Mine I have had my entire life to varying degrees. But this extreme time seems to have been triggered by my current living situation and maybe another life event. So I’m hoping that me moving will help a lot

I had it when I was younger but it wasn’t horrible. Then I was called in for jury duty for 3 days straight at the same court house my abuser was found guilty at, in the same exact city we both lived in when he abused me as a child. AND THEN right after, because I was so stressed, I got on the wrong bus to go to school. It was headed into DC or something crazy like that and that really freaked me out. That’s when my POCD popped up.

With me I was going through a lot, I was alone didn't leave the house away from my mum for 6 months (I was in another country with my dad where his family is from) and whilst we were there my grandmother passed away and I was so close to get so the only reason I left the house was when I visited her in the hospital. It's the first time someone close to me passed away as well. So it was definitely the worst time in my life

I had a dream that I had a girlfriend and that triggered my HOCD even though I had it when I was 11 when somebody told me I’d become a lesbian if I went to a girls’ school. At the time I didn’t know it was OCD and it passed and I got it again after a while

for those with SO-OCD, how did your subtype come about? for me it was just one day lying in bed and irrationally thinking that since I wasn’t interested in hooking up with my male “friend” that I was gay and that I was hiding the fact from myself all these years. Im just not too familiar with how OCD manifests in people. like is it sudden or?

Has anyone started having OCD symptoms this way?
For me I've been an anxious person my whole life but I quite literally remember the day this started. Something just clicked in my head and I've been stuck obsessing over the same thing for years. I know a lot of people say for them they had OCD happen from a young age and others got it later like me but I'm wondering if it was a spontaneous change for you like it was for me or was it some kinda slow progression into obsessions?
