What scares you the most about having ocd?
For me its feeling as if i could loose it at anytime, like my mind would fracture or something, and i would be lost, stuck in a mental institute somewhere.
Having fears is the biggest part of ocd, so i thought if we talked about it we could gain strength from eachother, and work towards not being afraid and always stuck in a cycle of what ifs.

i fear the loss of cotrol if my ocd goes way. I had control taken from me at a young age and this is how i control my life. im scared to let it go. Control means a lot to me. but only control over myself. i hate the thought of controling others.

I am scared that one day I will be so crazy that my family won't want anything to do with me. If I couldn't be with my family, my husband, I would want to die.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
