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!

Are really odd coincidences common in FM/ocd?
Like things that feel like ‘evidence’ and clues…. It’s like I can’t let these things go. I’m not talking about ‘signs from the universe’ , I mean actual real life things your ocd is using against you. Not reassurance seeking.

Triggered ?
Does anyone else read other peoples post and think it’s for them or about them and their situation and start to think that’s what they are going through themselves ? Or like I’m blaming ocd but it’s my brain actually telling that’s how I actually feel?

Can anyone else relate to this?
my OCD is doing what it does best and it’s randomly selecting themes. Once I’m not scared or react to one it bounces to another. And then i temporarily forget all of my coping skills for that theme. Rn it’s fixating on the time I had a panic attack and it’s trying to make me have one again
