Okay so basically I never grew up having anxiety or ocd . So I got an ocd theme around 17 and I'm 18 now . I had 3 ocd themes in two years . I researched and some said ocd is based on genes environment and parents . Well neither of my parents have ocd. I moved when I got ocd and I kinda listened to my mom crazy stories like telling me don't drink after people you might get blah blah blah . Sooo could this be a phase for me since I didn't grow up with ocd cause o figured my life can go back to the way it was I never had an intrusive thought ever before until now . I figured if I didn't grow up with it then it hasn't always been there it just developed itself . I can't accept the fact that if I have ocd I will have to always try to Control it that's is not life always having to worry. I don't like that fact is a mental illness . Like so what do you guys think ? Cause it makes me cry everytime I think have to see a therapist take medication just to be normal when I was before , I'm not into the whole let's embrace ocd we are just over thinkers
