Yup!!! Seemed like the minute I got over my HOCD and felt confident in myself, POCD started. And I literally never would’ve though POCD would get ahold of me but it did unfortunately

Yeah I started on HOCD then POCD then Harm Ocd then back to POCD then health ocd then Suicide ocd now Existential/ Death anxiety Ocd, it means your gettin better and you ain’t worried about it so it hops onto the next one

That’s terrible. This is a new thing for me, just started a few months ago and I’m learning a lot in regards to exposure. But I’m wondering if it ever just kind of fizzles out for good

Not looking for reassurance. But most podcasts and things I’ve listened to didn’t really mention it always latching on to something else. There is something therapeutic about it switching because it makes me realize all the more that it’s all ocd. Especially when it’s over something super ridiculous

@mattylee Yes it can ,it goes away but you can’t react badly to any negative thought that’s how it gets you

It is very common for OCD to change themes. OCD wants to hold on at all costs.

Yeah it feels like it’s changing pretty quick which is what threw me off.

Journey to recovery…
To the people who are in therapy and on their recovery journey when the ocd is tending to die down a bit is it normal for the ocd to keep switching themes until it fully dissipates? Has anyone experienced this?

Question
Why is it that you beat one OCD think, but another OCD thing comes up related to it, but the same theme?

OCD during Healing
Does anyone who has gotten better/healed with OCD ever experience that their thoughts and urges get more difficult as you get better. I feel like I am getting better at handling certain things but I feel like now newer themes and such get more difficult as I progress. I was curious if this is kind of the process to getting better. Weirdly, like it makes sense the closer you are to getting better thoughts become worst and stronger since you are doing better. Just need to keep on pushing and doing what I have been. Let me know, would love to hear your guys thoughts and feedback
