Mental compulsions are still compulsions, just in our heads

In my understanding, OCD is OCD. We're typically triggered in specific ways which makes us categorize it, but OCD is OCD. Pure o is probably triggered in many ways, or non specific ways. Others will probably add more to the discussion, but that's my non expert understanding. :-)

@ctc1999 It is. I'm always looking for a friend here. No one in my life circle struggles with OCD, so I feel alone and misunderstood.

@star1232 Yes all that can be a trigger, if I understand what you're asking. The triggers connected to hormones seem to freak us out the most because it feels more like a part of us, or in us

@Someone99 I keep seeing posts of people say that hocd triggered them for the first time with a thought not feelings or images or sensations, i just wanted to know that its still an ocd if it triggered us with ( feelings, images, urges … etc)

@star1232 I'm sure it can be. I'm not a doctor or therapist. Can you get ERP therapy?

@star1232 Not fully, making great progress with ERP therapy, that's why the app gives that "conquerer" badge. It's a daily adventure. When soocd hits me, it includes urges and feelings.

Soocd
People with soocd don’t really talk enough about how it makes us forget that even if it were true logically we wouldn’t lose attraction but gain another 😂😂when soocd isn’t hitting my brain actually brains and go like if my ocd was right I could still marry a man as I have always wanted because I would then be bi not gay. Soocd makes us throw our brain out the moment it grips us. I hope your soocd gets better

SO-OCD flare up
i'm a lesbian, i was sure of this for many years, until soocd started messing with me around a month ago. it's hard because lesbians with soocd aren't well documented and it's hard to find similar experiences from others. i hate this, my mind is telling me it's not ocd and that i actually like men. i don't even know if i wouldn't like it. i guess that's accepting uncertainty but i don't want to like men. i want to marry my girlfriend. i don't want to be with a man but my mind doesn't let me feel anything regarding that, neither good nor bad, and i cannot tell if i enjoy that thought or don't like it. it's horrible. i'm so exhausted. i get groinal reactions too which i've never even had before this subtype flared up because im on the asexual spectrum. it's insane. has anyone else had any similar experiences?
