OP here [cw for brain problems]

Well, if it helps to describe my own experience a little more, I would be glad to, anon.

I have both OCD and GAD, and it is not always clear where one ends and the other begins... but one of my biggest and worst symptoms is fixating on (which is the phrase I wish I had used in the secret instead of "worrying about", actually) my perceived moral purity or lack thereof. If I even VERY SLIGHTLY wrong someone, or think I have wronged them, I spiral into "I am cruel, I am thoughtless, I am poison, I am wretched, I should be punished" very readily, and it can last for hours, if not days or even weeks, feeling diseased and rotten and afraid of myself. Unfortunately, I am also prone to intrusive thoughts that mainly revolve around either deliberately or accidentally harming innocent beings, and those two symptoms do not mix well.

Thankfully, I have just begun a new medication and will be going to therapy on a regular basis, so I am optimistic about getting some peace -- and if your worry rules your life, anon, then whether it springs from OCD or not, you deserve to have a peaceful life and brain too. Please do talk to your doctor if you can!

I'm happy for you that you're trying the new meds/therapy, and I really hope they work for you! <3
