Ok here goes, I seriously just spent an entire hour. Maybe even more typing out this huge explantion to kind of get some feedback on whether or not I sound like I could be ocd, then wam my computer crashed.

Hi all,
I have two things to ask about if you are interested in either.

First, I was looking into the causes of my emotional problems as a child (which developed into OCD), because I had behavior problems when there was no traumatic event, my family was loving, and my home life stable. The only thing that I can figure is the catalyst may be prenatal. My mother drank when she was pregnant with me ...

Hi Everyone:)

The first paragraph is just me off loading (so feel free to ignore it, the second paragraph is the question I'd like to hear thoughts on).

I have pretty severe OCD (diagnosed by a psychiatrist and on medication) - basically I get these very violent thoughts (sometimes of a sexual nature). I imagine doing depraved things to people and I feel so incredibly guilty afterwards because I wonder if I am actually fantasising ...

Hey everyone!

Just some background...
I've been coping with OCD since the age of nine. I've run the gamut of issues, starting with sexual and religious obsessions, hair pulling, a sort of odd geometric compulsion that involved tracing the outlines of shapes in my mind for hours, bulimia, etc.

I do like a ritual where I put my hands under hot water to test and see how hot it is ...

I've searched through many boards trying to find a group of people who seemed to actually have OCD. I've always been interested in meeting other people who deal with much the same things I do. As well I want to sympathize. I believe the mind is an incredibly powerful tool and one you can ultimately control.

I'm still very much so OC although now I find that I can focus that vast amount of mental ...
