How it started ?
I am curious, how your OCD started and how you doubted it was OCD? (It can be any time of OCD)

I was born with OCD from genetics, so it’s always been there.

I had OCD as a child but never got proper treatment for it. It wasn’t until earlier this year, I smoked weed on a balcony and was immediately triggered after receiving intrusive thoughts about jumping over while being high. It literally stuck in my brain and I’ve been going through a flare up now for three months. I didn’t think it could ever get this bad but medication and ERP has been helping and I knew if it didn’t happen now it would happen sometime.

I was just wondering, is this OCD?- When I pray, I often keep repeating the same phrase until it feels solid or right. Then I have to move onto the next phrase but not in a way that I lose the first phase/the effect of it in me so I have to start again. For example I'm praying to God 'please help my dad to never get cancer' lots of times and then quickly moving onto 'if I break any promises to you god please help them not to count, I'm sorry for ever making them' but if I feel like I've lost the cancer bit I have to start again. I'll feel good after doing it and then start doing a task and then have to do it again.

Can I be born with ocd?
So basically I didn’t know till my hocd started. But looking back at my life I had ocd since I was a kid. Like 6-7 years old. First time happening I remember that when I was doing stuff many times I had to say something like a little poem in my head to stop it. Then I had this thing were if I felt my left foot touch the floor 5 times I had to do the touch the floor with my right foot too. Then I had something I guess contamination??? Basically after washing my hands I had a sensation on my hand like I could still “feel” the germs and I had to wash them again. Then I started having thoughts of my family members getting hurt. I had intrusive thoughts about me hurting my dog. Then I had this obsession that a guy who used to be in my school is looking for me to beat me up. And how it’s this obsession about my sexuality even tho I never doubted or questioned it before. Is that possible??? Like can you be born with it? I’m pretty sure both my parents have it too. At least at some level. Take my father for example he had an obsession that he was going to die the moment he turned 30.

How did your so-ocd feel when it started?
For me it was a weird intrusive thought and after that I slowly started developing anxiety and I felt a weird thing like I was losing my attraction to girls. Then I woke up one day in complete panic cuz it felt like I had lost feelings for girls suddenly and I started searching online how to know if you’re gay if sexuality changes suddenly and I took some gay tests or sexuality tests online. Chat gpt was a big thing back then too. That was before therapy and before I knew what ocd is.Can anyone relate?
