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 ...

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. ...
