Hi i am 29 years old and since around two to three weeks i feel like i am losing my mind, like i am going crazy.

I have had OCD my whole life. It started out as perfectionism, then germs, then rituals to prevent harm and now it has turned into intrusive thoughts. The intrusive thoughts are geared toward vulnerable sections of the population.

Because of the intrusive thoughts I am literally terrified of doing anything wrong. I don't really leave the house, and restructure my day to avoid any possible scenario where something could go wrong.
Everything from the clothes ...

Okay. Phew. This is a long one and it’s my first time on here. This is my story. As to whether this all truly is all OCD or not I honestly do not know and all I want is to just get better cause I’m sick of waking up everyday not able to be able to feel like I’m living. When I was a kid, I always did weird $#%^. I don’t mean that in ...

Hi, I am seriously helpless as to what to do here so I thought I'd share my experience and see if anyone can offer me advice.

I'll start from the beginning.

This started when I was 18 and saw a 12 year old girl in a TV show and experienced a groinal response. Before that I had never thought of kids in a sexual way or really at all.

Hi, I am still getting the thoughts every day.

I can't take it.

I want to be a man, I don't want to become a woman.

This is a really messed up and complex post but here goes...

I'm suffering from a lot of anxiety, trauma at PTSD triggered by stuff I've done online in the past. And I want to come 100% clean.

It started when I was 10-12 years old. I started off with getting into art and drawing my favourite cartoon characters. Then around the same time I went down the rabbit hole of searching for ...

Since at age of 15, I started to have HOCD. I've had symptoms, including checking whether my attraction to men was real or false, constantly checking whether I was attracted to women or not. I also begun checking my past whether I had attraction to women earlier in life. I watched lesbian porn for the first time at the age of 12 and never had any homosexual fantasies. My false attractions to women went really ...

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure the general sub here is the best place for this. I looked through all of the specialized forums, and none of them seemed to be a good fit for the question I have. This is my first post, so I apologize if this is the wrong place. Perhaps a mod, when reviewing, could move it if they feel it is appropriate.

I'd like to provide a little background that may ...

I have OCD, and I obsess over fictional characters all the time in weird ways though. You see when I get obsessed with a fictional character, if someone draws them in a way I don’t like I get very depressed or very upset.
