After reading a lot of comment I’m starting to feel like ocd is just ocd there are no limits or themes u can be ocd about any thought...and I think I’m right bc u all know people with ocd have an imbalance in the serotonin in the brain or something like that I’m not sure,so if u have imbalance in ur braind doesn’t mean u have to have hocd,pocd,rocd the brain doesn’t control that thing so that’s why,I guess

I think those themes just stick because they are the most universally upsetting but you can have OCD about anything.

OCD is a monster that feeds of anxiety - it’ll try ANYTHING to get you to feel anxious. Thats why themes change so much between person to person! It has to be something which is unimaginably bad for the sufferer. For example, some people suffer religious OCD. They may worry that they are sinners or think blasphemous thoughts. I’m not religious, and it’s not important to me so my OCD will never become that. People suffer from trans OCD, where they fear that they want to change genders. Until recently that wasn’t even possible, and so wouldn’t have been a theme for people until recently. It shows how OCD changes depending on what’s important to the person.

I kind agree, I have lots of obssession, not Just PocD. I think ocd can makes You going into obssessions, intrusive thoughts, ruminating, feeling depressed, guilty and etc

yes, i would also say that ocd uses what is most distressing to the particular person. basically it is the system which ought to show you how your most important 'thing' could be in danger - which makes you take action to prevent this; in ocd it does so in a often brutal and repetitive way.

Once you get into the habit your brain will creat more complex uncertainties and random themes this only is proof and you have to remind yourself the context of the thoughts is not what matter or is relevant. You brain has created an unhealthy habit that you’ve been feeding and reinforcing for quite some time that why themes don’t matter it’s all OCD it’s all a mis firing kind like a malfunction of the brain typically healthy brains don’t function like this. Not saying our brain isn’t healthy it’s just not functioning... how it should. Which is why it’s called OCD. This actual realization makes you realize that no matter how intense or scary or “real” feeling a theme is that... it’s all OCD. Stop feeding it with compulsions and face your fears.

You want to weaken those neurons by constant exposure to your fears.

Sooner or later with healthy new habits being reinforced you can starve the monster that’s OCD. ( which it’s not really a monster it’s just a misfiring in the brain! That you have turned into a monster!)

Yes true

Everything u guys are saying is 100% true.....thanks u
