News of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Forum

A few years ago I was obsessing whether there was illegal images of minors on the regular internet..?
One day I was having a really bad time whilst I was on the computer doing whatever I was doing at the time, and the question of is there images etc on google and are they easily accessible and so on kept going around in my mind and driving me nuts. I then snapped, I said...'argghhhh, if ...

Hi, I have a question about intrusive thoughts before climax.

I was masturbating and I became really aroused and before getting close and couldn't not feel if I was in the piont of no return because of an intrusive thought that came up into my head, I tried to get rid of this thought and it went away but suddenly all of my attention went to my genitals and I felt that I was orgasming ...

Hi everyone,
I've been writing on this site before but on the forum for us who suffer from BDD.
My BDD is related to my hair as I'm totally fixated with the way my hair looks, If my hair looks fine I will have a good day, I will feel relaxed and will be able to concentrate and do other important stuff than being bothered with the thought of looking ugly and unpresentable. But if ...

Howdy guys,
My mother and I both have generalised anxiety disorder, and we were both able to help each other manage well, but over the past 3 months she has started to develop OCD too. She washes her hands several times in a row, changes her clothes at least three times a day, drives in loops after work, and throws away most of her anxiety medication, saying that there's something wrong with their appearance and ...

So, I masturbate every night and before I go to bed, I look at images of cartoon/anime porn because I like it. The characters are over 18. I also look at real porn as well with adult women – it’s lesbian porn I look at.

Speaking of the cartoon/anime porn I look at, I’m in one fandom that has a female character who’s apparently 14-years old. I look at porn of the characters from this ...

I've posted here on and off for years about my TOCD and I still can't tell if this is OCD or if I'm a closeted transwoman or not.

The main piece of evidence I have is the fact that I've had other OCD fixations before this (POCD, worrying about being a zoophile, attraction to family members, meteors hitting the earth, etc.). And I keep fixating on the "why do I get anxious when I look ...

I'm a 30 year old female, diagnosed with depression and anxiety since my early teens, and have had symptoms of OCD in various forms since childhood. A few years ago I finally got an OCD diagnosis and started medication, which helped a lot at first, but I've still had occasional flares and am currently feeling worse than I have in a long time. I usually try to avoid posting on forums about this because I ...

Hi! I hope all is well for everyone!

I'm really going through it at the moment, and would really appreciate some advice and support.

I'll start by saying that I'm a gay man in his '30s, and I do suffer with severe bouts of POCD. At the moment, I'm pretty chill with it, and have handled most intrusive thoughts with stride, except for the one that blindsided me, today.

So, the initial memory that I ...

I need honest feedback. I am so desperate and scared. For reference I am a 19 year old female.

When I was 11 to 14 years old I got into heavy porn use. I used have roleplay with pedophiles and read/watch loli, cub and shota porn regularly until I learned it was a tools used by groomers and I forced myself to stop. I learned that pedophiles are ashamed of their attraction but that they ...

Hi,
Obviously I know nobody can give a diagnosis at all and I will discuss with a GP or my mental health team at some point but just wondering if anyone who does have OCD can identify with what I'm experiencing.
A little history.. I've always had some obsessive compulsive tendencies. When I was a teenager I would regularly get 'if I dont do xyz then xyz will happen..' type thoughts but fortunately these seemed ...
