Emotional Contamination
Anyone else feels like their anxiety causes them low-mood? And which makes you feel depressed and numb? It is hard to get over this feeling.

Yes definitely, it makes it doubly difficult then.
Yes, it surely does. How do you deal with it? Any tips?
I understand your feelings, OCD can have influence on our happiness, as well as our concentration, but do not worry, you are not alone. Lots of people have similar feelings. Kind regards from Armenia.
I mean if anxiety would be directly influencing my mood. I was wondering if that is possible. Emotional Contamination OCD consists of have a obsession about a thing that leads to avoidance/compulsion. I was wondering if I'm doing that. Because right now my life is messed up. Regards
Does anyone else experience this lingering fear and anxiety because they think they’re capable of hurting someone? It’s killing me. I feel like I’m such a danger. I feel like I’m a predator. I feel like this awful person and I can’t shake it. I want to carry on with my day but I can’t. I don’t feel like I deserve it. I feel like I’ve done awful things. I can’t stop crying.
Dose anyone else experience that your OCD calms down and goes to the back of your mind during- feels almost safe and unaware of it but as soon as it's over and youve calmed down all the intrusive thoughts come rushing back 10x worse? I've had really awful panic attacks because of it the past two nights and it's exhausting I haven't been with another person in over a year because of how bad it was after and not being able to explain it properly to partners "no I'm not crying because of you" "no you didn't do anything wrong" I feel insane- like I'll never be able to have a normal functioning sexual time alone or with others do to it the compulsions that come with it are exhausting it's like the need to cleanse myself of filth like I'm disgusting and horrible until there's no traces I did anything in the first place I'm just so tired dose anyone have any tips of how to work through this- or at least be able to enjoy myself without crying afterwords? I have no idea what subtype this would even entail? I'm going to go with contamination I guess ?
I always wake up full of dread and fear. My anxiety is through the roof two seconds after I open my eyes. Someone on this app gave me a similar insight once I believe. But I think anxiety is just the urge to ruminate. About what? It probably doesn’t matter, as long as I can torture myself, as OCD loves. Does anyone else relate to this or agree maybe?
