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.

I'm 30. I primarily deal with Real Event, False Memory, and ROCD. I didn't really notice symptoms until last year. It's been tough.

@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

Mike_d

Like seeing people do their life compared to yours? Just so i understand

Ari925

Date posted: 3y ago

@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 😂

hello all! i am relatively new to nocd and kinda interested in finding a support person on this app. i am 22 years old, struggling with many forms of ocd, anxiety and depression. i have friends, but at the end of the day they truly don’t understand what’s going on in my brain. with this post, i am hoping to find someone similar to my age range and what not so we can have eachother to lean on for support. thanks for reading!

It’s been a while but

The thoughts still exist. For the last couple months I’ve been able to say I don’t care and lean into the comfort of being uncertain. Im having a tough time with some things personally right now and guess what decides to show up… Anyways, I’ve been trying to get used to the fact that maybe I’m bisexual with a romantic preference for men (I’m married and love my husband) but when you start going through your compulsions it’s soooo easy for everything to blur out. To my knowledge I’ve never had a crush on a woman but I’ve most definitely watched same sex porn and have thought women are hot and beautiful, then come the thoughts about comp het and how I’ve never been an overly sexual person so that MUST mean something. Ugh idk, just looking for someone to chat with I guess!
