Any other women in their mid twenties on here?

@Remz Me too, or rather a bad week. I feel like my themes are always taking turns this week, which is the worst. I usually struggle most with Relationship ocd and sexual orientation ocd

@Remz False memories and pocd together for me

@emnav Yup, these themes have haunted me for the past year

@Anny1005 Sexual orientation started my OCD flare up last year :( I’ve moved past it onto my worst nightmare, pocd!!!

@Remz It’s the worst ones for me… 2 month with the same theme on something I was sure about

@Remz Same here, dealing with POCD

@emnav It scares me so much! I’d rather die than be one

@GM1 Sorry you’re experiencing this hell. At least we aren’t alone!

@Remz Fr, at least we have other people to talk about it with

I’ve had magical thinking and religious scrupulously before, despite not being religious lol!

@Remz How did you find it? And what’s your current theme?

@BoringJohnson Magical thinking was my first ever theme but as I grew older, I grew out of it thankfully but as you know, when one theme goes, another replaces it! Religious scrupolosity followed! It was blasphemous thoughts when going into a church, or even just seeing a church on tv and having to do a little prayer in my head to ‘repent’ and let god know I didn’t mean these thoughts, over and over until it felt just right. It was exhausting. Current theme is POCD, which in my opinion is the worst

@Remz How long have you had OCD? The blasphemous thoughts are the worst!

@BoringJohnson It’s hard to say, I would guess since 8 or 9 years old but it’s always peaks and valleys

@BoringJohnson How long have you had OCD?

@Remz Wow and yeah, understand. I’ve been diagnosed with OCD for almost three years but I believe it started in 2015 on and off. It started out with perfectionism OCD when I was at university.

@BoringJohnson Yeah, I think it developed as a trauma response. Stress also brings on flare ups! What’s your themes been so far?

@Remz @Remz Perfectionist OCD (Nothing was ever good enough) Contamination OCD (Scared of fumes and bleach etc A bit of Incest OCD (Yeah, this one was...) no thanks A bit of Real Event OCD (Things I did when [was younger) Existential OCD (My parents are getting older, where does everyone go etc) And then now the three in one combo meal haha (Harm, Magical thinking and Religious Scrupulosity) <- by far the worst three of them all.

@BoringJohnson Aw man that’s a fair few! It would seem none of us can catch a break

@Remz I know right! OCD likes to switch themes when you’re no longer fazed by something.

@Remz I’m down
