Anyone feel like their situation is too ‘rare’
I sometimes worry my situation is too uncommon to be OCD and can’t find many people to relate too with similar situations. Anyone else?

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

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.

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

How does your perfectionism OCD manifest?
I haven't been able to read about experiences similar to mine when it comes to my perfectionism OCD so I was wondering if anyone had any "uncommon" experiences.

Unsure if OCD sometimes
I was diagnosed with OCD around the age of 6, subtype- contamination primarily. It calmed down as I got older and I assumed it had gone away, but also didn’t realize it can show up in other ways, and it still had been effecting me which I know now. I’m not 31 and I’ve been in therapy for a year and it’s helped a lot, although I sometimes get thoughts that what if some of the stuff I’m dealing with isn’t ocd and I’m exaggerating. I feel like thoughts will feel sticky and I’ll do certain compulsions but then the thought eventually vanishes if I do it a few times which makes me think maybe it’s not OCD since other people/friends I know would probably do the exact same thing. Not sure if I’m making sense, but I guess my question is if that thought comes up with anyone else? Just being unsure if something you’re doing actually is ocd or not.
