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

Compulsion
I just realized that I have this compulsion where i search ocd forums up and down, looking for someone describing the exact scenario/event that im obsessing over right now. Otherwise itās like i cant convince myself that it really is ocd. Its so stupid because even if I find what I am looking for, I know it is only giving me temporary relief. I was just about to post a description of the theme/scenario here, but I am proud that I stopped myself āļø

Donāt know what to do anymore
Hi, I donāt know what to do anymore Pocd kills me I had many themes before but this theme is the hardest for me. Iām tired. Iām on therapy and meds but I barely do erp . I donāt have a reason I just donāt want to do it but today I will because I have to. Iām taking meds and they help with the anxiety for sure. But the obsessive part is still here . Iām almost 2 months on it (40 mg on Prozac) but Iām still super obsessed like I can have thoughts 24/7 every second of the day and not leave me alone. I have experienced a thought right now for a month + . Itās a thought to do compulsion/urge. My therapist says to let go and gives me tips how to she also tell me to do more erp. But I have this thought to do compulsion for more then month. Im scared what if I donāt have ocd the thought is 24/7. Do you think I should switch meds im so tired.

Anyone please?
Okay so Iāve dealt with harm OCD from the beginning. Started off with harming my kids, going to jail and then harming myself. The harm to myself stuck around for a long time. Then it went away and other themes picked up but it keeps coming back. This is like the third time itās come back and every single time it comes back it feels worse. It feels like this is the time something is going to happen. Has anyone ever dealt with this? With old themes constantly coming back and feeling more real? Please any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks
