Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Support Group
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder. OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.
With regards to your obsessions and/or compulsions do you find that they change over time or are they always the same?
I find that for me they change a little bit over the course of a year or so. My really hard stuff stays the same (my germ fear), but now I do more tapping and touching rituals rather than so much checking.

But yes, the obsessions and thoughts do change from time to time. However, they usually have the same underlying thing -- usually guilt.
always had ocd compulsions -bodily ,etc
now pure o.
and the pure o changes over time...i try to remind myslef that it is ocd and that as long as i dont improve the anxiety ocd will find something else to obsess over.its not the obsession or compulsion that is the prob but the anxiety.so lets not be surprised by ocd..we can be a step ahead...when it comes,call it ocd and let it pass...get to doing something(exercise,music,etc)
