anxiety, scary thoughts and fear of ocd

by Amy
(USA)

Thank you for your website, it helped me understand that scary intrusive thoughts really are just that and that I can learn to accept them and hopefully not fear them anymore.

However, I read that they are perceived as ocd, and now I have a fear that I will develop ocd in the classic sense. I'm very aware of every move I make because I'm afraid I'll develop it.

I should mention that a while back I feared that i'll develop depression and I freaked out when I got sad. my therapist calmed me down and I now know that I'm not close to being depressed.
