News of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Forum

Hi all, I hope you’re keeping safe and well in this crazy world we are finding ourselves in.

I apologise in advance if this is quite a long message. I also appreciate it that it may well come across as asking for reassurance, but I’m not sure where else to go. I’m hoping by just writing about it will help, but if in any way this post, or any replies I am kind enough to ...

Hi everyone. I’m new to this forum. At the moment I’m struggling a lot and I wanted to come here to maybe get some support because I can’t see a professional right now due to the current situation going on in the world. Anyway, this is going to be very weird and maybe triggering to some so I’m just warning everyone now. I suffer from pretty bad intrusive thoughts, but I’m used to It and ...

I'm so god damn tired of this #######5 ass condition I'm having. I'm tired of it all. Every time I just wanna rest but it keeps on coming.

Now I'm suffering a different problem, I read a post today about a sex offender p*do who told his story of how he came to be p*do. He simply found boys 'cute' and considered their faces 'pure', all those words make me feel like I wanna vomit. ...

Hello, sorry if this is going to be really long... but i really need help
I'm a 16 year old female, and have always been boy crazy. I never really questioned my sexuality until one day my best friend told me she's bi. And that night the thought just popped up to me "what if I'm also bi ?". I think what also triggered this was that she was talking to me about how nervous ...

Hi,

I'm wondering if any of you with sexual obsessions have had a similar experience. When I have intrusive thoughts, I get this sensation which feels drastically different from real sexual arousal (unpleasant stinging/tingling/aching in the genital area) which I assume is what people refer to as Groinal Response.

HOWEVER, even though it is really different from real arousal, it seems to make the nerves down there extra sensitive, so if I start stimulating them ...

Some years ago (i was 18+ at the time) I was in closer online contact with a very skilled artist who made Horror images. I was impressed by their artistic skill and flattered that they would interact with me, so i frequently shared their non-graphic images, and left nice comments sometimes.

The artist later started to post images that made me more uncomfortable. Nowadays I do no longer support them and I am trying to ...

Hey guys, I'm a 20 year old female and I've been struggling with what I think is HOCD for about 7 months now and I'm going crazy. I keep checking to see if I'm attracted to every other female I see, even in TV shows which makes it impossible for me to watch them. Some of the things I ask myself are "can you imagine being with her?", "do you want to kiss her?" etc. ...

Hi everyone,

I am a 21-year-old guy and have a bad case of intrusive thoughts and religious obsessions (not very strong though).

For a while now I have been having strange, recurring thoughts related to consuming and how that consuming can affect people around the world. it's particularly focussed around things I like. It started with some conspiracy theories about COVID 19 and how it is intentionally done to establish control on people and force ...

After being on different medications for her severe anxiety, depression and OCD thoughts of hurting herself (hitting her head) my daughter was put on 80mg of fluoxetine about a year ago. It's not working well anymore. She takes propronol at night to help her relax which really doesn't help and she can take 5 mg of xanax up to three times a day when needed which she normally takes at night. I don't know what ...

I'm really struggling to cope at the moment.

On top of this, I am experiencing an increase in the number of paedophilia related thoughts (pocd).

On one level I honestly just want to get lobotomized or commit suicide to make this go away.

I hate having such a nasty horrid broken brain. Honestly it is not normal to be getting these disgusting twisted thoughts and I do not want them. I am not a paedophile, ...
