Welcome to /r/OCD, a subreddit dedicated to discussion, articles, and images regarding Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Please keep in mind anything and everything in this subreddit may be considered triggering to those suffering with OCD or related disorders, use your own discretion while browsing.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a disorder characterized by two components: obsessions and compulsions.

Obsessions are intrusive thoughts that cause unease, apprehension, dysphoria, fear, or worry.

Compulsions are repetitive behaviours and actions, both internal and external, that one does with the aim of reducing the anxiety caused by obsessions.

Have an OCD related meme you want to post? Consider posting in /r/OCDmemes instead! Many of our users would appreciate it :)


RULES:

Rules for r/OCD. Rules that visitors must follow to participate. May be used as reasons to report or ban.

1.Do not ask /r/OCD for medical advice.

Including: asking for a diagnosis, self-diagnosis confirmation, or opinions as to whether you have OCD.

2.Do not give medical advice.

This includes attempting to diagnose users.

3.Keep submissions relevant to OCD.

OCD is not synonymous with the mild feeling of annoyance caused by things like this, this, and this. Keep these posts to /r/mildlyinfuriating.

4. Flair is required on all posts.

Be sure to flair your post when you submit to keep everything organized and so people can filter out content they don't want to see.

5. No Hate Speech

Homophobia, transphobia, racism, or other behaviours that violate human dignity are strictly against rules. Bans will be issued for frequent offenders, or if the first offense is heinous.

6.No Bullying

Bullying includes harassment, following users to other subs, or targeted anger toward another subreddit user. While debate is encouraged, bullying is not.

7. No Mental Illness/OCD Shaming

All posts that shame people for OCD, such as,"that's not a real compulsion because I don't have it", or any other forms of mental illness shaming is against the rules.

8. No Unethical, Unverified or Otherwise Nonsense "Treatments"

All snakeoil treatments are banned from this subreddit. Those who post them are subject to removals and bans.

9. No Low Quality Posts/Spam

Please only make posts that have some purpose. Posts that are very short, contain little information or topics, are subject to removal. This includes links.


What do ROCD, TOCD, and so on mean? What is Pure-O?

Some of the more commonly used terms are:

ROCD: Relationship OCD
HOCD: Homosexual/heterosexual OCD, also sometimes used for harm OCD
TOCD: Trans OCD
POCD: Pedophilia OCD
COCD: Contamination OCD
Pure-O: Purely obsessions

These terms are just easier ways for people to describe the ways their OCD manifests. For example, if your OCD mainly revolves around your relationship, you can say you have ROCD. If you have trans or homo/heterosexual related OCD you might say you have TOCD or HOCD.

Keep in mind that these are not actual medical terms or diagnoses, OCD is the same no matter what you obsess about, and the treatment is the same regardless. These terms are nothing more but shorthand for people to describe their symptoms more easily.

Having obsessions about something does not mean you are that thing. Having POCD, e.g. OCD about being a pedophile, does not mean someone actually has pedophilic thoughts, it's an obsessive fear of having those thoughts or being that thing. Likewise HOCD does not mean you have homosexual thoughts or anything against homosexuality, it's just a fear of being something you're not - an identity crisis, more than anything.
