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 ❤️

Hey, so idk if I have ocd, I would like to think I’m a very self aware person but I don’t wanna self diagnose at all, lmk what you guys think. So pretty much my whole life since I was young I remember having irrational fears im sure it was all trauma induced but when I was a kid I thought my father was poisoning me until I asked him, he started crying and was so shocked that I could ever even think that, my parents broke up when I was legit fresh out the womb, mom worked two jobs and disciplined me, dad let me do whatever on the weekends and got me snacks so I was obsessed with him so obsessed that it was mandatory for me to kiss his picture 20x everyday before school. Growing up I always felt followed by cameras or like someone out there was recording me waiting for me to do something embarrassing to expose me in front of the whole world and my life was over 🤣🤣 I thought my abusive ex bf was stalking me through my I phone camera after we broke up and it would truly stress me out, it made me believe that it was the reason he never reached out again bc I probably looked ugly in the camera he was stalking me through. If I fall out with a friend Ill over analyze everything to see if I did anything wrong and god forbid while I’m self reflecting I realize I did something wrong I feel like an evil person, verbatim the people I fall out with is bc they’ve done me wrong in some way and it has to b something hurtful or repeated mistakes for me to really stay away for good, so I’ll beat myself up for making mistakes with another person who’s made the same amount of mistakes if not more and in most cases I always fall short, and this when I question if it’s ocd or I’m just to self aware and see the ugly in me bc I’m not perfect and it’s just makes me feel so unsettled but again that’s a normal feeling and the next step is to forgive yourself and do better moving forward, not obsess over it like your trying to convince yourself you’re a good person. I’m also hot tempered and will say hurtful things when I’m mad I’m definitely a crash out in the way, you push my bottoms way too many times and I will shred you, and I’ll say things ik will hurt you and that’s just so low, then the anger goes away and I have to face the guilt, which makes my “ocd” 100x worse, it almost feels like I have to do everything right to not trigger it yet again I don’t have the self control to do it all right, I actually have a lot bpd tendencies again not diagnosing but I’m just trying to understand my brain. I worry about dying, getting a terminal illness. uti turning into kidney infection then into cancer kind of thing, knowing that life in general can b tragic is so scary to me, like what will be my story? What will be my life experience?. I believe that people see right through me and discuss it amongst each other, I always tell myself I am not that important but I can’t seem to shake it off sometimes. When I would break up with my ex I would have pre written paragraphs ready to b send if he ever decided to reach back and I would do this to make sure I didn’t forget a single thought, that every point i felt I need to prove was there, and that bothers me bc do I want win an argument or fix the issue. All of these feelings make me feel so pathetic and embarrassed people move on with their lives and I’m still stuck on something that happened 3 yrs ago. Then I’ll get manic get a tattoo, change my hair, go out clubbing do what I can to b the sexy young girl that I am and it helps in the moment but it worsens my mental after the euphoria is gone. I’m currently staying home, not going out, have only 1 friend so I feel like ocd progressively got worse now, I don’t remember it getting this bad in a while. lmk what you guys think don’t judge or think I’m embarrassing I’m actually so cool and if have to convince you I’m cool I will LMFAOO no but fr help
