Yes! All the time. I constantly feel like I'm on the verge of losing my job. I know for a fact that my boss would be shocked to hear me say that. She has told me on numerous occasions that I am a valued member of the team, I'm great with both coworkers and customers and I have a ton of knowledge. Some of my OCD themes im like "Where in the heck did that even come from?" Some of them I know exactly where it came from. This is one that is based in a real life experience. In 2001, I was unjustly fired. After that, I had trouble keeping a job. I was working for a temp agency. Because I was unemployed, I had to take whatever they offered me, whether I wanted it or no, or I would lose my unemployment. I had several years, where I couldn't keep a job. But I have been with my current employer for over 7 years and my current position for almost 5 years (in December) yet I think about this constantly.

I feel you! I was new and I went around a rule at one of my jobs so that a friend would be able to purchase a product before a customer. I didn’t think it was that big of a deal because either way, the store was getting money. I essentially got treated like a criminal, escorted out of the building, and was put on leave. I eventually just resigned because I didn’t think I’d be able to work there without having hard feelings towards my coworker and manager. I always fear that that will happen again.

Follow the anxiety, and try to scenarios where you get fired. You could also try doing the things that scare you, but I would rely on a therapist to decide what those things should be.

Been struggling with existential OCD lately. Very hard to describe the thoughts/feelings, but it is a constant feeling of being stuck in my head. Like what is consciousness and where do I think from? Like I think it’s OCD, maybe it is maybe it isn’t. But if it is, what would be good ERP exercises? Just existing (lol)? And what would be my response prevention? I’m not even sure what mental compulsions I may be doing.

I have been really battling with my SO OCD, and I’ve recently started to have a ton of wins!!! I’m really excited about it, but as I’ve noticed myself not engaging as much… different things have popped up. Now im obsessed with people’s perception on me, and them looking at me and thinking by how I walk, how I talk, what I wear, how I move… that I am gay? And am so convinced everyone thinks that and “knows something that I don’t”. Is that typical with OCD? If so, any ERP advice on how to overcome these thoughts?

What would I do for ERP if my OCD says because I didn’t do something correctly or remember something I will have panic attacks that don’t end?
