It’s not totally predictable what OCD will go after. Often it does attack what you value. Sometimes it’s just totally random though. It will go after whatever it can really, in my experience.
It really depends how you get triggered. If a thought comes up that really scares you or that you try to control, it can then manifest itself as an OCD. Why it triggers different things is really hard to say. But The themes can change depending on what your mind is focusing on. But it’s a good question. I’m not able to answer why you don’t have certain OCDs but it sounds like POCD is something that’s really hard for you to deal with and it might be because hurting your family is a thought that might not be as repulsive as committing pedophilia. But I’m just guessing here. And it really doesn’t matter, because get ocd treatment through erp will help you deal with any of them
value ur morals? i think
Ehh I think it often can attack things that you feel like would make you a bad person. For example I have this fear that cheating is the worst thing in the world so I always am afraid I have cheated some how. Some people thing being a pedophile is the worst thing ever so they may have thoughts about this whereas I believe pedophiles are often people who were severely traumatized and are in need of help.
This makes so much sense Thankyou
Why is my OCD mainly based around thoughts of hurting those that I love most in this world?! It distressed me to no end and I don’t understand
Is it true that OCD latches onto thing you value most? My themes are: pure OCD, POCD, and real event. If those are my themes, what does that mean about what I value?
I’ve seen a lot of things talking about how ocd attacks what you value most and I’m trying to figure out what that is, I suffer from ROCD AND HOCD. If anyone suffers from the same thing or may know what those people who suffer from those themes usually value please let me know, I’m still trying to figure out what I value the most to get a better understanding of these themes
