Hi!
Does anyone else have multiple different types of OCD? Everyone I know keeps saying how i can't be ocd because I dont clean all the time.

I have pure ocd and severe health ocd. My house is a hot mess, cleaning can sometimes actually trigger me. The world has a whole lot of catching up to do on what ocd truly is. I’m sorry that is the answers you have gotten and I am sure that has not helped you one bit. OCD is for sure not being tidy all the time.
Yup I do. Ive had harm ocd, health ocd, magical thinking ocd, gender ocd, and a lot more. Ocd usually doesn't come in one form. Ocd will come as health once. And later in life it may come back as a different type of ocd form. My room is really unorganized and all sloppy. I really could care less about it being clean.
OCD is so much more than cleaning. That's just what they show in the media. I think it's likely that most people with OCD have multiple subtypes- which don't have to include cleaning or being tidy
I’m pretty new to the App. Anyone else have an OCD that is not “a typical OCD theme” and feels alone with it?
Hello everyone. I feel like everyone talks about similar obsessions and compulsions. Let’s shed some light on the different ones and talk more about them. I always feel like nobody has the same ocd as me and that frustrates me so much. Let’s Leave below some your crazy, weird, unique, and different intrusive thought, obsessions, compulsions, and feelings. Let’s see if you find your ocd twin.
I have contamination ocd and I’m constantly cleaning and organizing for sometimes hours until it feels “just right” and it’s truly miserable. I asked a friend of mine if cleaning for hours at a time all day is excessive and his reply was “no you’re just a clean person!” It honestly hurt to hear that I guess I was just seeking reassurance and shouldn’t have asked. Does anyone else get that reply a lot? And if so how do you deal with it? It made me feel like my ocd isn’t a problem.
