I would obsess for weeks at a time about death. I worried about my death, my families death, what came after death. That’s the biggest one I can remember for myself.

around last year my brain focused and obsessed over “what if im not real? do i even exist” and i would cry and get bad anxiety from it and i would also feel like i had to remind myself over and over that i was real

I was terrified of throwing up as a child, and would do rituals at bedtime to "make sure" that I wouldn't get sick. I also constantly asked my mother to reassure me that I was okay.

I didn't have OCD as a child, but I had OCD-like habits. I engaged in thought suppression a lot, and I had other little things I'd do.

I was diagnosed about 2 weeks ago. I believe that I've had OCD since I was about 8. Looking back, I see so many things now that are OCD relate Terrified I was going to fall off the ferris wheel Ruminating Seeking reassurance Counting and checking Constant what ifs and imaging the worst case scenario Freaking out that I was going to get kicked out of college for a library fine of less than $3 Believing I had every disorder we discussed in my psych classes in college Obsessing for an entire semester that I was going to develop schizophrenia Not drinking any alcohol because I was convinced I would become an alcoholic. Intense fears of driving a car, heights, and bees A brain that never stopped racing. Constantly feeling like God was disappointed and angry with me. Perfectionism And thats only a partial list I never told anyone about any of this. I didn't realize this wasn't normal. I thought everyone dealt with stuff like this. I wish I had told someone. I probably would have gotten diagnosed much sooner and saved myself a hell of a lot of pain and misery.
