Also for me, I used to be very scared of flying and I had a ton of compulsions. Counting to ten. Touching the plane before entering, playing music at a certain time and playing games at a certain time, if I ever violated these, my thoughts told me we would crash.
I see a lot of HOCD, POCD, and sexual intrusive thoughts. Ive never dealt with any of those. I rarely see contamination OCD. Yet supposedly its one of the more common OCD themes ?
Relationship intrusions. Getting worried with friends so you blow up their phone by calling or texting. Asking questions over and over again about a person and getting different answers from the actual person. Wanting the truth and feeling if I don’t have the truth all get emotional and that’s the worst circumstance to me
I have several. Mainly I worry about people not liking me and that makes me not like myself. The other one is I’m always afraid of throwing up and I even get scared when people cough in a certain way.
“ur tying a plastic bag, u must be doing it to flirt”
Ocd: “oH ur walking behind them? ur flirting for sureee
I had intrusions about my teachers, priest, and family
It’s awful
I’ve had sexually intrusive thoughts about teachers when I was younger. I didn’t even realize that could’ve been OCD untill you said something @meloday_fair
I imagine people yelling at me all the time. It makes it hard to talk to people.
So you know how the more widely known ones have to do with keeping clean? My OCD did the opposite for me. When I was about 12, I only showered once a week because every time I got in the bathroom to shower I'd start having sexual intrusive thoughts about randomly stripping down in the middle of class and I would start thinking "well what if that's really what's happening and I only think I'm in the shower because I'm hallucinating or something?" Also for some reason my sexual intrusive thoughts most commonly include teachers. Its disgusting and I've never met anyone else who has that problem!
Used to avoid pools and sharp objects bc I was afraid I would drown myself or stab myself or someone else. Red is a “bad” color. Never been able to have bangs that swipe to one side or part my hair to one side, because it is asymmetrical and feels like the side with slightly more hair weighs like 10 more pounds? That whole half of my body throbs and aches. Anything to do with food, I am very leery of and will wash food/utensils over and over until they feel clean. I get panicked when my phone is at 66%. Even numbers and multiples of 5 are “right” and odd numbers are “bad.” And the list goes on...
New to the group! I’m 38 and have had OCD since I was 8 (officially diagnosed at 34). My OCD used to revolve around order and cleaning. In the last year it developed into a chronic series of intrusive thoughts centered around parasites. Lice, bed bugs, fleas....you know it. I’m constantly checking beds, hair any surface. I’m now on my umpteenth attempt with medication and cognitive behavioral therapy. I feel like I’m the only person with these irrational sets of intrusive thoughts. It’s embarrassing and isolating. Anyone here who has a similar fear or focused fear that triggers their ocd?
Hi my names Allison I am new here and I have been diagnosed with OCD through 6 questions in a online test, I got 5/6 and I am very much in fear, I just turned 14 and trying to reach people with similar problems So far the symptoms I've recodnized by myself are My OCD Symptoms Long showers Flickering lights or switches Creating unwanted balance in random objects Redoing everyday things at a specific value Counting for no reason Suicidal thoughts Feeling like you are a danger to the ones you love Repeating words unnecessarily at a certain value Easily getting mad Mentally hurt or torn down at most times I don't know if anyone here has anything in common with me but I hope someone can help me get through my experiences
Curious. Some people obsess and worry about things that they believe to be unique. What is your theme? What are some of the things you’ve obsessed about?
