I’m 16, dealing with existential OCD. It’s the ultimate theme because there are literally no answers to our questions so we have no choice but to face uncertainty lol

I'm seventeen, eighteen soon. I have contamination, moral, a dash of health/existential, and I imagine traces of a few other themes. My OCD seems to err on the milder side of things, though, and it's not as bad now as it once was, which is a relief.

@NOCD Advocate - Michael F. It totally did and I'm still struggling to accept my diagnosis. It started with some ROCD and fears of cheating and then it progresses to fearing that I cheated on my partner in the past. I was a mess when he met me and now I'm questioning if I was good to him our entire relationship. I can't recall anything but here I am worried that I haven't been.

I’m 31 and I’m honestly not sure how many I have but it usually revolves around Self harm OCD, and maybe existential? I worry why I am here and I worry I won’t be able to accomplish everything I want. Also is fomo ocd a thing 🤣? Cause like change triggers me big time and I see everyone growing and doing different things and I’m here just trying to not answer ocd thoughts and feelings

@NOCD Advocate - Michael F. Yes it’s hard to pinpoint or explain. I just get these thoughts and feelings like I should be I.e. living on my own and okay with and wanting it (I live with family). But then I get thoughts and feelings that that’s scary and it gives me anxiety and makes me want to crawl into a bubble. I should be okay with romantic relationships and possibly working towards marriage and kids cause I see others doing itand my own friends and family doing it ( I also thought I would have these things by now and I don’t) and I feel like I struggle with it. I fear being alone yet I’ve avoided dating cause of different fears of not being able to trust myself pop up. But yea I was diagnosed last year and my main distressing theme was suicidal ocd and I did treatment for it and recently had my touch up treatment, and it’s gone down and yet it feels like I’m not doing life right or at the right time and things are gonna pass me by and cue anxiety and mental looping cause I’m running out of time and life is short. Oh this person is changing and growing in my life? What if everyone does and I can’t and stay the same and miserable? Things like that sorry if it doesn’t make sense but it just feels like when one of my themes goes down it’s like my ocd tries to latch onto other things as well and it’s frankly annoying as hell.

25 with so-ocd, pocd, real event ocd, and moral scrupulosity ocd (my goodness I’m a mess haha). I struggle very much with sexually intrusive thoughts and my biggest compulsion is probably rumination. I also have a panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and depression so I would like to add to my previous statement…I’m a HOT mess 😂

I know we all suffer from OCD...
... but I would like to find people on here around my age (I'm 38), who would be interested in proper chats and conversations outside of here (the app is great, but as there is no option to properly chat, but only blog, it's not completely satisfying my need for conversation with other OCD sufferers). I know younger people suffer from OCD, too, but certain things and views are just different, when someone is 20 years younger than me (no offence). Of course, we'd need to find out, if we get along and, if not, it should be fine to stop engaging without any hard feelings.
