Ok i'll try to explain what goes on in my head:

I think of a girl my age then this happends:

I start thinking that i don't like breasts
I try to convince myself that i do but that doesn't work because i feel like i don't.
Then i say ok i like the *** then but then i start thinking that i don't like the *** because ...

Hi guys. I'm new here. I've just been so up in my head the last few days and thought I would post here and discuss things with people that would understand.

I have a lot of issues. I didn't have a horrible childhood like a lot of people with mental health issues do. I was harrassed a bit in grade school for a couple years and there was occassional verbal abuse from my father. But ...

Whenever I look up gay images on the net, I get nauscious and have to put an effort into stopping myself from puking. Anyone else experience this? My gay feelings/groinal responses feel so real, but they invoke such negative images with me. I even talked to my parents and they'd be supportive of me if I was gay, but I just don't know. I mean, if I was gay, I certainly would not be gagging ...

I started off having a fear that I was gay, didn't want to be. I was happy in straight life, getting ready to propose to my girlfriend, never had gay thoughts before. Yes was homophobic and this whole thing started off with one question "what if?". Now I'm here from an anxious mess down to numb, hollow and don't want to fight it anymore, but everyday I seem to find a way for 24 hours ...

I just started taking Prozac yesterday and I feel like nothing has changed. Still looking at guys, still getting minor groinal responses, still feel less attracted to women than I was before. How long till it starts taking effect?

Hey everyone,
I am now 19 years old and I have OCD since 11-12 years old.
I was wondering about OCDs getting in a relationship, marrying, creating families etc. I have never been in a serious relationship yet. Does OCD make things harder?
I mean, I can imagine that telling your potential partner that you have obsessive irrational thoughts and the urge to carry out a "protective" ritual can scare the s**t out of them ...

Ever since a couple of years ago i've had this recurring thought that im a sexual pervert/ or will become one. Ive thought that im a pedophile/rapist/etc... the thoughts come and go, sometimes they go for a long time. I've always been attracted to people my age throughout life and ppl older. However recently old memories are coming back of me when i was younger and it is making me feel like im perverted, for ...

So, I recently learned that the possible reason I have OCD is due to my history of childhood abuse. This information inspires both relief and anger. I'm relieved because I know the origin of all my self-torment and I feel that through CBT I can start from the beginning and destroy the "plague" (yes, I feel like OCD is a plague) from the roots... but I'm angry because this could have been completely avoided in ...
