News of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Forum

Hi everyone,

I know I have already written here several times, but my TOCD (I hope so) has been horrific lately... My brain keeps telling me that this is what I am now, that I am a woman trapped in a man's body, even though this is the last thing I would like in my life, I rather die now than this. However anytime those thoughts come to my mind now, it feels like I ...

I had one date with a girl, then I invited her to eat, she told me she would tell me what she had decided. Hours later she told me she wouldn't come (she was working and didn't know what time she would leave).

On the next day I asked to have a phone call with her (to clear my mind), she was waiting a call from her work. 40 minutes later she sent me a ...

Hi,

So I have taken sometime of forums for a while to get better through therapy.

From my understanding of Hocd is a person has unwanted thoughts that plague you everyday. Many therapists have told me that Ocd thoughts aren’t true but I get the impression from people on here on there replies about Hocd that they can realise they are Gay.

I just don’t know how this is possible with all the therapy I ...

My OCD has started to become very very disturbing

The other day I freaked out that I might have sexually harassed a woman downstairs by standing next to her. Its so ridiculous that I had to spend all evening trying to remember what exactly happened to prove to myself that I did not commit a crime.

Lately its getting even worse.. I keep having thoughts that I was violent with people when I was in ...

Whenever this happens to me, I wish I could just do something to stop it from getting any worse. However, I always end up feeling like I'm in the backseat just watching as I develop another obsession that will last for god knows how long.

Do I just have to ride it out? Or can I nab it during the first few days?

My OCD used to be about my fear of being a pedophile or being trans, the common stuff. However, they have taken on another turn. For the past 2 months, I have had obsessive thoughts over the online animation Hazbin Hotel and because of that I have found it hard to even take myself seriously. I have also developed a fear of developing stupid obsessions because of that. Just yesterday I had the thought "it ...

I have a question for you people diagnosed with POCD, when your obsessive thoughts don't consume you, do you find yourself just naturally being attracted to who you're supposed to be attracted to because the obsessive thoughts aren't there to make you doubt it as much?

For example, I was really attracted to a guy my age for ages and thought about him all the time and wanted to do things with ...

Hello everyone,
Before I start, I should mention that I am not officially diagnosed because I am scared shitless of not having OCD and that I'm just ###$ up in the mind.

So basically after getting a groinal response to a picture of a naked child around a year ago, I have been struggling with obsessive thoughts as to whether or not I'm a pedophile or not. This isn't the first time I've had groinal ...

Hey!

I suffer from pure O and especially from the form where a thought has to be right at a certain time. For example when ruminating when I m driving a car, the thought has to be concluted or right before I pass by a road sign or when I m surfing online, I cant go to a new web page if I havent ”undone” the bad thought. Sometimes I use this method to undone ...

Hi Everyone,
I am 32 YO male, I suffered from what was diagnosed as OCD for almost my entire life,
I started meds for this purpose since 2011 and used all types and classes of psycho-pharmaceuticals including SSRI, TCA's, anxiolytics, atypical anti-psychotics and more I don't remember anymore, Also I tried the CBT, Accelerated CBT and ERP in different centers with different doctors, I can't say there were no benefit at some point from doing ...
