This 'Pure-O' OCD hit me around the end of June this year with intrusive thoughts and constantly worrying about them. Before that, I had never experienced this before, or at least to this extent. I mean, I obsessed about things, but those worries used to fade away quite easily over a few days.

But since this OCD kicked in, I haven't been able to budge it at all. It started at the end of June, it last for a week and during that week I had no idea what it was but I then discovered an OCD forum and I could identify with what lots of other people were going through so I have come to the conclusion that it's OCD, or 'Pure-O'. Then the following two weeks, for some reason I was able to kick it, and I had a great OCD free two weeks. But then it hit me again after that two weeks and has been here ever since. So it's been stuck with me for just over two months now and I can't seem to get rid of it, my mind feels locked in this constant 'worry/awareness' of OCD along with the intrusive thoughts.

Like I say, I've got an appointment to speak to a specialist next week and will hopefully be getting CBT and I can get better. I just hope my mind isn't locked in this state for the rest of my life.

Thanks.
