Hi, I am 22 and I have been diagnosed with OCD since I was 17. I have always been a private person. Recently I developed a crush on someone that I work with. He is really nice but he is nice to everyone. Anyway, I told someone else that I work with that I like him. Then as soon as I did I denied it because I started to panic. I got sick at my stomach and almost had full blown anxiety attack. So I just kept lying and saying that I didn't have crush on him. I don't know why I do that, I don't know what I'm afraid of I know that person would never say anything. I always freak out and start lying about this type of thing. Why do I do that? Is it part of OCD? Or something else? What cause this anxiety???

Please, any advice would be great, it's driving me crazy... thanks
 
nausia and panicky feeling are actually part of the "really liking someone alot" phase. At least i hear it an awful lot and I know i went thru it. Grant it, I have panic attacks myself.....but I have always heard stories like yours. I would try not to worry too much about the "feelings" and just try and relax and hope that sometime the guy shows you some sign that he has the same feelings for you. But, for sure telling the co-workers that you "dont" like him....well, if he hears that he might give up on any feelings he might have for you. Maybe you should just bite the bullit and talk to him about it.....or ask him to coffee before work or something. :)
I know its easier said than done. :)
Good Luck!
