I had my mom check my heart beat repeatedly to make sure it was working right. Refusing to eat a sandwich that a fly landed on.

@itswheremydemonshide Yeah I didn't realize it was OCD until years later. I remember going somewhere and asking "will you just check my heartbeat to make sure I'm okay?"

Earliest memory I have is freaking out over knives while washing the dishes. Thinking I could just pick it up and cut my arm, it wouldn’t be too hard to do it. Then I would freak myself out by thinking that. Thinking I was insane or crazy. My mom took me to the local priest or something I think. He didn’t do anything.

I used to love going to tennis lessons until one day I had a thought about hitting others with the racket. I started having breakdowns and wouldn't go anymore. Also had a swallowing issue where I would swallow after every time I spoke

Walking in and out of rooms several times, getting yelled at because I cared more about the fact that an object fell out of the fridge and touched someone's foot than the fact that it fell on their foot (they were not injured, at all. They just wanted to make a "why don't you care" point. I was reacting to severe contamination anxiety, which felt like an alarm that would not go off), constantly asking for reassurance, mental compulsions that had to be done in a certain order, so they wouldn't come true, not wanting to use a knife sharper than a butter knife because I was afraid I would lose control and stab someone, drawing others into completing answer and response compulsions. There were some I don't remember if I did as a kid, or they started in college.

I was (and still am) very suspicious about anything remotely strange in my food. I always thought it meant it was poisoned. I didn’t think my family had poisoned me but instead that someone at the plant had whether they did it intentionally or not.
