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

How did your so-ocd feel when it started?
For me it was a weird intrusive thought and after that I slowly started developing anxiety and I felt a weird thing like I was losing my attraction to girls. Then I woke up one day in complete panic cuz it felt like I had lost feelings for girls suddenly and I started searching online how to know if you’re gay if sexuality changes suddenly and I took some gay tests or sexuality tests online. Chat gpt was a big thing back then too. That was before therapy and before I knew what ocd is.Can anyone relate?

Where did your OCD come from?
So I have been trying to work out over the past 5 years where my OCD come from and have began to realise that ruminating on where it comes from is actually a compulsion in itself. I believe mine come from having a low self esteem and a lot of stress in my life at that time. I then attended talking therapy to try and understand my feelings and intrusive thoughts and all this did was fuel the OCD further because trying to assign meaning to the thoughts is actually the opposite of what we should do. Does anyone else feel like they know what triggered there OCD?

OCD
I’ve been triggered so bad this week I’ve had bad anxiety and feel depression coming on. Last night I had a thought oh let’s plan it and I immediately thought why would I think that and started crying bad. I’ve had these thoughts for 7 months I really don’t know why I’m having these thoughts, if I knew I would work on it. Like people say has something happened in your life for you to have these thoughts and nothing has happened, it all started off from what if thoughts , like “what if I’m a psycho” because I saw this fb post saying introverts are more likely to become psychopaths and it all spiralled from there I started getting thoughts about harm towards others and myself. What do you think guys should I treat it like ocd or do you think there’s something seriously wrong with me.
