hi,, this is my first post here. ive been struggling with my ocd and intrusive thoughts for almost a year now (since october last year), and i wanted to know if anyone else who plays new leaf struggles with it here. im not diagnosed with ocd, but im rlly sure that i have it. the illnesses i have been diagnosed with tho are mdd (major depressive disorder) and panic disorder. back last year, my intrusive thoughts were stupid things like taking my clothes off in public, or screaming cuss words out loud, but now my intrusive thoughts are specifically about hurting other people (espcially my family). my mind just wont stop bothering me with these thoughts, and im rlly afraid that i might hurt them, since i have such strong urges to do so. i play ac to get my mind off of my illnesses, but it doesnt always work. im asking this because i feel rlly alone with it, since i dont have any friends who also are struggling with the same thing i am. let me know if ur struggling too.
anyone else have ocd/intrusive thoughts and also play acnl?

Hi! I have been disgnosed with OCD, but my symptoms do not include wanting to hurt anyone. I also no longer play ACNL. I also have severe anxiety, social anxiety and asperger’s but haven’t been tested yet for that. Playing ACNL was fun, but when I missed a day or so playing or more, I ended up being overwhelmed by all the stuff I had lying around. I ended up taking a hiatus until NH came out which I now. Having mental illnesses has been a struggle for me, but more so looking for and getting a job. My symptoms involve excessive washing my hands, not wanting to have my dad touch me or my stuff since he doesn’t wash his hands when he goes to the bathroom, I can’t do jobs involving cleaning anything since I get nauseous looking at gum, food and drink spills, bugs, dirt.
