Yes, I think a lot of us with ocd, phobias, or anxiety otherwise do this. I have suicidal ocd and often think how other forms might be easier. Or how I wish I were afraid of airplanes, because I could avoid them and just not fly. I was actually talking to my NOCD therapist today about this. But I don’t think the theme matters much, because you don’t know how hard something is until you’ve experienced it. You don’t know how often triggers come up until they’re your triggers. I think sometimes the grass can seem greener but I’m sure it isn’t. I also feel oddly grateful sometimes for what I go through, because there are forms I would never want to deal with.

I’ve had almost every theme and they all are painful but pocd is unbearable.. I’ve never experienced pain quite like this in my entire life. You feel betrayed by your own body.

This makes me so sad to hear for you because I know how CONFUSING and PAINFUL it is. Just remember that you are allowed to separate thoughts that you think and unwelcome thoughts that you cannot stop. POCD is like a freight train coming into the station with no brakes while you are standing on the tracks trying to stop it with your bare hands

OCD tends to latch on to whatever you would consider the most painful , so really any OCD theme. But yes, POCD sucks ass.

TW: pedocd I agree that they are all probably the same level of difficulty but I definitely hear you with some of them being WAYYYY less acceptable or palletable. People think it’s really cute that I have to eat my food in a certain order, they definitely do not think it’s cute that I’m crying in a mall bathroom because of intrusive images of graphic child porn running through my head, that’s a really really tough one to explain to even your closest support system.

“No, I am not attracted to children. I just graphically obsess over the nature of being attracted to children for large quantities of my day in full distress” yeah you are not winning with the average joe there 😓

ocd is like the clown from "IT", it shapes itself into your worst fear so anyone can see their fear as the worst. It really sucks.

I hate when you think you're over it..
For a while I've been struggling more with the contamination side of OCD, but before that, for a long time, it was POCD and things like thinking I'm a bad person. It was debilitating. And I moved on from it somehow, just left it behind. Until today, when even a small thing hit me with it again. It's not as bad as it might have been a year or two ago, but it just took me back to the awful pain of thinking I'm a creep. Even now, I'm convincing myself that it's real and not OCD. And it hurts so much that I can't tell. I know the pain each subtype brings isn't even comparable, but POCD and thoughts relating to it are by far the worst thing I've experienced. I honestly think I would rather wash my hands raw than go through POCD to the extent I used to. I would do anything to live with neither. Sorry this was just a bit of a vent, but I think it's important to talk about this kind of thing to people who understand. Whatever subtype you're going through, I'm sending you strength and comfort to get through it 💜💜.

anyone else?
maybe a therapist can respond or anyone who relates and experiences this also?? im trying to make sense . ever since ocd started, specifically harm ocd and pocd, sexual themes ocd in general, my brain makes everything sexual or gross. or just makes inappropriate connections with quite literally anything. or any person I see I wonder if they are a p, or if they are “like me”, because im fully convinced at times that im some weird or bad person, and then when i see actual criminals etc i cant help but compare myself to them it’s so weird?????? or sometimes I feel like i cant judge a p because im no different than them?? idk its so weird. rn writing this ik im not a p like what im just struggling with really bad ocd and trauma I hope :( It’s just my brain distorts everything and then it makes me feel worse, like “ur an actual p or pervert because see??? ur brain is sexualizing everything?” hopefully this makes sense

Feeling “not ocd enough”
Does anyone struggle with feeling like their ocd issues are not ocd enough compared to other peoples ocd? Is this an ocd thought itself lol
