I’d give anything to have symmetry OCD or something else instead of SOOCD. I understand other obsessions are also painful, but SOOCD makes it so that I can’t do anything. If I had something else, I could tell people about my obsessions and at least live a real life, get married and have kids.

I feel the same way sometimes. I try not to invalidate other people’s experiences though because they present there own challenges as well. I’m sorry you’re struggling. We will get through this!!

It feel impossible to live a “normal” life with SOOCD. I feel like I’ll never be able to date or marry or have a family like I want. And the embarrassment and not talking about it because no one will understand :( I truly understand the struggle - please hang in there!!

@aj.ocd I know it is so difficult and I feel like I don’t even know who I am anymore :(

@aj.ocd I hope we can all heal from this in 2022

Me too :(

If it were up to me I wouldn’t have ocd at all 😔but I get what you mean. Having another theme beside soocd or rocd would let me at least be confident in my love and attraction to my beautiful boyfriend. But I know to everyone their theme is just as terrifying and scary so it wouldn’t make a difference
