Wow, 5, @Daisydreamer ...I can't remember back that far, but hats off to you for coping with that at age 5.

@Clawde could you please clarify what you mean?

Hi @Clawde I'm not sure I understood what you meant- could you explain a little more? Smiley Happy

The feeling that you have always been somewhat anxious since early on is something I can relate to myself. It must have been hard for you.

Sorry I thought normally most people keep checking everything a lot, like you said .?

@Former-Member It sounds like @ARCVic's story really resonates with you 💙

@ARCVic I'm sorry to read of your childhood trauma and how it led to you developing OCD.

 

My OCD is also as a result of extreme trauma.

Yes, the feeling of anxiety from childhood trauma speaks to my own experience.
