I'm 17 years old and was just (somewhat) recently diagnosed with GAD.
I have a thing about checking locks. If I wake up in the middle of the night the first thing I think about is if the door is locked or not. I get nervous thinking about what could happen if the door is left unlocked! I feel an urge to check it, no matter what. My favorite door to check is the one in my grandmother's house that leads to the back porch. It's big and easier to identify if it's locked or not.
On top of this, I have these thoughts of responsibility, sexual immorality, and violence in my head. For example, if I am doing something I am thinking about how RESPONSIBLE I am for doing it, and what my responsibility will be. I have flashing thoughts of sexual immorality that gross me out, but they don't leave me head. I feel as if others found out I think about these things I would be shunned. I also tend to have these thoughts about hitting people or doing something strange. These thoughts cause a strange feeling in back and make me scrunch up my face. They make me SO uncomfortable. Am I displaying symptoms of OCD?
I feel as if I make too many posts here asking about my symptoms, too. Aren't I bothering people? Gosh. I don't know WHAT I am afraid of.
