When I was younger, I would have very, very terrible thoughts of something happening to my parents, or me doing something I didn't mean to do. I would cry myself to sleep some nights just because I couldn't handle these thoughts. Extremely sick, disgusting and terrible thoughts of me doing stuff, and stuff happening to my loved ones. I can't really remember examples, luckily. But they were extremely disturbing.
I would always constantly worry that I was somehow the Anti-Christ, I would constantly ask my mom about stuff relating to him and the book of Revelations because I was terrified. These definitely are not normal thoughts to have.
I was reading that people with OCD have intrusive, unwarranted thoughts, but I thought OCD is about counting and constant checking and stuff, which is true and why are horrible thoughts apart of OCD? Does this sound like OCD to you?
(This is the peak of the iceberg, I would be late to school everyday because I'd check to make sure the door or stove was locked/off. I was a major germaphobe, and now I count and do tons of repetitious stuff. Like my number is 3, 5, and 15. But more 5 and 15, less and less the number 3.)
