I had an eating disorder growing up and very likely have body dysmorphic disorder related to OCD/perfectionism. So I would say yes. I realize eating disorders and BDD are not OCD but high risk of having both. Not sure if this is what you're getting at but yes, I see other women and I am like, how can I be that comfortable in my own skin?

Yes, for me a lot of social interaction are difficult because I have intrusive thought that tell me what I think this person is thinking about me, and that create a lot of distress because I have to prove to my self that it is no true (it is a compulsion so it dosent work because the thought will came again). Also I think that when you have a lot of repetitive intrusive thoughts specially about how you are perceived by other, it can alter the way you see yourself. (Or at least it feels like this in my case) I mean if I had someone telling me the things my mind is telling me every day, probably would be considered bullying or worst haha

Religion OCD
Does anybody else with religion OCD ever feel like no matter how many times you tell yourself that God is watching over you your body just won’t let you feel safe? And does anyone with religion OCD ever feel like because it has to do with religion, it is so much bigger? I’m currently sitting in my bedroom in paralysis because I don’t know what to do with myself in my mind. Can anyone with religion OCD weigh in?

Health Anxiety/OCD
Hello, does anyone else have health anxiety/OCD with physical symptoms? I have had depression and OCD since my sister passed away when I was 16 YO. It has been on and off with flare ups here and there. The last 18 months I have had a lot of trauma in my life and started developing anxiety. With all this trauma developed physical symptoms of tingling in limbs, an increased startle reflex, muscle twitching, brain fog, tremors in hands and neck. I have had a brain MRI and countless other tests and the doctors said its all from stress but I am worried they could be missing something. My compulsions are to have symptoms and then google them and then what I see on the internet really worries me and its an ongoing cycle. Has anyone else experienced this? The Drs think I have a disregulated nervous system from trauma and repeated stress. Can anyone relate?
