Can SOOCD start from a feeling of false attraction? Feeling like I’m the only one whose started this way making me think I’m in denial :( another tough day of rumination!
I just want to tell you that it gets better!I suffered from HOCD and I got better after like 4 years but it was worth it!Just try to accept the thoughts, accept that it might be true and you’ll see!Now I am free (even though now I struggle with another subtype) but this one is all clear!Wishing you luck
I think it can…Mine started when I was younger, i can’t remember exactly what triggered it but i was already suffering with OCD in other forms, my SOOCD came back a couple of months ago as my OCD came back a few months prior to this but it was harm ocd and other forms. I then seen Brittany Spaers on my phone and got a thought ‘i think shes fit’ which totally made my anxiety through the roof and I was very discusted and then it all of a sudden hit me I used to suffer with this type of OCD and all the memories and thoughts of my past SOOCD came back
@Sandyforest76 My story is pretty similar! This is my first time experiencing SOOCD though. A girl I follow on social media triggered mine. Her name is Alix Earle and I followed her for a couple of years before I was randomly triggered by her video one day and since then have been battling
@LV4523 Honestly my ocd tried to tell me the same thing.. “it started again with a false attraction thought so it must be true”. So many people will have these intrusive thoughts; my therapist actually went through some intrusive thoughts that Non OCD sufferers get and honestly it shocked me how high the percentages were/ what the thoughts were . Just shows that everyone gets these but non OCD sufferers do not put any meaning onto them or get distressed over them. They may think oh why did i get that but they will not obsess over it like we do
