Hello everyone, I am a straight male, 23 years old struggling and trying to fight off HOCD. Throughout my entire life, I have only been attracted to women. I have only imagined having sex with, kissing, holding, sharing a life with a woman. I didnt have my first girlfriend until I was 20 years old but have been together with her since then. Every minute and day has been fantastic. I couldnt express enough how ...

(Heads up: dark metaphor in beginning of second paragraph.)
I thought today was going pretty well. I managed to go shopping, I talked to a friend for several hours on the phone, I baked brownies, I watched a sort-of documentary on YouTube.

Now it's almost 7pm and so few people are actually talking to me. My SO still hasn't responded to any of my efforts to contact him. The thoughts are so awful. They make ...

Hey I've been really struggling with my OCD recently and I was wondering if I could get some advice on it.  I'll start with some background info about my OCD.  I'm currently 17 and I've been dealing with OCD for a year and a half.  My OCD fear is about contamination fears and results in hand washing.  The hand washing usually takes around 2 hours.  The problem is I haven't been honest about what really ...

i have read ocd on and off in the past and noticed something interesting in some people that apparently have it. in general, ocd can occur with depression, and if anything, it is rather common in ocd, at least in one site i had looked at, it had put down major depressive disorder as the most common commorbidity, followed by personality disorders, either the pd were most common commorbidity or the depression.

anyways, i was ...

Since February this year i've been experiencing TOCD. In the past I've experienced POCD, fear of being a murderer and fear of being addicted to anything of a sexual nature. It started when I was experiencing the sexual addiction OCD earlier this year and was fed up with it, so I decided to get professional help. Some point between the decision to get help and getting help, the sexual addiction OCD died down and I ...

I cannot tell if I have a crush on one of my friends or what. I like this one guy a lot rn and I kinda like this other guy. When I see them both I get happy, I dress nicely for them, and I flirt with them. With my friend I dress like $#%^ and just don't really care, but people think we are dating sometimes and now thats all I think about. I ...

I'm a 22 year old female who's had quite a few OCD and anxiety related issues over the last few years potentially stemming from trauma I went through when I was younger (ROCD, irrational fear of being pregnant, health anxiety, etc.) and I've been dealing with what I think is HOCD intermittently for about a year and a half, although it's gotten much worse over the past three-ish months.

A bit of history: When I ...

So, my story is quite long, but I will try and condense it.

I have seizure disorder which I am currently undergoing exams for to see if it's epilepsy. Anyway, on top of that I have complex post traumatic stress disorder and recently had a psychotic episode (late 2015 - early 2016), where I was being attacked by demons, it was most awful. Anyway, after coming this far in my recovery I'm of the mind ...

For starters, I have been diagnosed with OCD and I have been living with it for three years :( but everyday is a struggle just trying to do anything small or carrying out a small task. It seems as though every second, a new, malicious, intrusive thought pops in my head and I instantly take charge of it. Either I hold air my stomach until the the ...

Hey everyone, this won't be short and I'm looking for answers.

I believe that I am suffering from HOCD. Here's my story;

I started watching porn at around the age of 12, (I am now 20) and this soon became an addiction and I would be watching porn when I woke up, when I took my shower and when I went to bed. As many of you already know novelty always needed to be met. ...
