Sometimes, man I do wish I could worry about other things.

I think this too. OCD is hard and I catch myself thinking that I wish I had a different theme because maybe I could handle that one better than the ones I'm currently faced with. But when I think about it, I've said that about a lot of the themes that have happened to me over time and none of them are technically any easier than the others. OCD just sucks.

Iāve had different themes of ocd throughout my life. Can they all differ such as how the thoughts may present? Currently my thoughts feel so true immediately (like they genuinely feel like what I think) but in the last theme I feel like it may have been more of a āwhat if I think thisā type of situation

my OCD is doing what it does best and itās randomly selecting themes. Once Iām not scared or react to one it bounces to another. And then i temporarily forget all of my coping skills for that theme. Rn itās fixating on the time I had a panic attack and itās trying to make me have one again

Themes constantly switching. Iāve been suffering with real event ocd the last year and am currently in therapy treating it. itās nowhere near as bad as it was last year and itās felt like a nice break. thereās days where it gets bad but i canāt compare it to the stress of last year. However iāve noticed every time i overcome a theme a new one hits me out of nowhere. iāve suffered with ocd since i was 9, and ive had multiple themes. iām in a 2 year relationship with my partner and itās amazing. sheās probably my second proper relationship due to the fact my first relationship gave me so much fear to get into another one as i was cheated on, and needed a few years to get over that. i kind of guessed that ROCD would creep in at some point as it just felt inevitable. anyways, i know my partner is not cheating on me, sheās beyond loyal, we are so so in love but i think due to that first relationship i had, being cheated on really messed with my head. itās like my brain is telling me my partner has someone else even though i know in my heart nothings going on, and i trust her with my life. i also think because im in the happiest relationship of my life, anything that would indicate loosing her makes me feel sick and riddled with anxiety. and i know thatās completely normal for everyone. i think the most frustrating thing is, is knowing that my OCD has finally crept into my relationship which is something i never wanted it to do. this is a brand new theme and i have no idea how to treat this. i will speak to my therapist but if anyone has been through this theme and any advice in the meantime i would really appreciate it :).
