Anyone feel like their situation is too ‘rare’

a lot of people relate, situations might be unique for anyone but the solution to that problem is mostly the same

Same

Same honestly. I have trouble breaking stuff like my phones or ripping my clothes. that triggers my OCD.

100%!! I can’t find my ocd theme anywhere online :( makes me feel like my ocd is completely untreatable

I keep hearing/seeing that luckily regardless of the theme, the treatment is the same. I know that doesn't help precisely with the loneliness feeling, but in a way it connects us all. Which is kind of nice to think about, there is a common humanity here

I did. Had an odd combination of compulsions and themes and the way ocd presented itself a few times is something I've rarely seen others struggle with on this app.

At least we all have that in common I suppose, must defo be an OCD thing.

Yeah I’ve like dealt with weird eating disorder stuff in the past that latched onto my ocd I have like intrusive thoughts but thought action fusion So it’s like intrusive thought action fusion sorta haha I feel like I’m eating stuff when I’m not And food used to be my motivation for stuff so now I have this idea unless I eat everything that I’ll fail And I’m like just yeah umm yeah lol don’t know how to explain but it is PARALYZING

Long story short, my comfort for you is: I’m not going to just tell you “your not alone” cause sometimes that just feels invalidating Especially when OCD is super duper personal with how themes present Often times we are trying to navigate a personal hell not quite like anyone else has before But since us OCD people are ALL in some way ALONE we are also in this together. (Not sure if that’s helpful or makes sense lol) I also worry about if I’ll ever get treatment cause I can’t find the words to even explain to my therapist what’s going on
