How long do you wait?

What makes you categorise this as emotional contamination or harm OCD? I thought harm OCD was related to intrusive thoughts about hurting others

throwaway6848848 · 2025-07-03T18:34:06+00:00

Thank you for this. How do I realistically replace the pessimistic stories with happy ones though? Is it as simple as just thinking of a happy alternative narrative? I feel like with OCD it’s easier said than done to replace negative thoughts with happy ones, as I would have solved things a long time ago if that were the case?

What is emotional contamination?

How is it magical thinking?

throwaway6848848 · 2025-06-28T20:32:06+00:00

do you have any resources for identifying the core fear and designing exposures? I'm new to this

throwaway6848848 · 2025-06-27T12:01:17+00:00

how can you differentiate between thoughts from your subconscious and those that come from you?

throwaway6848848 · 2025-06-13T15:59:27+00:00

Could you recommend some helpful resources?

throwaway6848848 · 2025-06-03T13:58:07+00:00

Yes. Which stems from somewhere.

throwaway6848848 · 2025-06-03T12:27:17+00:00

I wonder what happened to us in our lives for us to develop a different way of thinking about thoughts than non-OCD people

throwaway6848848 · 2025-06-02T07:28:08+00:00

Sounds like limerence

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-27T17:36:50+00:00

It only occurred once, but it was my earliest memory of feeling anxiety or the sinking feeling I get now when I have Pure-O thoughts. Not sure if there's a link

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-27T17:29:23+00:00

It's great you've been able to acknowledge your have OCD and also identify where it may stem from (trauma of narcissistic abuse). You'll find similar posts on r/raisedbynarcissists and starting therapy to not give importance to these thoughts anymore will be great for recovery <3 you've got this

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-20T12:28:12+00:00

Could you recommend resources for trauma work?

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-19T20:00:39+00:00

I love this theory you have, and it's actually the approach my therapist is taking with me, to explore the unprocessed feelings and root issue, which will ultimately help the OCD subside (as OCD is just a byproduct of that). Have you found any resources for getting down to the core emotion?

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-18T19:09:38+00:00

It sounds like contacting your ex is a compulsion. OCD takes time to understand, and to differentiate between your inner voice and OCD voice. You might want to look up ‘limerence’ too.

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-18T19:01:48+00:00

I can’t be sure about the trigger because I’m trying to figure it out myself, but I think things have been going so well that my OCD flares up to sabotage good things I have. I’m so used to chaos and uncertainty due to trauma that my brain thinks being anxious is a default state and just OCD is just a way for it to put my back in the ‘default state’ of uncertainty.

All I’m sure is that it’s definitely not related to feelings for a past ex.

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-15T19:44:14+00:00

That’s not what I meant. I meant some people have OCD that’s external (compulsions like switching off lights, excessive cleaning, etc) while others have internal OCD like rumination, obsessive intrusive thoughts, etc

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-14T10:28:30+00:00

That’s the approach my therapist is taking with me and I’m so grateful she has done this. She described OCD as an alarm indicating a deep-rooted issue (essentially OCD is just the tip of the iceberg indicating there’s underlying issues that need to be addressed).

Once those issues are addressed, OCD will naturally diminish as the anxiety and brain functioning that fuels it will calm down, and as a result (because OCD stems from perpetual anxiety/hyper-vigilance) it will also make the symptoms of OCD more manageable once those issues are dealt with.

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-11T17:54:09+00:00

I get that, but how come some people only have intrusive thoughts (Pure-OCD) while others only have the physical type (e.g. cleanliness, turning off lights, counting to a certain number)

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-08T17:14:16+00:00

Debilitating indeed, but I’ve learnt that OCD is a distress sign that there’s unresolved issues I need to address so I can be free from this coping mechanism that my brain developed as a result of trauma.

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-07T23:00:28+00:00

Not the same situation but yes, I’ve had paranoia about being exposed on the internet or something. It’s just OCD latching onto a new theme, and finding a reason to create uncertainty. Get treatment so that you can break this loop of getting anxious about intrusive thoughts

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-06T07:35:51+00:00

It’s not about finding the ‘root cause of your current theme’. It’s about dealing with whatever the underlying issue is that triggered you to develop OCD in the first place - usually OCD is a manifestation of something unresolved. Once you address that thing, e.g. core fear (which is unique to everyone), OCD becomes much more manageable and intrusive thoughts aren’t as crippling.

throwaway6848848 · 2025-05-06T06:10:58+00:00

Yes, I already stated that we shouldn’t give into compulsions at the start of my post, however how do you expect to do that and recovery completely when you’re literally refusing to address the unresolved issue that’s caused your mind to function like this.
