Stress induced OCD is the worst because it kicks off a cycle Total rant here but i thought for the most part I had my OCD under control despite being under a lot of stress in the past few months after I moved out of my Mom's place (which helped me significantly) no more intrusive thoughts dreams, lots of thoughts occassionally but generally I could handle it but I'm planning a big trip with my girlfriend and the thoughts are horrible. 

Lots of violent intrusive thoughts, a lot of horrible vivid intrusive thoughts, I even started slowly dipping into my compulsions (researching and googling) for the first time in months even though I've been able to resist up until this point. OCD really sucks because then it just makes me more stressed which in turn makes me more OCD.

Just why???
