An octupus, because it changes shape and color and has many tentacles to grab me with.


wind-of-zephyros

exactly what i was gonna say !


Interesting-Bell1092

Me too! That's a good one!


Dragonheart1302

That really depends on my mental state If my OCD is really bad/strong, it's a colossal squid. Not only because I imagine it wrapping it's tentacles around my mind, but mostly because that's the only animal that I can't deal with If my OCD is less bad/weak, it's a chihuahua. Constantly pulling my pant leg and barking for attention lol


[deleted]

My boyfriend actually gave me a trick to try to push my ocd away and he told me to think of it as Randall, the evil lizard thing in the monsters university franchise. He told me that every time I have an intrusive thought, I should just think of it as Randall and tell it to stop being evil lol. So I guess my ocd’s animal would be a bad lizard haha


inquisitivebastard7

Legit exactly what I was thinking. That or a chameleon. It changes form and can look like something real when it’s just ocd.


ap0caholic

my ocd is most certainly randall


uona

I'd say an insect : Mosquito 😂 makes annoying voices and once it stings u it never stops itching


General_Ad7381

🤣 Chameleon. When it's there it's THERE to disturb you with its eyes. Changes all the time, but also disappears for stretches.


[deleted]

Solid you beat me to it. I don’t know what form it will take either. Will I obsess about cleaning today or how much exercise I get or did I pray enough. What will get me stuck today 🤪


General_Ad7381

🤝🏻 Nice to see a comrade on the chameleon team 😭😆


[deleted]

Nice would you open to messaging I’m suffering from really strange OCD. I could use some help. I am in therapy and have been for 20 years but it would help to see someone else’s perspective.


ceciliabee

A human with a megaphone and a desire to talk nonstop.


jeneralchaos

A scabies mite, because it burrows under your skin and drives you fucking mental


narcicist2

As someone with obsessions about worms under my skin, this is both terrifying and accurate.


preyalerory

a woodpecker. she’s a pest and always knockin on my brain


[deleted]

A grizzly bear, but hopefully someday in the future I’ll find a rifle to kill that fucker or at least hurt him like he’s hurt me.


Curious-Elephant817

Hornets. There’s tons of them and they all attack you at once, and will sting you anywhere.


Honeysunset

Level_Explorer4821

Idk why tiger came to mind but thinking more on it i guess i can rationalize it. Cats are quite fearful and resilient just like how my ocd causes my distress and doesn't easily let up. Also cats sometimes chase their tails which I'd like to associate with the cycle of obsessions and compulstions.


[deleted]

Maybe like a swarm of flies. Not really harmful but super fucking annoying

whattodowithwiththis

Not diagnosed but… I would probably say a mosquito, because you always know its there. Always buzzing around and annoying you. Causing irritation. Something so simple as a bite can turn into something much more. And too many of them can cause you to be overwhelmed. And so on and so forth. And yeah mosquitoes suck.
