Hello there! My names james and i have had OCD for about 6 years now. It started with Intrusive thoughts (Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing anxiety, or by a combination of such thoughts (obsessions) and behaviors (compulsions). It started with fear of my sexuality, beeing straight an knowing so for 20 years of my life and then getting my head or these intrusive thoughts saying otherwise (like i was gay). The whole basis of this OCD is Fear of something like the end of the world or questioning you religion or sexuality. To the point though, that was just a quick brief on OCD and intrusive thoughts and how they can effect certain people. Ive know about 2012 for a good few years, before i got OCD i never really gave it a second thought, now the though its constantly there an the fear is there regardless of what may be on this site or simular sites. I know what its like for all the people out there who have a fear of 2012 (Anxiety aswell, i must say the anxiety is the WORST part of any fear, way more than thoughts from my experience). What i do to try an calm these fears or to control more so that anything is it to try an keep busy, like working on playing a game or going out with friends. I find when you are left alone or your on your own fears manifest to a point where you cant control them. For people with OCD even reading this website may not get rid of there anxiety or fear of 2012 because of the way the brain works and the general concept of OCD and intrusive thoughts, i admit its hard for me on a day to day basis to control anything that i think. One thing i have found that does help though is speaking to people with the same fears and writing in a Diary (or for you guys out there who don't like admit you keep one! A Journal :D). Point to the topic though ive read a lot of stories on the internet and on here about how it has effected certain people but i didnt come across a topic for the people with OCD that have this fear of 2012 an no matter how hard they try to conquer it or how much they read it wont go away, so what i want is to start a topic that hopefully will help these people, people like me. Come and talk about your fear your OCD and it would be nice to hear from people who even have the fear of 2012 as well. Everyone is welcome. Thank you for reading.
