Seeing OCD everywhere
Another thing I’ve realised and wondered if this is true for others, do you start to see aspects of your theme everywhere in things when you didn’t before?

My ocd images/thoughts literally pop up in everything that I find enjoyable, it’s like my brain is like “oh you like this, well im gonna make you think about your ocd every time you do this” lol I think it’s pretty common with OCD

@Punkyboy Yeah it’s the hardest bit I’ve found so far, sometimes gets me thinking the theme is real and then have to pop that bubble before it ruminates into something nasty

Personally at times everything good , bad and indifferent can be tinged with OCD . Example for something good say sports or music I can get wrapped up with details where it becomes obsessive and compulsive. Same with all other categories OCD & GAD can rear its head it really anything if given the opportunity.

@777Q I’m so glad someone suggested my recent mental health problems might be OCD cos I genuinely think I’d have broken down because I now see it in people or even clothing choices and it’s desperate to bust out and get worse

Hard to even read or listen to music anymore because it will find an association!

Do you ever just think about how crazy OCD is? Like I’ve been obsessing over this particular theme for like 5 months now, and it hasn’t come true once. It’s so confusing and crazy how one thought can take over our minds so easily like this.

Back after some time
I’m back after a long time of not posting! My OCD has been immensely under control compared to my worst points. I’ve had a recurring theme that’s been getting worse lately. It has to do with taking in information. Like if I’m watching a show and miss what they say I feel like I have to go back and hear it again. Or if I’m on tik tok and hear a word I’m unfamiliar with, I HAVE to look it up. The thought “it will bother me if I don’t” is the unerlyer It’s a weird theme in that it’s hard for me to tell at times if my curiosity is fueling me or if it’s OCD. It feels like it has just been more constant lately and taking over some of my enjoyment of relaxing viewing/existing. Anyone experience anything like this?

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