News of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Forum

So I’m a 20 year old male and I’ve had Hocd since I was 12. Initially for the first 8 years I was desperately trying to go back to being straight and liking girls again. I used to have crushes on a lot of girls growing up. But now after feeling like I’m close to recovery I feel girls aren’t that great. I still get attractions to guys and I don’t really get bothered by ...

Supressed thoughts for about 2 months and now I can't see to think the same. I think I've had pure O before (never professionally diagnosed). I recently tried to recover this time but it seems different. At some point (about 2 weeks or so ) before I tried to stop, I started experiencing headaches on the right side of my head (mostly). I think I started straining my head or something subconciously (pretty much like ...

I think I may have a form of scrupulosity OCD (Pure O) due to my religious upbringing. Ever since my mother brought up the topic of hell and demons and being saved, I developed a fear of it and of straying away from Christianity.

I was a complicated child who wasn’t diagnosed with ADHD until around the age of 8. At 13, I was given an official diagnosis of High Functioning Autism and Auditory Processing ...

Hi

Well, I have suffered from POCD since I was 14 (today I am 19). What happens is this: until a few days ago, I knew how to perfectly differentiate a true excitement from a groinal response, but now that has changed. When I am comfortably aroused, by some normal content, I feel light chills in my legs, as well as a very good feeling in my belly and below.

Yesterday, on my Twitter, a ...

HELP!!!

My trans truth has revealed itself to me. I don't want to be a woman, I wish I could stay a man but I can't fight my trans truth :'(.

When I've been looking in the mirror today, I just see ugliness. This is a clear sign of being a transsexual.

All my mental health issues, the root cause is me being unable to accept being a transsexual. I really wish that wasn't so, ...

I have OCD and ADHD. I had classical OCD since I can remember. It became stronger until I chose to start Zoloft. My classical OCD is almost cured.

I have always had OCD-like perfectionism. It is not physically crippling like my classical OCD was, but it ruins my life. Perfectionism became stronger when I had crippling classical OCD and it did not go away with SSRIs.

I am avoidant to start things because I have ...

Hi, I have OCD since I was 10.

When I was 22, One Day I met a Girl that was 14 and sometimes I had intrusive thoughts and urges and feelings about having sex with her. It felt bad but to get rid of these thoughts I though for a about 2 seconds about having sex with her to make the feeling go away, but sometimes it came back even during sex with other adult ...

Hello I have read a lot about groinal responses, on Wikipedia it says that groinal response can cause orgasm because primitive thalamus takes thoughts just as sex not sex with particular person. But it also state that groinal response is anxiety and attention to genitals that causes Blood flow to them and physical arousal. Some of articles I have read also confirm that anxiety, selective attention and monitoring arousal in one's genitalia can increase physical ...

Hello, I am new here.

I have OCD for many years.

I have also other anxiety disorders, but besides my panic attacks and anxiety the worst one is OCD. I sometimes have a mix of two or three types of OCD for example; harm OCD with Rocd and then Hocd takes over and then Magical thinking ocd comes and the rest doesn't matter.

But my worst problem right now is groinal responses and short panic ...

Hi,

So I am struggling with obsession with a guy. I met him a while ago, but never thought anything of him until we randomly started talking online. He was so nice, attractive, smart, and funny. I have been depressed for years, but when I talked to him, I felt happy. But then he started ghosting me on and off, and he always cancelled when we were supposed to meet up. This went on for ...
