OCD is sort of like a chameleon I think. It can fit itself into any situation. That being said, disinterest can be a sign of depression, which often results from OCD after awhile.

I think I'm not depressed Well before OCD hit me. I was sad cause my online friend ghosted me. Just like I think of a good thing. My OCD thoughts are like it's no fun and what's the point of that 🤷🏻

@Michaelggg I'm sorry to hear about that. It's always a little (or very) hurtful when plans made with friends don't work out, especially with no communication from them. Depression or OCD, or even simple emotional exhaustion, it makes sense to be a little disinterested.

Same issue with me- once my OCD spiked, it was coupled with depression and anxiety. I suspect in our case, OCD is the root cause of our depression. After all, you don’t really feel like yourself. I’m just practicing riding the waves. Sorry you’re experiencing this too.

Actually I don't really know if I'm depressed but I have anxieties. One day just for a mental compulsion I was telling that what's the point of hurting people as I have harm OCD and I tried to remember a good thing it suddenly turned into what's the point of doing that good thing either. Like my mind constantly kept on telling it's boring that's no fun etc. For eg. I like playing football but my mind says me what's the point of playing that's no fun.

@Michaelggg Oh I see- If it’s just anxiety then, doing ERP to re-wire that brain will hopefully bring about your old feelings of interest towards those activities

Rocd & depression. Feeling no love or attraction?
I struggle with rocd, and a big intrusive thought that I have is that I’m no longer in love with my partner. I am going through a depression right now, and I am struggling to feel any kind of passion towards anything at the moment. I am withdrawing from the people I love because I just feel like I want to be alone. When I’m with people I just feel exhausted by it. I guess my question is, has anyone ever felt like this from depression? Does it take feelings of love and attraction away? I can’t tell if this is my ocd or depression or a combination of both. But it’s starting to impact my relationship which makes me panic because losing it is my worst fear.

How do I know if I have OCD?
This list by ai gives a good summary of my symptoms. Does it resemble OCD or is it something else? 1. Compulsions (OCD-specific behaviors): • Feeling the need to flex or contract muscles an even number of times, equally on both sides of your body. • Needing to reverse actions (for example, if you roll your eyes or trace a line with your finger, you feel compelled to do it again in the exact opposite way). 2. Intrusive Thoughts (OCD-specific ruminations): • Daydreaming about people you care about getting hurt (e.g., school shooting, injury, or kidnapping). • Sometimes feeling like you might want something bad to happen to someone you find attractive—possibly because of a desire to help or save them, though it’s confusing. • These thoughts can sometimes provide a twisted sense of relief while remaining distressing and confusing. 3. Sexual Orientation OCD: • Experiencing confusion or doubt about your sexual orientation. 4. Contamination Thoughts: • Feeling like things are contaminated, especially after touching something gross. 5. Sensory Compulsions: • Feeling the need to smell your hand after touching areas like your ear or hair. 6. ADHD-like Symptoms / Additional Observations: • Fidgeting or moving your legs when standing or sitting.

Just right OCD
Hey guys just wondering if anyone suffers from this type of OCD. I feel a big struggle to even begin things because it doesn’t feel right or if I resume things it doesn’t feel right. Anyone have any advice ? Thank you
