Hi everyone,

So recently I’ve been very anxious and emotional over my thoughts. Firstly, I’m starting to obsess over different mental health conditions which are causing me extreme anxiety. Examples of this is, schizophrenia, BPD, Bi Polar, paranoia and I feel like I’m starting to obsess very strong that my OCD is loving it and making me feel like I have got these illnesses. Is this a common OCD issue? Just thought I’d ask. Last night I was talking to my parents about a discussion and my mum said something and I automatically thought “is my mum saying that to annoy me or just to be nasty” it wasn’t even anything remotely nasty at all but it just came in as a thought and then I started thinking of all the times before that I can remember times that I have had weird thoughts like “what if my girlfriends parents don’t like me” I hate it but I don’t get them all the time just when I obsess over it and look it up online and ruminating over it and now my ocd makes me think I have these things? Does this sound common? Or is this something that’s going on? I honestly only feel like this when I have my OCD down days but when I don’t think about it my anxiety goes down by I’m stuck in this rut that I can’t get out of it and when I wake up in the morning I get anxious about having these thoughts. Anyone else?
Thanks
