About my OCD
I first noticed the signs of OCD as a child around the ages of 8/9 years old. It started off with constant worrying over small things, to not being able to lie. Later my depression came, I was around 10/11 years old. I remember the day like yesterday. I stopped playing and just sat and thought about why was I even alive? How I didn’t want to live.Then small compulsions started, I had to touch certain things 5 times(that’s the nr we were in the family) and check things over and over again. Depression came and went as it wanted.
At 16 years old my Pure-O started. After a huge change in my life that was traumatic for me at the time, It started with intrusive thoughts about God, than over to POCD which I suffer from today. ROCD hit me at 18 years old dating my first BF. Wondering if I was really inlove.
I tend to worry about everything and nothing, but my main themes are POCD and ROCD.
I know OCD, but am not familiar with POCD or ROCD. But now I will learn something today. Everyone seems to use the term “intrusive thoughts”. I like meddlesome thoughts more. When I looked up intrusive it seemed to always refer to the negative. Not all my “intrusive thoughts” are negative. Thank you for taking the time to share. I enjoyed reading.
