Can pocd fit in the same category as pure ocd? I would feel much more comfortable telling my parents I have pure o instead of pocd

Sometimes I get other intrusive thoughts like about family members, racism, etc. but it’s mostly pocd

Like I said on the other thread it’s just ocd or (pure o). I sent my parents and partner links to pure o symptoms etc that lists all different themes to show them it can grasp onto anything 

Hey pretty new here. From what I understand the different theme categories are only there to help people to recognise that other people struggle with their particular theme too. OCD can latch onto any theme and present with any compulsion (including the mental ones). So really you can just say you have OCD if you like and that would be perfectly try and reasonable because it’s all just OCD.
