I know I have OCD traits, but no diagnosis of OCD.

When I was a child I used to have to pray to God for certain things to make sure nothing bad would happen. I had to pray my family would be okay and none of us would get ill etc.

I get very obsessional thoughts that spiral into huge anxieties over things that would probably never even happen. Sometimes I get scared I'll turn into a paedophile and I obsess over it and panic.

I get a lot of anxiety over raw meat and sometimes when someone's cooked me something like chicken I get it into my head that it's 'bad' so I can't eat it. I had to go home from my boyfriend's the other week because he ate chicken and I convinced myself he'd get food poisoning in the night. He was totally fine.

I also will get thoughts like "I have to touch this or I'll get ill" or "I need to do x before y happens or I'll get ill" which keep popping into my head.

Look up 'pure O' OCD it fits me totally!

I once had such bad anxiety thoughts in my head that it sounded like voices and I got really distressed. My psych said it was anxiety/OCD type thinking, but that was horrible.

	Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different… you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
