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!

I have lived with OCD forever but I haven’t had a major flare up since I was like 8 years old… I feel like I will never be normal again. I’m a mom to two kids we just bought a house and I have my dream job and I just got a new car and I can’t SNAP out of it… I keep obsessing that I’m going to be stuck feeling like this forever. It originally started with “what if” I harm my kids because I snap and not it’s basically turned into I’ll never be or feel normal again and this is it. I will never be able to care for my kids alone again, and this is the new me. Can anyone relate? I want to take SSRI but I’m so scared I took it for 2 days and I had immense depression where I wanted to like run away from myself… Please help, I’m also spinning on the fact I need to go to an in patient facility to be normal and I feel so guilty since I have 2 kids, any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I am newly diagnosed with OCD as a 33 year old female I was fat oses with bipolar at 15 and never really identified with it much and totally relate to ocd. I wish i would have known long ago so I could have gotten treatment earlier. Now that I know and am aware and can see what’s off and what are compulsions and my insatiable need for reassurance it’s so overwhelming- it feels like my mind is a prison and attacks me with a new pure o quest as soon as I wake up I’m optimistic I’ll be able to get better but it just feels like it’s time sucking and joy stealing disorder I know I’m not alone here I feel like a crazy person replaying and replaying things I want to know if you can relate or if you have been at this for a while and actually feel like you are breaking free from this Thanks for the read

I recently got diagnosed with OCD back in May of this year. What started it was a month prior, I took an SSRI which triggered an extremely intense couple of days due to panic attacks I’ve never had before. I’ve never had panic attacks but pretty intense anxiety. That’s when I started experiencing DPDR and hyper awareness. I’m good some days, but other days it’s so so hard. Especially because I have no one around me that understands. The DPDR and awareness of every feeling, thought, and just overall awareness of my existence gets really overwhelming. I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s really hard to sit with my thoughts especially when they’re on a constant loop of every little thing I’m thinking and doing and on top of that feeling like I’m in a dream. I desperately just want to go back to how I was 4 months ago, but I know that’s just not possible right now. If anyone has experienced this and is doing much better now or even currently experiencing this please let me know! I need someone to relate to lol
