Anyone else have a general feeling of dread?
Sometimes I'll have the general feeling Something Bad is going to happen. Is this common with OCD?

I don’t know if it is OCD related, but yes, sometimes I do have feelings of “waiting for the other shoe to drop”. Typically it’s when things have been going really well, and I start to anticipate something bad happening. I also ruminate on it and start to have intrusive thoughts about what may happen so, yaknow, maybe it is a little more OCD related than I though 😅
All the time... especially since I'm finally in a safe place now. I just keep waiting for the next "bad" thing to happen. We will be okay though.
Yes. It’s and awful feeling something it just hits randomly it kinda feels like I don’t know what’s wrong but something is. ❤️🩹 hang in there be as present as you can. Laugh anyway and live happily because you deserve it.
Does anyone ever experience this weird thing where ocd makes you feel like “you would have had no control and done this”. Like everything you feel and believe would have gone flying out the window and you would have done something you know you don’t want. Especially when a POTENTIALLY real situation could be happening and it’s not just the thoughts alone. Your brain is like oh this is real life you really would have done this or that. Driving me crazy.
I’m not sure if this is ocd but sometimes I’ll just be doing literally anything and my brain will be like what if this this and this happens and it’ll be like so random like an example id be like walking home and id be like what if my whole family got k!lled in this really brutal way and it’ll have nothing to do with anything im doing ill just get a really vivid thought of something horrible happening and it freaks me out every time and sometimes I just have random ones about like me like having a whole scenario of me singing in front of my whole school and everyone loving it (I can’t sing) sometimes the thoughts are just intrusive thoughts or somethings they’re like full on daydreams where there’s like a whole plot to it like even the bad scary ones it’s weird
When i see something, get reminded of something or talk to someone that triggers my train of thoughts, i feel a sudden racing spike in my heart, a knot in my stomach, kind of like that nervous butterfly feeling you get when you’re on a rollercoaster thats about to go downhill, or when you get jump-scared. My hands start to sweat and i just want to remove myself from the situation asap, wishing i felt the way i did about 2 minutes ago when i was doing just fine and wasn’t overthinking for once. The OCD goes wild in my head, instant overanalysis, sending me down into a spiral, making me want to dig a hole and hide in there until i somehow manage to persuade myself im not a bad person before I can go about with my day with ease again.
