News of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Forum

my story tl;dr: I'm 18, some history with ocd in the past, male "hocd" started last year around October when I heard my friend is having this issue and after a month or two I started to having exact same issue, before I thought I'm just a normal streight dude... I don't feel any attraction towards girls and I very rarely get any kind of arousal from them and if I do it's just a ...

Hi everyone

Just wanted to share my recent experiences with my struggle with what I hope to be HOCD.

I've had it for about 5 years now, and it seems to be tightening its grip on my mind, I've had a girlfriend for the last 4 years now and have had loads of girlfriends in the past but this obsession is making it really hard for me to enjoy my beautiful girlfriend whom I love ...

Hello,

I had been diagnosed with OCD in 2010 and have had numerous times when I had seen psychologists for this. The main thing they tried on me was exposure response therapy and trying to make me expose myself to doing certain things that evoke anxiety. Despite years of therapy, I cannot get myself to expose my self to the things giving me anxiety.

My main anxiety provoking situation is me destroying my brain or ...

I am a 21 year old female, who has been suffering with TOCD/HOCD for about six months now. And I am exhausted. i'm worried that I am a transguy because I'm not typically a girly girl, even though before the TOCD I was quite feminine, or that I am a lesbian. I personally don't believe that we should stick to strict sex stereotypes women can be girly or tomboy whatever they like, so the TOCD ...

Hello, all! I hope you're having a wonderful day :)

I am new to this site but not new to OCD- I have had it my whole life but was diagnosed this past summer. I went through CBT for several months and I have been handling any and all OCD triggers wonderfully. It's been tough, but so far so great until last night. I know seeking reassurance ...

I'm sorry if this is offensive, but I've got to get it out there and write about it.

It's been a few months since I've been on here and I'm still not any better when it comes to my "Sexual" OCD kinks. I went 31 days without masturbation going through the "NoFap" movement and I relapsed because I'm weak. Now when I masturbate to anything that's not just my internal fantasies I feel nothing but ...

Please Help me. i have never posted on here before but am i long term reader of other peoples posts.

I have this serous issue that i find it impossible to talk to anyone about. its very embarrassing.
i have not been able to tell my support workers about this issue as i find it so hard to open up but it is killing me inside and driving my depression.

i have been diagnosed with ...

By now I'm 100% sure that I'm gay/bi. Even the psychiatrist talks in a way that suggests me being one. She just keeps telling me what would be wrong with being gay and that's it's accepted more and more, and that I should just accept it.
I feel real arousal, attraction and everything towards guys. There is not even a slight chance of it being HOCD. It's not possible an obsession would cause all of ...

Hi there!
This is the first topic that I have posted on the internet because I was afraid of the replies I'd get...so please be gentle :). I'm a teenager old girl and I hope I am suffering from hocd. From kindergarten to now I've always had crushes on guys. It came naturally and without a doubt or thought given into it. I love kids I want ...

Hi, I'm not sure if I know exactly what "arousal" means (english is not my main language).
What I mean by arousal is that feeling that you like what you see (or hear). Even if you "hate the fact that you like it".

The reason I'm asking this is because, much like most of you, I've tested myself literally thousands of times (with masturbation or just thinking) and very rarely actually got hard or anything, ...
