I wish I could help!! I feel the same way about black (kinda). The color stresses me out and I have no clue why.

I’m the same actually! I can’t go near red though for slightly different reasons. I also can’t go near the number 6. I’ve tried to slowly start exposing myself to it for example I have a poster in my room with the number 6 on it and I’ve started to wear or incorporate the colour red into stuff I do for example when I draw. It’s about doing what’s right for you and making progress in your own time but you can do it!

When I was little, I was involved in a very bad car accident while wearing a purple sweat suit. For years and I mean YEARS, I wouldn’t wear anything purple, touch anything purple, look at anything purple for fear that something would happen to my family. I still have a small twinge of fear when I buy something that has purple in it, but I now realize that was just part of my worry and had nothing to do with the accident.

Recently, I’ve been struggling a ton with what I eat/put into my body? I’m a first year college student with a few different health issues (including IBS), and lately it’s been hard for me to find food on campus that doesn’t upset my stomach. I also have pretty severe emetophobia, and feel extremely anxious when I feel sick. The ironic thing is that being anxious makes me feel even worse, so I end up sticking myself in an impossible loophole. My OCD has taken hold of these fears over the past few months, and it’s been such a struggle. Especially since people have been getting food poisoning from various dining halls on my campus lately. My OCD has gotten so bad that sometimes I’m too afraid to eat food other than what I buy myself. I feel so trapped. I don’t want my OCD to affect my physical health or prevent me from eating, bc I love eating!! It’s the fear of getting sick that’s the problem. And it’s even harder when everything is so unfamiliar. Just wondering if anyone could relate. Advice is appreciated!

Does anyone else get fixated on one “topic” with their ocd?? like for me trains and guns are mine. like i’m scared of trains and im scared to be around guns because that’s what triggers my ocd and makes me convince me that that is the way to go. i literally worry myself into thinking im going to sh*t myself when i don’t even have a gun but my ocd convinces me. idk if im explaining it good, but its a real struggle. just need some tips & advice

I cannot get over my perfectionism ocd surrounding my hair. The color needs to be perfect without any undertone left of red or orange, or I freak out (due to past experience). I’m a natural brunette, so I dye my hair brown…. Making me have red/orange undertones. I want to get over my ocd completely and the fear I get from dying it/looking at it/constantly checking and comparing to others hair. It’s exhausting. Any tips ? I want ocd to stop taking control of my life. I want to enjoy getting my hair done and not freaking out every second over it.
