I get jealous people without ocd have loved ones and coworkers that can understand and relate to problems they go through. Mine make no sense to a lot of people and it is incredibly isolating. If I was going through normal problems I’d feel so much more supported and connected. That’s what I’m jealous of. I don’t wish other people had this I wish I was in the same world as everyone else mentally.

@Tiredddd Yep. I can feel like I want to die and I urgently need to analyze something or my worst nightmare could be true all day and not be able to tell anyone. What would someone say if I said I’m afraid something that happened made me worry I might actually want to harm my child and it feels like my entire life is crumbling. It would trigger no empathy or understanding for most people.

@sarahmamabearah24 Thats the reality, most people won’t understand. I still haven’t told anyone about my ocd that’s why I tend to come on here a lot to feel less lonely.

@Tiredddd I tell people I have ocd and that my ocd is bothering me but that means pretty much nothing to them.

Actually no I don’t, I personally feel happy that those around me aren’t suffering like I do. Plus everyone else has their own struggles to deal with, whether it be another mental illness, physical illness, death of a loved one, loss of a job, etc. This is just my battle to work through. I don’t think the energy of jealousy benefits anyone but eventually causing resentment. That’s how I see it, at least.

Not jealous In a way that I want them to suffer but I would want to live a normal life free from any mental illness. Those struggles you mentioned about jobs, death of a loved one and so on are a part of life and everyone will have to experience one way or another

@Tiredddd I totally get that! I took it the other way based on “I’m jealous others are not going through the same thing as me” like I don’t want them to suffer, but of course I’d like to not have OCD as well. Also yes those are things everyone eventually goes through, but some are earlier dealt with as other, plus just having other illnesses and disorders that we don’t necessarily have as well

Yes to some extent I get jealous. I don't understand why they aren't bothered with germs and cleanliness like me and I wish that I could function and think like they do. It feels so defeating for me.

Does anyone else ever get obsessions where you worry that your OCD isn’t real or isn’t bad enough to be OCD?

Anyone else on here struggling with retroactive jealousy OCD? Would also love to hear from people who are making progress with it, or feel they've got over it?

Does anybody else look at someone else’s profile here, see the ocd themes they struggle with, and wish that they had those issues i stead of the ones they’re dealing with? I don’t wish ocd on anyone and from me that’s a lot cause I’ve wished some pretty bad shit on people. But I’m just saying I feel like there are some ocd themes that are much worse then others. I have SOOCD and an ROCD equivalent (don’t ask) but what I think is THEE worst OCD? POCD. That shit must be horrible and I’m so sorry for anyone struggling with it
