Seeing OCD everywhere
Another thing I’ve realised and wondered if this is true for others, do you start to see aspects of your theme everywhere in things when you didn’t before?

My ocd images/thoughts literally pop up in everything that I find enjoyable, it’s like my brain is like “oh you like this, well im gonna make you think about your ocd every time you do this” lol I think it’s pretty common with OCD

@Punkyboy Yeah it’s the hardest bit I’ve found so far, sometimes gets me thinking the theme is real and then have to pop that bubble before it ruminates into something nasty

Personally at times everything good , bad and indifferent can be tinged with OCD . Example for something good say sports or music I can get wrapped up with details where it becomes obsessive and compulsive. Same with all other categories OCD & GAD can rear its head it really anything if given the opportunity.

Newly diagnosed and Curious.
Hi, I’m 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 doesn’t infect my lungs...
