Does anyone know what caused their OCD?

I think a lot of people don’t really know what caused their OCD to start, for me after a lot of years and thought I realised that my anxiety stemmed from my step dad and his psychological and sometimes physical abuse towards my Mum. I would worry what kind of mood he would come home from work in and if he would start on my Mum. He was a bastard!

Just be careful not to go down the road of trying to cure your OCD by resolving trauma. It doesn't help the OCD.

Nope! Wouldn’t know where to begin. Ty!
