I'm not sure whether this is the beginning/symptoms of OCD but I've been feeling the following lately. I didn't used to feel them before, at least not 3 yrs back:
Whenever I think about certain things, I think in a very circular, complicated way, unable to let these thoughts go. sometimes these thoughts involve sex. Sometimes, they are ruined relationships or mistakes I thought I reasoned to myself and let go off, but suddenly come afresh in my mind like the next second.
Sometimes some thoughts scare me, they are negative thoughts that I have towards people, like even my own family members, when they didn't do anything wrong, or my friends, or even sometimes myself. I'm unable to guard myself against these thoughts and its very frustrating. I can't concentrate on the task that I am doing, like maybe reading a book, because in like the 2nd or 3rd page, my mind will catch on to a phrase/word in the book that will trigger some thought(very vaguely related to it), and it goes on and on, and even though somehow I know I'm supposed to be reading the book, my concentration is gone. The sentences will be in front of me, I will be reading them, but they make no sense whatsoever anymore.
i haven't been having obsessions that show outwardly (does that make sense) ie I dont go about arranging things n stuff...making sure things are right... except for one thing. Whenever I see sharp objects, or sharp edges, I want to feel them to feel all right, or maybe like push them aside or smth. Does that make sense? Otherwise I think it will somehow hurt. This happens sometimes.
what I have noticed though is that the way I talk to people has changed.. I don't exactly know how to express this but... I guess I can't really follow what they say sometimes and how it related to what they previously said...and somehow I say things I didn't know how they got out of my mouth, but sometimes,Ijust feel like I have to tell people things.
Can someone tell me if its like OCD or just anxiety or smth.
