One time I was looking at a photo of michael cera and I got the most bizzarre intrusive thought ever that was like "he looks jewish". I was literally stumped by that thought because I have no idea what makes a person look jewish...at all. I started thinking stuff like "why would I think that? Am I an anti-semite? Why would I think he looks jewish is it because of those horrible anti-semetic portraits???". I even looked up his personal info only to find out he had italian heritage and I'm still so confused about why I thought that. Possibly some dumb intrusive thought but of course I'm gonna worry that there was more than that. I don't think there's anything that makes a person "look jewish", so I just sat there feeling like a moron for half an hour.

@vimli I have that obsession constantly! But not just that, stuff like am I racist? Am I homophobic? Am I sexist?

Literally same. Racism OCD honestly felt like the last straw for me, because I was like "I can't live with more guilt than what I already experience, this is torture."

Constantly re-reading messages or stuff I write out just to check that it “makes sense”... as if I’ve suddenly forgotten how words work... ?

OCD sucks. My worst one is the homophobia one because I’m LGBT+ but racism OCD is bad too

for me racist and ableist intrusive thoughts really make me feel like garbage because my best friend is literally black and disabled and I would never want to think these horrible things about a person that's been by my side for so long. I literally tell her sometimes like... I feel like I'm being fake nice to you because I have these horrible thoughts about you and I never wanna hurt you and she says "you are not your mind...Remember that? That's what you told me"

I thought it was something only my OCD brought up though I’ve thought that about a lot of my themes

Your friend sounds great and yeah, it’s always worst if it is something to do with family or friends

I would obsess about staring too much so I would count how many seconds in my head that I would make eye contact with people. If I did it for more than 5 seconds, they catch on and think that I’m weird.

Today my boyfriend was sitting and talking to this girl in class. He shuffled closer to her probably because he couldn’t hear her or something. That made me panic a bit because “he’s shuffling closer to her omg she’s basically sitting on his lap. hes MY boyfriend” and then I managed to convince myself that he was ignoring me and that he hates me. Stupid thing to think because I mean why would he be dating me if he hated me? Lol typical

This is a great question because there are so many small things I’ve obsessed over. If I had to choose one I would say it would be the specific time , date , and everything I did a specific day in 2007 to make sure I didn’t have time to do something horrible ??? and I used a calculator once to count the days since a specific day to make sure there wasn’t enough time for me to forget if I did something bad ???

I have to check my purse again and again several times in a day just to make sure that there is nothing in there that shouldn't.

My smallest one was about... my phone battery. I obsessively checked my battery health, every day multiple times a day. I was afraid it would get “old” and not hold a good charge.

Obsessive hand washing
I obsess constantly about my hands being dirty and feel like I can actually see the germs and bacteria crawling all over my hands if I can’t wash them as soon as I touch something. It’s really embarrassing since people in my life have noticed this “weird” behavior but it’s a huge problem for me and I don’t know how to make the obsessive thoughts stop.

What's the silliest OCD obsession you've had?
I think it's important to be able to make fun of yourself and joke about these things, so, just for fun, what's the silliness obsession you've had? Here's mine: when I was six I convinced myself that my overdue library books would create a butterfly effect that would end the world

Fun question! 😊
Not sure if this is OCD or ADHD or both, but sometimes I get really stuck on a topic to the point that it's obsessive and somewhat debilitating but still fun. Does anyone else get caught up on random topics (in a slightly unhealthy way)? This part of my mental health issues is one I don't mind as it has contributed a lot of joy to me through different fandoms and groups in my life. Just curious what obsessions (positive) you guys have and if you consider it a blessing, a curse or a blerse lol
