I think I always had a predisposition but it got worse when my parents watched horror movies with me as a child. My sister who is 2 and a half years older loved horror movies so they became kind of a normal family watch thing because my parents thought her aloof reaction when she was 11-13 was normal and my emotional reaction when I was 9-11 and fear was not normal. The movies that most disturbed me was black swan ( psycho thriller) and psycho from Hitchcock. Nowadays I use horror movies as an exposure method for my hocd for example I watched bates motel multiple times when my ocd was really bad and it helped
I'm learning it can be hereditary, environmental toxins, infections and I forgot the other. My mom had mental illness and I think I got most of it from her. I also have depression (learned at age 9 my mom died when I was 2 due to coping with alcohol, so my whole world crumbled around me), anxiety, borderline personality disorder from abuse and trauma because of my mental illness from my parents, ADHD, PTSD, insomnia and now fibromyalgia because of the trauma as well...I know my stepmom would come home and if the house wasnt perfectly clean, she would make the rest of the day horrible..so I have a cleaning OCD thing as well as a few others but it's the main one.
