Bad Past Causing OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Message Board

Hey I'm relativly new to this part of the board and I have OCDs but mine are more obsessive thoughts.

Last year was probably the worst year of my life, I went to a private school and to shorten it up everyday was torture. So I finally got out and now this year everything is cool and things are back to normal...

But my mind isnt. I have this fear that if I think about 2004 or any kid or teacher from that old school that I'll wake up and and be back there having to deal with all that negative events again. So it causes obsseive thoughts where I let my mind work it out by forcing myself to think of my friends at home. Ive taken a ton of medication and it just doesnt work. I just cant get over this fear.

I should note that there is one drug that puts these thoughts down. Sadly its Cannabis or Marijuanna, and thats illegal. So I try and stay away from that uness Im partying.

Thanks.

It's hard to say if past abuses can lead to OCD. I know for me, most of the things that I do deal with me being safe and having order in my life. I have paranoia really bad so that makes my OCD symptoms 3 times worse then I feel they would be without the paranoia. With the keeping everything in order, I think I get that from my dad somewhat because he's a perfectionist and so am I.
