It’s never been a dominant theme, but I’ve had thoughts here or there. I’ve had OCD since I was 7 or 8 and I’m 34 now. So, over the years I’ve had all manner of thoughts.

I started having problems with OCD when I was 15. It started with Sexual Orientation OCD, I was scared I was suddenly attracted to other women. When I was 19 I got a new theme with TOCD. I was terrified that I was suddenly wanting to become FTM trans. And I don’t really remember when I first started having problems with POCD. A few years ago maybe, possibly around 21-22. But I just started having a bad flare up last month and it’s been hell ever since. I’m 25 now.

It is tough to deal with. Does it deminish so you feel like you can function.

Hey sorry I am still dealing with mine but there was 4 months that I was fine. I did some of my own erp after watching a therapist on youtube (not recommend but my wife supported me) and after the first crazy anxiety episode it got better. My mind realized Hey! Nothing happened and you're okay. It's a long hard journey but you got this! You are not happy with the idea right? That's already a good sign!

Hi there, recently diagnosed with ocd. Now i do recognise some behaviors being a child that were associated with ocd but i could live with them and they never caused me harm. Ocd flared up out of nowhere due to my life being stressful 2 months ago and now i haven’t been the same since. Did it just appear out of nowhere for everyone else. Im so worried it wont get better and it will always be this bad. I constantly have existential thoughts and health w suicide ocd.

I’m a 20 yr old female, I think I’ve always had ocd but the symptoms didn’t become apparent to me until I was about 17. I feel like that’s where life went downhill for me. OCD attacks everything that is important to me, my sexuality, my morals, even my health. Sometimes I wish I could be a kid again and not have this vicious disease in my head constantly bullying me. But I know I will overcome it one day.

Have you ever had a thought so unsettling it stopped you in your tracks? That’s how postpartum OCD started for me, triggered by my grandfather’s passing. After he died, a terrifying question popped into my head—What if I’m not a good person? From that moment, I became afraid of my own thoughts. When I had my daughter, a new fear took over: What if I could hurt her? I avoided being alone with her and constantly sought reassurance, but nothing eased the panic—until I found NOCD and realized I had OCD. Therapy was terrifying, but learning to face my fears instead of running from them changed everything. One day, when I was alone with my daughter, the thoughts came, and I simply responded, Maybe I could. Maybe I couldn’t, and moved on. That’s when I knew I was getting better. OCD no longer controls my life—and if you’re struggling, know that recovery is possible. I’ll be live on the app around 6:00 PM CT answering any questions, so ask away!"
