People with ocd,do you have something else linked to your ocd experience that when a feeling remind you of that you get symptoms of ptsd?

TW! quick mention of a suicidal thought

Hi! I am using the term ptsd VERY lightly here.I know it's a severe medical condition on its own (sending courage and respect to everyone who has it!!),but its the only word I can use to explane my weird train of thought for everyone ,since we dont know eacother personally.

When i had severe ocd , it caused me bowel problems.Now when i have bowel problems for example food poiosoning or a food trigered my ibs,i get panic and anxiety attacks and i am very distraught,because i feel like i am taken back to my days with severe ocd.Then i cant talk ,i am shaking and crying uncontrollably,i feel like i have to e n d m e because its the only way to escape this flashback and this feeling...etc, wich remind me of symptoms of ptsd..So do you all feel that? And if you do,remember you are not alone and it will get better♡
