Hi there

I suffer with Pure OCD and I hope to find people I can relate to on here. Thank you

Well you have found a friend already in Nilli.

I always think that behind the "pure" obsessions are mental compulsions such as checking and rumination that make it intrusive thoughts OCD.

[Guest lara88]

That's interesting - I never thought of that maybe "pure" O isn't as pure as I traditionally conceive of it. Who is Nilli?

But you are so right that Pure O has those ruminations, those mental compulsions and those "compulsive" elements which make it more than just obsessional.

Sorry I meant Nikki as you posted on her thread.

[Guest lara88]

Thank you. What sort of OCD do you suffer with?

[taurean]

Harm OCD mainly, and my OCD comes in episodes.I can be free for long periods.

[Guest lara88]

If you ever need someone to talk to I feel like I understand harm OCD very well. Mine comes in waves too.

Thanks lara you are a kind friend.

You can add a picture to your profile. I use Saturn at the moment as I am an amateur astronomer. upload a picture say from your mobile to your laptop as the data limit is low on the forum. then upload it through the feature on your profile.

You can change it when you like. I'll switch to the space station to show this.

You can also send a personal message to a forum member . You click on the their picture alongside a message then use the message me feature.

Or you can access their profile( to do it from there) from the search feature top right.
