News of Anxiety Disorders

I genuinely feel sick writing this out. But here goes.

I’m 19, and I’ve NEVER EVER had ANY thoughts about children, CP, or ANYTHING. NEVER. Never had any attraction at all. I have a boyfriend, I was sexually healthy. However, the other day I was looking through taboo porn stories nothing ever illegal or extreme. Never anything remotely related to children, EVER. But then, I came across this link that said “I had sex at ...

Hello,
I have hocd since last year and its first time that ever happened to me, I am 24 years old male and i get triggered everytime gay like thought appears in my mind. But I have been slowly recovering since few months back after knowing what ocd really is and how much it affects me after everytime I kept believing what ifs as kind of threat. Even though it's almost gone for me I ...

As a result of my current theme, I'd put off a completing a really important task. I was worried that completing it would set off a chain reaction that would ruin my life. Recently, I learned that I can't postpone it any longer, and I don't know how to cope.

I wasn't coping well before, but I think I managed well enough. My panic slowly dissipated. I stopped reacting to the sights and sounds that ...

Hello, it has been a while since I've posted here but I haven't gotten better. I've been stuck in this HOCD cycle for over five months now and there is no way out because there is so much proof that my fears are all real.

Two years ago, there was no doubt that I was straight. I'd always been attracted to girls, and although I didn't always want to pursue them I was getting to ...

I wish I hadn't had OCD from the very beginning. It's going to be painfully hard for me to live with it once I get married and have kids. Why am I the chosen one? Why did it latch on things that I fear the most? I'm 17 years old, turning 18 in a year and I can't believe that I had to live up with this crap in my mid-teens. Not only do I ...

First post here. So I've been having really bad anxiety after a bad weed trip and porn combo worrying about being gay ever since. I've found myself checking almost every day and recently I was trying to get off to a porn comic and it was all fine with just a naked female, but then I went to the next page and saw a penis, and right after looking at it and trying to look ...

I’m wondering if anyone has experienced more than 3 weeks withdrawal from Citalopram? I’ve been on 20mg for around 7 years, and Effexor before that. I’ve been on and off antidepressants since I was 13 and I’m now 41. I decided to stop because I was sick of feeling tired all the time, being apathetic, and getting the occasional panic attack even when on the med. I felt fine at first but now it’s week ...

This girl and I were dating for 4ish months, then 2 months long distance, until last month. We were never in a committed relationship, because she has some serious hangups about commitment, but we agreed to tell each other if we decided to start dating other people. I asked her if we could break up and try seeing each other again in the fall (when I return for school) because I felt myself losing feelings ...

I keep testing myself by masturbating and seeing can I ejaculate to gay thoughts particularly thoughts of oral sex I get a strange sensation in my mouth and sometimes it feels like I can ejaculate very quick and with little effort from it which bothers me a lot. Lately Iv been doing a lot of testing this way I don’t have much anxiety in fact literally zero but I feel sort of depressed. Anyway today ...
