Hello! I’m so sorry you’re going through this :( From what I’ve been reading up the best thing we need to do is accept the thoughts, as horrible as this may sound. Forcing the thoughts away just makes the thoughts more severe and more likely to come back. When the thoughts come to you, acknowledge them and try to let them pass without performing compulsions. It is really hard, but with practice and time you’ll get used to it :)

Hi Kevin. I can relate, I am 27 now, been struggling with pure O for 11 years, but just recently discovered what it is I have. I can only say that it helps me to be among people who dont judge me for my thoughts and I can talk openly about my struggles. All the best Timon

New here, wondering about "pure" ocd
Hello! I'm new here and new to OCD. My therapist suggested I might have OCD due to my tendency to ruminate endlessly on doubts and fears. These thoughts are indeed intrusive and I can't seem to stop them. The thing I'm kind of stuck on is that I can't see where the compulsions come in. Unless the thoughts themselves are compulsions. Can anyone relate to this?

Hi, I’m Matt!
Hey guys, I hope you’re well! My names Matt, and OCD has struck me again 😂 When I was 10 years old I had to attend therapy as I was having excessive intrusive thoughts. P.s. I didn’t even know this was possible at the age of 10! I then completely forgot about it, until 2.5 years ago when I started experiencing ROCD. I really couldn’t understand why I was feeling/thinking this way however, I soon after remembered my struggles as a child and then realised my OCD had returned. Also, my mum has serious OCD so I guess that could be why too. I had a a really hard battle with my emotions and mood due to this however, the last 1.5 years had been really good and I managed it well. I got married and had the best day of my life. 3 months ago, a thought about having an affair in my head appeared, and BOOM, it’s back again. I’m struggling a lot right now however, I’ve accepted that this could be a re occurring theme throughout my life, and it’s time to learn to deal with it again. I’m back on medication and have started ERP therapy, so hopefully it’s on the up from here. I’m not here to list off my triggers and thoughts as this would be me seeking reassurance however, I’m here to show that recovery is certainly possible!

Advice for a bad time (TW for depression)
Going through a ready hard time rn. Anyone have advice for how they get out of rough patches with their ocd. It’s completely taken over my life the past two days and I feel like all I do is sleep and have this knowing anxiety.
