Odd OCD obsessions?

Postby nevbonnie » Sun Mar 08, 2015 3:35 am

I have suffered from OCD my whole life, mostly intrusive thoughts and etc.
I have this obsession that has been plaguing me for awhile, and i cant find anyone else who feels similar.
Basically, I have this crazy idea that certain things can make you uglier. It started as sex. I have no idea why, but i came up with this crazy theory that sex and sexual acts make people uglier. like "if i give someone a blowjob, it will slightly change my face and people won't see me as attractive" and etc with all sexual acts. I have NO idea where it came from and really started to freak me out.
Lately, it's started to be with anything. Anything I touch/eat/ or do, I have this crazy feeling that it is making me uglier, and i try to find someone who i think is attractive who has done it. For example, if i eat an oreo i need to ask my friends if they eat them too to make sure that i still see them as attractive.
The one that really bothers me is germs, i feel like if I have a lot of bacteria or germs on me then I can almost feel myself getting "uglier".
I don't even know what "uglier" means, i just feel like people will not find me attractive.
My compulsions are any time i start to think about it, I always need to go take a bath and shower and scrub my body. It has become really tiring and I feel really alone and like a freak.
Anyone who has had obsessions like this who can help?

I am responding because I don't want you to think you are a freak. I have not has this kind of intrusive thought(s), but I have had similar "Freaky" thoughts - even freakier - you might say.
