Does anybody else look at someone else’s profile here, see the ocd themes they struggle with, and wish that they had those issues i stead of the ones they’re dealing with? I don’t wish ocd on anyone and from me that’s a lot cause I’ve wished some pretty bad shit on people. But I’m just saying I feel like there are some ocd themes that are much worse then others. I have SOOCD and an ROCD equivalent (don’t ask) but what I think is THEE worst OCD? POCD. That shit must be horrible and I’m so sorry for anyone struggling with it

Every OCD is very uncool.

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.

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.

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.
