Hi, this is my first time posting here. I have been under the impression I have OCD for a few years now everything fits and I have done a lot of research and reading up on it. I do have an assessment coming up soon so we will see then. BUT recently my worries have been changing almost regularly, for instance, one day I will fret that I have been caught speeding and I will spend days worrying and googling and thinking of the worse possible things that could happen. Then a few days later I’ll be over it and onto the next thing, for example I’ll be worrying that I’ve left a plug on at home and the house will burn down and my dog will die, I’ll then spend the next few days turning off all plugs before leaving and doing checks. Then a few days later it’s on to something else. I know that all types of OCD are different but the majority of stories I’ve read, the person only worries about one or two things repeatedly whereas mine changes from day to day, week to week.
am I just a worrier in general?
I am going to mention all of this to my doctor in my appointment but wondered if anyone else suffers similarly?
