News of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Forum

Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum, about a week and a half ago I started having obsessing thoughts about the inevitability of death, I always had moments where I'd pause for some seconds and think about it, but they'd usually pass after 10/20 seconds and I could go back being normal.
This didn't happen the last time though, I thought about the fact that one day I'll stop existing forever and ...

When I was younger, around 14 I think, I was sharing a bed with my nephew who is 6 years younger and I touched his penis and put his hand on my penis. As far as I remember it was a one time thing with no pre meditation or malicious or sexual intent. I didn't think much of it till I got older and started comparing myself to people like Josh duggar or Lena Dunham ...

I have been dealing with intrusive thoughts and feelings for months now, but my question is can OCD actually feel like you would enjoy the thoughts?

This was all brought on by me questioning whether or not I would want to kiss a man, my initial gut reaction was no. However I still went on to mentally check if I wanted to do it. Again at first I wanted nothing to do with it, but ...

I feel as if there's no way I'm not gay anymore. There's just this absolute sincerity I feel. But when I take a look back at it, I've never liked a female in my life. I don't want to be gay. I just feel so confused because logical facts point to a no, but I'm CONVINCED that I'm gay and I just don't know why I'm feeling this way right now. It bothers me how ...

I was in therapy and I tried my best not to come on here and after a while I didn't feel the need to because it started feeling normal. I have stopped going now for about a month, but I think I should start again.

I don't want to trigger you by telling you all this but, I think the cycle is starting again for me. I got triggered yesterday by a girl I thought ...

I was just scrolling through reddit and came over a post asking when and how people first realised they are trans. A girl commented saying he didn't think about it until she was 19 and had her first girlfriend, that helped her realise she was trans.
Here's the comment:

I started having these thoughts about a year ago (17), and I realised that I am gay/bi. I'm 100% sure I'm gay. It's not possible ...

Hi, I have OCD and 2 cats. One cat I've had for a few years. After we adopted her from the shelter she was all good except when she uses the litter box she scratches and scratches at the sides of the box for a long time for no apparent reason. Recently we adopted a kitten. He was acting normal at first but now he obsessively licks and bites the end of his tail all ...

Hi I apologize for this wall of text but I need some reassurance (which I know is not the answer) as I am having a huge dilemma. Some of the details are a little blurry so bear with me.

I am a 22 year old hopefully straight male and I have been dealing with fears that I am gay since on and off seemingly since I was 12 years old. I can remember having crushes ...
