People who want to message?

Postby ConfusedAndAfraidGuy » Fri Sep 23, 2016 11:37 am

Hi

I'm a 20 year old guy and I think I have pocd. Or at least I hope it's just pocd..

I was wondering if someone with pocd/hocd.. would want to message on these forums? My pocd feels so real and I feel like Im not sexually attracted to adults :(
I have a lot of other stress too so the pocd is making me depressed even more..

Sorry, friend. I think people just get nervous about the prospect of discussing OCD in a private message format. On a public forum you get a reassuring sense of anonymity, in person with a friend you get the safe feeling of being known. But when messaging someone you've never met, well, I think most people in most circumstances just imagine that to be uncomfortably close quarters for a mental health issue.

No need to apologize There was certainly no harm in trying, it's not like there's a rule about it written on a big stone tablet or anything. I'm just offering my best guess as to why you're not getting any takers so you won't feel it's in any way personal.
