I have GAD but does this mean it's OCD???

Postby AverOblivious » Sat Sep 14, 2013 1:09 pm

The thing is I noticed while filling out these papers on behaviour that my psychologist sent me, I was doing fine and tackling all these deep seated GAD catastrophizing thoughts I've had. Then I came to one thought that has led to a lot of self -esteem. It's a thought that if I keep my head out of the water in the shower, that i will soon notice that a ghost will scare me, etc. But the thing is, the ghost would be a sign that 'he' (a higher demon, etc) hates me, etc.

This is a serious message. And no this is not fake, or spam. :D i really need an answer cause it's freaking me out now that i've noticed pretty much all the time i've been living out of this fantasy that if I don't accept the 'him' he will act against me. which he is doing now that i've validated or accepted that this is the issue, before i was living in compliance with 'him' and doing all these compulsive things like checking the mirror while washing my face in fear that my face has changed or if someone has replaced me. and unacceptance leads to equally terrifying thoughts, because it's like this guy is out to get me now.

so is this OCD? because my psychologist may have overlooked this stuff as she initially thought it was more about compulsions like counting or measuring lines on the tiles that didn't initially get in the way of my life.

but now it's like every noise i hear is the demon or the ghost pondering their actions to kill and destroy me...

help..
