News of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Forum

I'd like to know if and/or how OCD would be linked towards excessive acts of aggression towards family members, or if the person has some other darker personality disorder at work. I recently posted a similar discussion on the Anti Social Personality Disorder board.

My mom-in-law began verbally attacking my children and using profanity on them when my eldest child was 2. He had gotten finger prints on her fridge door.

Hi all,

A very close friend of mine was diagnosed with OCD a few months ago and I was hoping there might be someone out there who wouldn't mind helping me understand some aspects of the disorder, as he's very reluctant to talk about it.

I just want to say in advance that I'm incredibly sorry if I offend anyone or come across as patronizing or ignorant in any way - I just feel completely ...

My partner was diagnosed several years ago by a psychologist as having OCD, but there are many things that just don't seem to fit. The only reason he went in the first place is because I basically said I'd leave him if he didn't get help. He didn't keep going to the psychologist after the first two times. He didn't think there was anything wrong with him and thought that everything he stressed about was ...

Anyone got any sexual obsessions?

How do you deal with them?

I used to beat myself up over them, but now I'm loling about them.

Hello,

I'm a 20 year old female living in Australia. I'm feeling horrible at the moment so I decided that even though I rarely talk to anyone about my problems, its time to talk to someone or anyone.

I have always had mild ocd since I can remember, although I think that a lot of people, probably 70% have mild OCD, it really came down to cleanliness and being spoilt as I was an only ...

Since I was about 11, I stopped eating with certain knives, forks and spoons. Also using certain plates and bowls. I do it even now, I just get a bad feeling when using them.

It tends to be dainty, fragile peices, or things with certain paterns on them. I think it probably comes from when my Grandma used to cook me food as a kid, and all the plates and cutlery was old and the ...
