Yes most def. it makes you feel extreme guilt until you can no longer feel guilty. With harm ocd, it makes you unable to even hurt a spider. It makes you the most pacifist person in the world.
I am someone who is very sensitive and therefore have a lot of empathy. this causes my ocd mainly to not want to hurt others. I am very careful with my words and afterwards worry a lot about things that I have or have not said. moreover, I also fear that I will make others sick and that I will destroy something of theirs (eg their car by accidentally bumping into it with my shoe...). I also pray a lot because i think when i don't do it something bad will happen to my friends and family....
Do you get scared that music you listen to or overhearing things or watchinf a movie maybe is a "sign" when it sounds like its telling you that you don't really love your partner or your relationship is bad?
I don't have the signs in this way. When somebody dies i have to pray because otherwise somebody near me Will die the same way. I think what you are saying is almost the same but in a different way. It's like you OCD speaking i guess...
I’m here to tell you that yes you aren’t alone in this :)
Do you get "signs" with it?
Define signs?
@flynnyuh Like a sign of your character? A premonition?
Oh definitely! I feel others pain so intensely it hurts! Then I feel like I somehow caused their pain! I also get ‘bad feelings’ which I often work out I have picked up from someone else.. I.e someone down or in a bad mood around me.. subconsciously I absorb it! Then my OCD tells me that because I have this ‘bad feeling’ that it’s because something bad is going to happen or has already happened! Then I’m back into checking everyone is ok 😩 My flatmate will often say to me ok stop and think.. what could this bad feeling be? Is it yours or is it someone else’s.. do you want to give it back to them? That helps!
Is there a way to be sure that you're an empath? I'm not completely sure if I am. My cousin who is an Empath and can also talk to spirits says she can tell I am but im unsure.
Is anyone experiencing existential OCD as well?
