Skullpops Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hi everyone, I am currently in the grips of a relapse that happened almost a year ago. The things that worried me when I first relapsed I can now quite clearly recognise as OCD, though at the time I couldn't and thought I'd never be able too. Fast forward to now and the things I'm worrying about are along the same lines but different too if that makes sense...I continually analyse and ruminate "what if?" I know I shouldn't be doing that and I'm working hard to stop. Anyway, my question is this...is it common to have a worry, ruminate for months, finally recognise it as OCD with confidence, only to start worrying about something different? Link to comment
PolarBear Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Of course. That's the nature of OCD. It morphs all the time. As soon as you stop being bothered by one obsession, a new one pops up. The trick is knowing what to do, no matter what obsession pops up. Link to comment
