News of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Forum

I'm at that point where I feel like I'm going to break and my anxiety has decided that I'm not allowed to ever be happy. Maybe that's true and it's honestly what I deserve for my past actions. I know that I need to talk to a therapist, but like I've mentioned in some of my previous posts there aren't any in my area.

This post is going to be all over the place and ...

I don't know much about OCD, but I do have Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) which is similar to OCD apparently. And with the mental health issues I have, I inevitably suffer with awful anxiety and depression also. But I was curious to find out if these symptoms of mine, might be OCD? I get bad intrusive thoughts... of mostly two kinds, one being unwanted intrusive sexual thoughts whenever someone physically touches me which causes me ...

Hi all, I am a female in my mid-20s and been suffering from OCD for the past five years, mostly sexual obsessions with some health stuff thrown in. I finally got diagnosed back in December and started seeing a therapist back in January.

However, I have not been able to get ERP to work for me. My therapist helped me write out scenarios to focus on and told me to read them over and over ...

To be honest, I was very hesitant to talk about this issue here because I felt embarrassed and that it didn't make sense but I feel recently now's the time I REALLY need to talk about my thoughts because they've become exhausting and stressful lately. I also want to know if this is related to OCD or not.

Ok, so I'm rather addicted to other people's opinions, namely reviewers on the internet, on subjective stuff ...

I am a young girl and think i may be suffering from HOCD ever since I was really small I have had crushes on boys up until recently. I always imagined scenarios in my head with boys and couldn't wait to have a boyfriend and got butterflies around them.

Hey you guys...I cannot sleep and I am very stressed out right now. It has been the worst week of my life and I just need to vent. I need opinions, thoughts, anything. it may be long but please hear me out.

I have this deep pain and anger that comes up of being falsely accused.

I know it's connected to my childhood when my father would abuse me physically even though I didn't do anything wrong.

I hate that I have OCD. Since I was a teen it keeps me from fully enjoying life. I know exactly what would make me happy and while for another person it's easy to accomplish, for me its hard or even impossible. OCD just ruins my life. I'm dependant on meds to not completely go crazy.

Who can relate to this?
