I'm not sure if these thoughts are due to my OCD, I haven't really gotten to that in my therapy. Right now we're focusing on my grief and regular anxiety. I was curious if anyone with experience in OCD could tell me if they're a symptom or something entirely different?
I have this intrusive thought of paper cuts. It started probably a week after Megan died, I don't even think I got one. It happens at least a few times, it's worse if I'm near paper, but it happens even when I'm no where near any paper. I keep getting these thoughts of the paper slicing through my finger and the feeling of it. I'll get extremely anxious about it and start shuddering. It'll come at any time of day and it's extremely hard to get the thought out of my head. It gets into my head and the anxiety builds and I repeat the thought over and over and can't think of anything else.
Is this something related to my OCD or am I just being kind of a weirdo?
