yes i get that too, mine started like last year after i had a bad high from smoking too much weed one night and having a panic attack. and i haven’t smoked since but i started thinking my food and drinks were edibles (ridiculous ik) and i avoided drinks from other people and food. that turned into me thinking my food was just poisoned. i haven’t gotten over it yet i still get those thoughts but i just eat the food anyway but i get a lot of anxiety doing so

That’s the thing about anxiety — it will latch on to ANYTHING— so yours at the moment is food being poisoned. Mine has run the gamut oh my god it’s always something new! Never been worried about food tho but there is still time :P I’ve stressed over simple stuff such as taking lunch breaks at work (“I’ll be fired”) or drinking beer while I’m on a diet/ exercise kick (“I’ll be a fat lard forever”) so it’s just so fluid I tell ya... reading about other people’s obsessions kind of helps put yours in perspective and maybe see how foolish the thoughts really are!

@ramona THATS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME! ever since I had the panic attack after being high and it all went down hill from there. That's when my OCD flared up.

Sometimes I had some relationship OCD and then I didn’t qualify for contamination OCD however I know in relationships partners like to be close and drink out of each others cup. My partner was thirsty and getting very hot and he asked for my drink and I gave it to him he felt better and I am so beyound happy he did! I feel a lot of shame admitting this, he told me I could have my drink back and I said thank you! 😊 He noticed I didn’t drink it because in my mind it says it is contaminated and I felt extremely bad that he noticed so I got a piece of gum to distracte us I then had to spit out the gum because it wasn’t a good flavor then my brain told me well… ( Ms.OCD) said if I don’t drink it it will hurt his feelings and then that means I don’t like him and then I drink it then I spiraled from there lol 😂 I am so sorry it wasn’t a weird funny story I was wondering if anyone else can relate? I was wondering if there is any advice I can please have? Thank you so much!! Please write down something in the comments if you are struggling because I want to help you all as well!! Thank you!!

I have pure ocd i think , i always gotta make sure i do certain things like tap things , light switches on n off , shut things few times and re open them till it feels right . Walk in a room go back out and back in out in in till my mind is right Its exhausting

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
