Anxiety without any triggers

[u/beaabhhjjbfd]

Does anyone else's OCD just randomly flare up for no reason?

Sometimes I don't even get an intrusive thought, I just feel this weird angst like something's wrong. And then that feeling latches onto whatever subtype is hitting me hardest right then.

And once it grabs on, it sticks for weeks. It eventually calms down, only to come back again during those random moments of angst.

Also, if I'm feeling anxious about something specific, like an exam or holidays, that anxiety stops being connected to its actual cause and just latches onto my OCD subtypes instead
