I’m diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and I have been experiencing symptoms were I’m worried I might have hurt someone or stole something from a shop. I would never do either of those things but my mind keeps making me feel that way.

Yep - it's like I feel the anxiety first and my mind fills in the blanks

It’s so hard isn’t it

I think, but not sure, this is usually a symptom of OCD?

Yes, very much so.

It's part of catastrophising things, which manifests itself in different ways,

It's OCD. Definitely discuss with your gp.

Could be anxiety as part of OCD. I have a lot of thoughts about unintentionally doing something wrong or hurting someone and it's OCD related. If you have a look on the MIND website you'll see that "fear of causing or failing to prevent harm" is a symptom so it's worth going to get this checked out as there is medication that can help :)
