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.

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...

Hi, I’m new to the app as of today. I’m 20 years old, and wanted to get some stuff off my chest about the types of OCD I’ve been experiencing over the years. I’m not entirely sure how or when my OCD was brought up, but I’ve been a perfectionist for as long as I can remember. Anywhere and everywhere I go, if I see things placed in an order/angle that my brain doesn’t approve of, next thing I know I’m “fixing” it to be in the placement I feel looks better. I’m not aware of why I feel the need to do that, but until an object is in the “right” placement, I won’t take my eyes off of it. My eye will even twitch. Another form of OCD I have is in relationships. I spend each day overthinking and over-analyzing every one of the relationships that are important to me. Friends, family, significant other. Another one is what’s considered “Pure OCD” . When I get an intrusive thought of something devilish, whether it’s randomly seeing my great aunt naked bc my grandma considers her “fat” even though she’s not, or it’s seeing something demonic and traumatizing, I immediately tell myself, “I don’t wanna see/think about that” over and over and over until the thought is gone. Or I’ll try to replace one mental image with another. One other form of OCD I face every day, is religion. I got baptized for the first time in my life earlier this year in January. I had finally started to repent for my sins, and now I’m constantly feeling afraid that I’m letting God down due to my depression/lack of motivation and vaping/smoking. I also fear excessively that He’ll banish me from His kingdom, or just turn a cold shoulder. I know that what I’ve just typed up is probably all over the place. That is my brain unfortunately. How do you go from being a mentally disorderly and seemingly erratic young woman, to a more well-established, successful woman? I’m all ears!

I haven't been able to read about experiences similar to mine when it comes to my perfectionism OCD so I was wondering if anyone had any "uncommon" experiences.

I’m 19 and struggle with health anxiety, contamination, harm, and magical thinking OCD and would love to meet people with similar experiences and hardships because I have never had an opportunity for such a supportive community!
