What type of OCD do you have ?

[lilyrayne]

I'm suffering from OCD intrusive thought for years and it's so debilitating! I'm currently waiting for referral from my GP for treatment , I just wondered as there a a different types of OCD. What type of OCD do you have? And how are you coping in life with it ? Xx

i have germ phobia and intrusive thoughts. i wash my hands a lot, i have all kinds of weirdness around food and drink and other people’s houses.

the intrusive thoughts range from how shit i am as a person, to real panic that i’ve done something terrible and not remembered.

the cleaning part of my ocd has settled down since i split with my partner and lived on my own. i couldn’t control my environment before so spent all my time cleaning and micro-managing, with lots of debilitating rituals. i can actually leave the washing up for a day now.

how are you, OP? is life bearable?
