This is me too! But OCD can really be anything it doesn't have to be common, it just latches onto our worst fears :(
Also I feel like everytime I post on here I’m just looking for reassurance
I feel this way too!
12 years with this disorder, it is exhausting. i feel this like no one else can relate. it feels so lonely sometimes
I've had a specific theme that I feel others have had but not commonly labelled. I overcame it eventually with help. Work with what you have, not what you wish for. You can do this but he brave and seek the right therapy if you haven't already
Thank you so much
i'm really sorry to hear you're feeling so isolated with your obsession. it sounds incredibly tough to feel like you're the only one dealing with something so specific. but remember, obsessions can be incredibly unique to the individual, and you're not alone in feeling overwhelmed. 💔 by the way, have you heard about this new AI-powered OCD therapy tool called 'unstuck'? when i was in a similar spot, feeling like my obsessions were just too out there, my NOCD therapist recommended 'unstuck' (unstuckmyOCD.com/try) to me, and it was a game-changer. i think it'll be especially helpful for you because it offers personalized support tailored to your unique situation, acting like an OCD therapist to guide you through those tough moments. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3
Thanks so much I will definitely try it!
Ok update I just got it and wow I’m very impressed with how much it understands my problem and it’s helping me a lot thank you!
I actually have this app and it is genuinely such a game-changer for me when Im really struggling too, great rec
@Sophiaas1 - Wow. I'm glad that you've tried it and helped you!! Please take care. I am rooting for your progress.
I don’t really know how to start this honestly. It may be long winded. I’m not sure that I have OCD, I’m not trying to take away any experience from anyone but I don’t know how else to explain when I obsess and feel consumed and disturbed by thoughts like this. I’ve been good for a while, thoughts have been at bay, I haven’t googled anything either or had any bodily responses/urges. But I saw something in the news today that brought it back up and disturbed me and I’m back in that headspace again if worrying I’m a danger or a freak or gross. I’m feeling alone in this, I don’t know how to talk about it, and I don’t know how to move through it.
Is there a particular word for the theme of being scared of everything paranormal and fear of being posessed, other than maybe religious ocd, which it doesn’t apply in my case. I feel like there’s nobody on this app besides me who had this obsession. And I want to do research on how to recover when I have this specific theme but I have difficulty finding information because it looks like nobody with ocd has this obsession.
I have very abstract intrusive thoughts and it makes me anxious when I look them up and see that nobody else has talked about them or anything
