I used to have contamination OCD, and I completely overcame it.


Now, I have Pure O OCD, and I experience a lot of intrusive thoughts. I'm extremely distressed, and I'm not finding any joy in life anymore.

I hear you, and it’s really tough to be struggling with Pure O OCD, especially when it starts to take away your sense of joy and peace. The fact that you've overcome contamination OCD is a huge testament to your strength and ability to manage challenging symptoms, and that same strength will be with you as you work through this.

I'm really sorry you're going through this—it sounds incredibly difficult. Dealing with Pure O OCD, where intrusive thoughts cause intense distress, can be especially challenging. The nature of these thoughts can make you feel like you're trapped in your own mind, and it's common to feel overwhelmed or isolated when you're not finding relief.
