Funny enough my ocd is characterized by an edgy teenage boy, very far from what I am. Helps me come to terms with what happens and is light hearted despite being a not so fun time! I wish I could share photos lol

Mine is a white man in a business suit named Stan. When I was a little kid I didnāt realize he wasnāt real and I thought he lived in my closet š³ Heās not so scary now that I know who he is!

Hi, Iām new to this app and newly diagnosed. Question for you all, What things did you normalize and do without a second thought that when diagnosed, you realized was actually your OCD? Mine was how concerned with germs I am. I hold my breath when I open a door so the rush of wind doesnāt infect my lungs from whatever is in the room. I thought everyone was really careful and concerned like me. But Ive learned itās not normal the lengths I go to. What was yours?

Iāve been thinking a lot about how OCD changes the way we see ourselves, but I recently realized that I am not my thoughts. Just because a thought pops up doesnāt mean itās true or that it defines me. Iāve started learning how to see OCD for what it isājust a disorder trying to trick meāand Iāve become stronger in dealing with it. Has anyone else here had a similar realization? How do you handle these thoughts when they show up?

I think it's important to be able to make fun of yourself and joke about these things, so, just for fun, what's the silliness obsession you've had? Here's mine: when I was six I convinced myself that my overdue library books would create a butterfly effect that would end the world
