Does switching from one theme...
Does switching from one theme to another is also a compulsion to get rid of the previous theme and then we actually end up in the loop of other themes? š

Absolutely; I felt as though once I conquered one theme, my brain would introduce another that seemed much āscarierā in comparison! For example I went from intrusive thoughts about my relationship to unwanted sexual thoughts to intrusive suicidal thoughts etc.

Yeah this is happening with me right now although the themes are different from yours and the most disturbing for me is magical thinking

I think so! When I am struggling with ROCD I am like āwow this other theme seems less painful I wish I was dealing with that insteadā and then when I deal with the other theme I get the same thought! Or sometimes when I see someone post about other themes I think āthat theme seems less anxiety inducing than mine why canāt I worry about that insteadā

Is this common?
Iāve had the same themes of ocd on and off for years. I have a new theme iāve never had before now. Has that happened to anyone else?

OCD switching between two specific themes
I was just wondering can OCD switch between two specific themes. Recently my theme had changed from false memories (reassurance) to obsessing over news(Russia and the potential draft) and now it has switched back to my original theme while the new one is still subtext in my mind. Is this common and does anyone have any advice (Iām seeking out NHS talk therapies as donāt have the money for anything else)

Themes changing several times a day?
Does anyone ever experience their OCD themes shifting extremely quickly? This has been going on for the past few months. I keep flicking through health concern, contamination, psychosis and sexual orientation.
