Yes. My themes have changed many times through the years. I have had years where things aren't that bad. But then a new theme starts. I have had OCD since I was 8, but I didn't know until last month. I was diagnosed at 45.

That is so heartbreaking you were only diagnosed recently. I have had ocd since I was 10 and was diagnosed when i was 30. A few weeks ago i forgot to take my tablets when i went away and missed a couple of doses....i wasnt worried because i thought there was nothing i could get ocd about...how wrong was i!? X

Definitely. I go about a year or so in between then if I get stressed by any little thing it comes back in a huge wave x

Definitely, I had a period where I had only one compulsion and it was a time one so my parents never noticed it so they thought that it went away even though it came back later.

Does anyone Else’s ocd flare up bad when in stressful life situations? I was doing amazing and now that I’m having some drama with my life it seems to have come back with a vengeance. Anyone else?

Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared that i was feeling to good and that my fear is actually true.

Im still searching about pure o ocd while I still look for a specialized therapist so that's why I'm asking the following thing lol Is normal to have months and/or years without an ocd episode? I noticed I had a considerable amount of episodes in all my living years but sometimes they took a year or a bit more than a year to appear, in worse scenarios I noticed the took just months to appear once again Is that normal? Im kinda feeling guilty about it because I notice some people live 24/7 with ocd since they are kids while my thing is more like, episodically, not 24/7 since I was born? My last episode started in August of last year and is still haunting me but I know people had it worsened since their earlier years of life
