Hello, all! I am new here! I've dealt with OCD for almost 30 years. It began with contamination OCD and has developed into more of a pure o. I'm part of many Facebook groups and am hoping to find those more like myself here. Please check out my profile for more info about me! I look forward to helping others out!

Hi! I'm actually the opposite. My OCD was "Pure O"(mental compulsions) and now its contamination. Glad to have met you!

I had OCD involving superstition, magical thinking, and scrupulosity which centered on how bad thoughts influenced real world things. For instance, having a bad thought while buying something would "contaminate" the object and would cause me tons of undue anxiety.
