I see suggest you read facts about it at the NOCD site: https://www.treatmyocd.com/what-is-ocd/info/related-symptoms-conditions/ocd-and-bfrb
@path Thank you for the resources
Podcast episode OCD Stories https://theocdstories.com/tag/compulsive-skin-picking/
i'd recommend looking at the harm ocd tag, but really it's best to explore as many as possible
Yeah, I was thinking that one was the closest to it but just not entirely accurate because of how specific trich is. Thank you though!
@trichster024 - totally understand! if you're looking for a trich specific channel, I know the ocd discord has one https://discord.gg/DCJ5JwY6
@Grenoble Just finished the verification process to join the discord! Thanks!
Another trichster here—just saying hi!
@Trich-ster Hi there! How long have you been a trichster for? Lol
@trichster024 - Ooooh... about 20 years. :)

I know there are a lo of different subtypes but I'm really curious as to which one has affected you the most, please comment down below and feel free to also share where and hoe you believe it has affected your life, I believe it's great for self reflection and just to let it off our chests. For me it's been Inc*st OCD! That shit has been the hardest subtype for me. Not only has it affected my relationship with my siblings by convincing me that I like them (which never used to happen at all before developing a strong case of IOCD) and making me feel weird and ashamed. It has also affected how I see families😭 for example I'll be watching a series or something and there would be siblings in the show and my mind would directly fly to incest and not only for shows but irl as well...I can't imagine going out to see my friends and their families or my own extended family in general because wtf!! I just feel like in my case all the other subtypes are nothing compared to this bad boy, but I know it's not the same for everyone so which one has affected you the most and how? (This is not to bring down the severity of the other subtypes istg, it's just for conversations sake)
Whats perfectionism ocd like and how do you know if you have it?
I would like to raise awareness for an OCD subtype that is almost never talked about and is not included in the official OCD subtypes. This subtype includes obsessions about: 1. Thinking that something is wrong with your brain 2. Being convinced that you have forgotten how to think 3. Being convinced and paranoid that you have lost your inner voice 4. Being extremely afraid that you have lost the ability to feel 5. Being hyperaware of every thought, tracing it back to see how it occurred 6. Being convinced that something is wrong with you when something doesn’t go the way you expected it 7. Thinking that you are not thinking about it in the right way when trying to think your way out of it Compulsions include: 1. Mentally trying to figure it out 2. Trying to prove to your self that nothing is wrong with you 3. Putting your life at a stop until you figure it out 4. Excessive googling, using chat bots, reddit, researching, reading books & trying to find the missing piece of the puzzle I am sure there are other people who relate to this. This subtype isn’t mentioned anywhere and it’s really confusing for those experiencing it. Please, if you feel or think in a similar way like this post and reply in order to raise awareness.
