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...

@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.

anyone with autism + ocd?
so. oh lord. half my ocd symptoms could be autism. (not that im looking for a triple diagnosis including adhd, its just interesting to explore) this little ol rabbit hole started with my friend, who happens to be autistic and passionate about how their own condition works, when they started slowly easing the convo into an autism screening and by the time i realized what he was doing it was “oh my god ur kinda right i might be wrong for denying all this time that i could have autism” always thought my experience with texture/sensory as a toddler (and now) was ocd, because thats mainly what made adults call me ocd, more blatant ocd signs aside (such as touching things “just right”, ordering items etc) wondered why i was like that when theres not even a *direct* link between ocd and sensory issues (not the same as somatic ocd) thought i just happen to be an extremely sensitive person since i was born, now realizing that couldve been a sign of autism, along side many more “quirks” ive always had anyone with autism and ocd that can tell me what their experience is like? what about when u were children? especially if u snuck under the radar until u were older, my parents have said only a few times in the moment that i remind them of an autistic kid but dont think i have it

Comorbidities
Hi guys, This is my first post on here, as I’ve been scared to be vulnerable in this way. I’ve had a lifelong journey of mental health, diagnosed with a myriad of things, and misdiagnosed with others. When I got diagnosed with OCD, things started to click and treatment has been going well. There’s still a disconnect, things I do that are different than others and aren’t compulsion or obsession related. The reason I’m posting is to ask if anyone has been diagnosed with OCD/Autism and how you navigated that comorbidity. Thank you to anyone who shares
