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.

Kind of Spiraling
Hi guys! I’m new to the community and I’ve recently received my OCD diagnosis (tho I’ve known about it since childhood). I’ve been somewhat spiraling lately as I wait for my first ERP session (hooray!) I was just wondering if any of you guys have received ERP for existential OCD and if it was successful? My existential OCD compulsions are more so mental and have been affecting me in the sense of dream/memory flashbacks and giving me a sort of “uncanny” feeling about everything around me. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you❤️

I need you people😞!
please i need someone to share experiences... - that a certain facial expression of a person to whom ocd is attached causes a lot of thoughts that are connected to that facial expression, and that the images in your head are very detailed, and that they have a sound, words, and that you have a feeling of some kind of crawling from the groin all over your body?

Intrusive emotions. Anyone else?
I posted about this the other day and a therapist responded that if it has the usual ocd tells, then it’s most likely ocd. I’m just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. They say even if it’s new for you chances are others have had the same or similar ocd experience. So, this is new for me and just like when I get an intrusive thought i’ve recently been getting what I call intrusive emotions. I will feel something like sad or jealous in a situation when in reality I don’t feel that way at all. For example, my ocd targets certain family members and if one of them is watching tv and thinks a woman is pretty i’ll suddenly feel sad or jealous when I don’t actually care or feel that way because that’s my family member and I don’t think about or feel for them in any inappropriate way. Also, sometimes when I have a harm intrusive thought my ocd will say that I want something horrible to happen to my family member and I will feel like I actually want it but that’s not what I want or how I feel at all. Is there anyone who has had this or something similar happen?
