Can life be anxiety inducing and lead to ocd?

[elizaui18Participant]

Can life be so anxiety inducing, so that it leads you to develop ocd? I think It did that to me because I’m always so anxious about the future. I think I’ve had several ocd episodes and the last two were the worst. I was suffering from anxiety about my parents, because they expected me to care for them forever. Too much, too much pressure has been put on me. Can that lead to ocd?
