Can crying and being upset trigger OCD, like certain feelings you dont like or thoughts?

Do certain types of feelings come with it?

definitely!! Each time i get upset with my children i get triggered.

What kind of like feelings and thoughts do you have?

First it starts with getting upset, that leads to elevating my anxiety which then ends up in intrusive thoughts. At that point i have racing intrusive thoughts, about all kinds of ocd themes.

But after having therapy ive learned to take a deep breath just let them run there course and not take them personal since it is not coming from me but rather coming from the disorder itself. And move on with no compulsions or reassurance or anything anymore

Feelings of fear, guilt, worry, depression, or stress, even little sleep, and an unhealthy lifestyle can elevate ocd

Can OCD just permanently go away on its own?

Typically from all the research and educational knowledge I've received it doea not go away. However, the more left untreated the worse it will get worse

I would say if youre not getting therapy currently, you should start with therapy. Otherwisr you could start with an ocd book, youtube talks on ocd, and even on this app there are many experts who give the same information a therapist would.

I have no clue how to get help because i've tried getting a therapist for OCD but its just to expensive

Ocd peera.com is a good support group that can help as well

If you dont mind me asking what kind of ocd do you have?

Ill check it out and thanks for answering questions it helped a lot man.

Oh i have ROCD, a little bit of HOCD and I also get triggered by "signs" quite frequently

Oh one more question do you also see "signs"

Sorry i meant to say ocd does not go away on its on it'll either be easier to manage or completely go away by treating it. But if left completely untreated it just wont go away

Signs as in stop signs or signs like "messages?"

Like a song you're listening to says for example "you need to let go" or "I love someone else" and it triggeres you and I get scared and think that its something trying to tell me that my relationship isnt right.

Yes i used to get triggered by songs or shows movies etc and take certain things from them as signs, but the more knowledge ive received about ocd the more ive known it was just the disorder of ocd acting up. Especially now years later i think back to those thoughts and laugh at how i was so wrapped up in these intrusive thoughts thinking i was seeing or hearing from songs signs which at thw time i thought wrre real but years later i realized they never ever not even slightly came true. And so now with pure ocd intrusive thoughts that I'll get and if my ocd gets triggered by a "sign," from anything, i compare it to how i used to think it was real and that helps me come into reality, snap out of it, and know now that its just ocd and what the disorder does.

I hope that makes sense lol
