- "Pure" OCD
- Somatic OCD
God yes. Or like catching the stomach virus or getting food poisoning. The only thing I've really done is when I eat food that maybe upsets my stomach so I start getting those thoughts... I say we'll maybe this food will make me throw up, maybe it wont...until then I'm going to keep on doing what ever I want. Then each time the thoughts try to hit after that I just let them come and go and don't get into a worry fit or convince myself I'm ok.
Had this for years. It was before I even knew OCD existed and it was really rough; took over my life. It's still around but way less intense and I can actually read and say words related to it without being terrified it will happen. I wish I could give you some better advice. :/ Best wishes.
