Definitely Real event OCD. I thought maybe it was only me, but I found on a lot of OCD forums from people who had all kinds of OCD themes and types that they find Real event OCD the hardest to deal with. It's because you obsess over something that really happened. It isn't only some disturbing intrusive thought or false memory, it's clear as day it happened and you know it. Your OCD takes that event as a proof you're something you are so afraid to be and tortures you with guilt, but at the same time you can't say to yourself "it's just an intrusive thought" because it's not, it's a real memory. It's extremely hard to recover from Real event OCD.

They ALL suck because it attacks what we love and value the most. For example, imagine a kinder garten teacher suffering from POCD, or an engaged person to the love of their life suffer from HOCD. Doubt is hellish no matter what. However, in my personal experience, nothing has brought me more pain than Real Event OCD since it is about something that actually happened.

i think all ocd themes are horrible! whatever theme you have, its only there because thats what’ll hurt the most. its like a personal hell. ive dealt with a few themes this past year, and have always gone around wishing that i had some other theme that wasnt as “bad”, and actually kind of always wished it would b sexual orientation ocd because i thought sexual orientation doesnt matter to me, i’ll love who i love. but now ive starting having some of those intrusive thoughts too, and its literally just as horrible as the other things! its not that im homophobic or think its a worst case scenario that i’m something else than what i feel i am, its just that constant freaking doubt about yourself. i know im straight and maybe i could be into other things, but my whole life ive been hypersexual and obsessed with dudes, and now im doubting even that! its the whole idea of constantly fighting those thoughts trying to be all “hey i know who i am!! stop trying to comvince me otherwise!” id say its the feeling that doubt about yourself brings you, and youre just not set about anything in your life anymore.

I think each type is! Sometimes Ive thought to myself that I wish I had another theme but when I see posts of other themes I see they are hurting as bad as I do sometimes. Im suffering from ROCD right now and for me it has been hell. You just dont know if these are your true feelings or not, and worse is accepting the fact that they might be. There are days in which this will even make my partner seem as a bad person when in reality he is not or sometimes it is SO convincing that breaking up seems like the only solution but even considering that hurts a lot. So idk I think each type sucks a lot in its own way but maybe I think that because I havent experienced other types of ocd

Okay so In the moment I get intrusive thoughts about children which I hate. I get the gronal responses which I always so many compultions after. My ocd is very bad and I’m showering and changing my bedding around 8 times. Therapists have told me I’m the worse they’ve ever known. That’s how bad my life is atm. I hate this disorder. I want to know if ocd can cause these things as it will help me to fight my compulsions and just except it’s ocd… In the moment the gronal responses are genuinely pleasurable and I struggle to ignore them and stop them, in the moment t I want them even if it was due to a thought of a kid My OCD will tell me I’m aroused I’ll feel aroused then when moving around in my bed it’ll tell me to make my vagina touch my bedding for a feeling while I’m turning over and I purposely do it in the moment… I hate it. After I do so many compilations, it’s not even me it’s like someone else controlling my body When I try to fight my compulsions I think in my mind “I like this anyways” and actually like the thoughts and gronal responses over the children, which then makes me not be able to fight them. For example my ocf was telling me to spray my feet with anti back, but then I tried to fight it and I was thinking to myself “nah l like this one I like this feeling over the kid it’s the real me” like I didn’t even feel stressed from it it’s like I wanted it. Of corse after these I do lots and many compultions Please I just want to know if ocd can do this

Trigger Warning! What type of OCD is this?
I know this is a super weird question, and maybe it’s not an OCD subtype…but maybe there are other people on here that won’t think I’m nuts! 🙃 I am terrified of getting pregnant. I have actually been that way since a young child, and have LOTS of rituals I am working to stop around it. Is there a specific type of OCD that is? Thank you in advance!

What OCD types do I have?
hi everyone!! so idk if anyone will see this, but i guess i have a lot of questions. i got diagnosed with OCD about 2 years ago or so but i’ve had it for as long as i can remember. my obsessions and compulsions root from my worst fears and what i’m most afraid of losing. when i was really young, it started with doing things or else the devil was going to come and get me, because that was my worst fear at that time. i have to count, i usually do things in pairs of 3. i HATE even numbers. only odd numbers. sometimes i spend a lot of time redoing something over and over and over again just until it feels “right.” i have super bad sensory issues. i cut the tags out of everything i own, my nails have to be short or else i will dig them into my skin until i bleed because it just doesn’t feel right. at school i used to be late to class because i would be at my locker turning the combination either 3, 7, 9, 11, or 13 times. it just depended on what felt right. before i would go to bed i would have to sit up and check the door 3 , 7, 9… etc. one time i had to check 27 times before i could go to sleep. i’m actually scared of getting things i want in life because my OCD will hold it against me. “you better do this or else you’ll lose this.” the more happy i am in life, the worse my OCD gets. it prays on my worst fears. if there is even something slightly wrong with my clothes: a tiny thread hanging lose, a bad memory attached, i will never wear it again. there’s one thing im sorta embarrassed to say but it’s one of my worst ones. basically: peeing. at night, i have to continuously go to the bathroom over and over again because i feel like my bladder isn’t completely empty. i will keep telling myself “it’s full, i have to go.” even when i just peed 5 minutes ago. and due to this, it causes a lot of wiping. i have wiped myself raw to the point i bleed a lot. it’s embarrassing, but i can’t stop. it never feels clean enough. my hair is never perfect enough. my clothes are ugly. i think i mostly struggle with perfectionism OCD. but is that it? i also feel like if i don’t do certain things, it will cause something bad to happen to my family or friends. like i have magical control over events. i don’t know. can someone help please?
