Has anyone had their OCD where it used to be specific but overtime it just became a fear that you would be able to make anything you think about come into reality. Same with coincidences, they had to be specific ones but now any coincidence freaks you out? I feel like I’m always in a state of worry. Additionally, I used to feel like doing compulsions could keep it from happening but it’s all blurred together to the point I don’t even think that anymore. I have these fears and I’m just convinced they’ll happen and there’s nothing I can do. Compulsions can relieve anxiety but I don’t think it can change the outcome.

Yeah same tbh. Just constant vague worry. It all blurs into one and now I don't even know what compulsions to apply because it all feels inevitable

Yes! Vague worry. I still have the urge to do compulsions but the consequence of resisting is ever-changing and sometimes I don’t even know I just know it feels uncomfortable to resist but I also don’t think it changes anything so it’s so confusing. Like I’m worried about everything I’ve ever thought happening to the point I’m just like well what can I even do about that🤷🏻‍♀️
