Situations that can cause OCD are different for everyone.

I have found that with my experience with OCD there were a number of situations that had caused OCD.

The first was the thought factor. I could be watching the news on the TV and start to worry and obsess about a crime that was committed. I would worry about committing a similar crime and the scarier this thought became (knowing I did not want to commit this crime) the worst the obsession will get which would then end up with an Anxiety attack. I was never going to commit such a crime in the first place but it was the space I was in during this period of time with OCD.

The second for me was the physical factor. I could be having a shower and when I was finished drying myself I would think then obsess if I have washed myself properly then unless I hoped back into the shower I would encounter an Anxiety attack. This was easier to manage because to a point you were in control of the anxiety attacks. If you needed to hop back into the shower to avoid an attack you would do that. Another was washing of the hands and again the amount of washing was to avoid an Anxiety attack. These were patterns that had occurred but needed to be completed to avoid the feelings of Anxiety attacks.

The third was the controlling factor. This is around moving and doing things such as driving a car or going outside. I was fortunate I did not encounter this but the experience would be the same. If a person has OCD issues are germs then this obsessive and compulsive thought can be relayed to outside and the amount of germs there is outside hence it would eventually stop them from leaving the house. Once an attempt was to leave was made then the end result would be an anxiety attack.

Situations that can cause OCD can vary for different people. Anxiety attacks in most situations are the end result of OCD and they are avoided by many people at all cost. This would then mean that certain things will not be done to avoid this such as not going outside or not driving a car.
