I AM COMPLETELY TERRIFIED.

My thoughts are destroying my life and I can’t cope with them anymore.

They are making my life a LIVING HELL!

This is far too much for me to cope with and I can’t put up with anymore.

The thoughts are in my head for so much of the day.

I am scared I have gender dysphoria and that I’m going to become a woman. These thoughts terrorise me and are ...

So I have been diagnosed with OCD, and I also have anxiety and autism.

One of my issues which thankfully my sister is extremely understanding is for whatever reason and I have no idea why I get uncomfortable seeing her bra strap, it is an issue with other women as well, but because my sister's bra strap falls down a lot, and her favourite style is sleeveless clothing its a particular problem for me.

Many people with ocd and mental illnesses suffer from strange and debilitating coincidence and synchronicities that we can't explain, and they feel telepathic and psychic like, or like we're manifesting it with our thoughts. They scare us and cause depression and anger. Many of us are fighting to be skeptic and rational thinkers when it comes to things like the paranormal, but these experiences keep happening and they're driving us insane.

What we go through ...

something that can possibly give you a big push on the road to recovery is "ideomotor theory" This research is based on how scientist learned that the same neurons fire off when thinking about performing action as it does when actually performing the action.

But here is the kicker, if enough emotion is put into the thought then the person will make involuntarily/unconcious small actions in relation to the thought. So that explains a lot ...

Hi. I am 25 years old. I have long suffered from what I believe is Hocd. I have had it for about four years now. I guess i should explain how it first manifested. I can really say when the intrusive thoughts bergan popping in, but when they did i got confused. At first i admit i didnt think much of them. I thought they were the product of all that gay stuff that is ...

About 7 months ago my face started to tingle. I’ve always had bad anxiety about my health so that tingling caused me great distress. I worried about it for about 5 months and then I was fine for about 2. Recently it’s come back along with weakness in my legs, my left arm is weak and my elbows hurt and tingle. My back hurts and so does my neck, I’m tired all of the time ...

So here I am again, worried that I might not have OCD, and that I'm an actual p**ophile. I was trying to do okay, but I started thinking and worrying, and before I knew it, I had broken down and gone to Google Images again to look up pictures of nudist families and toddler aged girls as a way of gaging my reaction.

Spoiler alert, it didn't help.

I'm just so scared, you guys. I ...

Hi Everyone,
This is kind of hard to explain, but I hope someone can help. I've been experiencing this feeling where I suddenly become acutely aware of my own thoughts and my consciousness. Like I'm seeing myself for the first time, or observing my consciousness/self from the third person, but inside my own mind. In other words, I'm hyper-aware of myself/my existence. The episodes are very distressing and cause a great deal of anxiety. I ...

I can’t live my life anymore. I spend my days on Google, looking for reassurence and check my body for any sign of attraction or arousal.

I’ve already wrote a post here.
I’m a 21 years old girl, I always had crushes on boys.
It’s been almost a year and nothing change, it got worse.
Sometimes I have these thoughts but I’m able to pay not much attention to them and everything is fine, but ...
