All anxiety disorders and OCD are associated with intolerance of uncertainty, meaning that those who experience anxiety disorders and OCD are more prone to doubting thinking than those without the disorders.

You are not your disorder. Untreated or unmanaged anxiety, OCD, and mood disorders can make you act in ways that are not consistent with your values. Your symptoms show up differently based on your biological vulnerabilities and your social conditioning.

Knowing your values can be one of your best defenses against anxiety, OCD, and depression.

No matter how anxious you feel, you can get a hint at what you value by the content of your anxiety. Oftentimes, people value the opposite of what they fear.
