Because every time you do a compulsion you are strengthening the intrusive thoughts and making your OCD worse.

Can it be also because when you're young you still don't have enough bad experiences so you don't have enough material for fears?

Thats not true. I had my first intrusive thought at 8 years old. OCD fears can be based on real life events. But not always.

Question
Why is it that you beat one OCD think, but another OCD thing comes up related to it, but the same theme?

OCD during Healing
Does anyone who has gotten better/healed with OCD ever experience that their thoughts and urges get more difficult as you get better. I feel like I am getting better at handling certain things but I feel like now newer themes and such get more difficult as I progress. I was curious if this is kind of the process to getting better. Weirdly, like it makes sense the closer you are to getting better thoughts become worst and stronger since you are doing better. Just need to keep on pushing and doing what I have been. Let me know, would love to hear your guys thoughts and feedback
