Scary OCD Symptoms

by Noelle

I just turned 20 years old and I was recently diagnosed with OCD. I do not have any compulsions, it is just the obsessive thoughts. When I first began having the thoughts I panicked and spent two weeks in constant terror wondering what was wrong with me. Once I learned what was going on, the thoughts became less frequent. I notice that they come back when I am tired or stressed. I try to ignore them but sometimes they are so scary that I just cannot handle it. Lately, the thoughts are violent and it makes me scared even though i know that i shouldn't let them scare me :( i need some advice and encouragement!!!!
