that people with OCD may be particularly sensitive and caring. I have struggled with OCD since I was a kid, but having compassion for other people’s OCD is helping me have compassion for myself. Maybe that perspective might help another person. If we can have grace for another person, we can give ourselves grace as well. I’m working on self forgiveness and gentleness when normally I beat myself up for my intrusive thoughts
