@Dothewalkoflife. Yes! I’ve just gone through a rough break up with my ex boyfriend which has caused so many groinal response and extremely bad hocd it’s so challenging especially because I have rocd and I keep thinking I was never attracted to him which is scary

@summer.rose I’ve had this exact thing. My hocd re’started’ after my breakup and it made me convinced I didn’t actually love him. But I know I absolutely did at the time

This is very normal. Your external factors that cause you stress can highten your ocd

I got this 13 years old. Now I am fifteen. I haven't got diagnosed but therapist has told me that this sounds hocd and ocd. I take meds and it has helped. My panick attacks stopped and my anxiety is better but I am still struggeling everyday. My ocd gets worse when I go to school. I just went today back to school after christmas holiday and my anxiety is so much worse. My biggest triggers are past proofs, groinal responses and my looks. I also have tocd thoughts and false memories.

@Finnishgirl I’m very similar to you. I have past proof that haunts me all the time. I get it.

@Finnishgirl I hate talking about it because it makes me feel sick. But when I was 8/9 I practiced kissing and touching with 2 other girls that were almost double my age. Loads of times. And and that age I enjoyed it (that was hard to say) And I also used to watch films with naked women in a lot because I enjoyed that too at the ages 8-10 I have loadsss of false memories of crushes. Like when I admired my bothered girlfriend because she was so pretty I now feel like what if I was in love with her. Or the friends I practice kissing with. Because it made me have butterflies or because I enjoyed it. (Sorry if I rambled. I hate talking about this. But I want to try and help you)

@Dothewalkoflife. I know its hard, I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. I hate being on tiktok because there is always lesbians who tell how they googled girls kissing or something like that and that made they realize that they were gay. I just wanna die when I hear that because I did it.

Hey. I saw a post of yours a little while ago but I can’t find it now to comment. It was about things you did when you was younger that you believed are proof. I just wanted to reach out because I have done things VERY similar quite a few times and I wanted to let you know that you are not alone. At all. I’m also struggling with things from my past as ‘proof’ and I’m scared too. I wish I could find your post because I related a lot but didn’t manage to comment. I just wanted to ask if prehaps you have been diagnosed at all?

Hi!! Thank you for writing me. I am on meds but not diagnosed yet. What about you? What is your story?

@Finnishgirl Well this all started for me at like 14. Now I’m 16 almost 17. I’ve been diagnosed (I think. My psychiatrist told me it sounds like I have the signs of ocd and I’m obsessive) although I never mentioned my theme which makes me think I don’t have hocd. I’m supposed to take meds but I’m too scared of the outcome. What’s your story ?

Gotten worse
My ocd them has gotten worse and I’m trying my hardest to not look for reassurance. Why does my mind play these tricks on me that I’m saying my thoughts out loud????? I’m trying my hardest to ignore it but it’s making me depressed. When I’m ignoring it my brain will go to “everybody will talk about you” “you said something bad” “you said it out loud and when you’ll live a terrible life”. I don’t know what to do anymore

Does it actually get better?
So I just started Zoloft 25mg almost a month ago and I’m still experiencing extreme panic and intrusive thoughts. It’s not fun, I genuinely just always think there’s no way I’ll “make it through life” living like this. And I’ve felt like this for four years straight I feel like recently it’s gotten a lot worse. Even when I feel like my brain is alittle quieter I was so obsessed w ocd that I just go right back to thinking abt it and scaring myself. Also I did ERP hated it I just started ICBT and I kinda like it. But when anyone else gets thought spirals and freaks out and has extreme panic do they have thoughts like they need to be admitted to a mental hospital and smth is seriously wrong with them? Bc the panic that comes with the ocd makes it feel soooo real and debilitating

Right now I am feeling a lot of anxiety
I am feeling a lot of anxiety and fear around what I know and what I don’t know. I also just had some a French vanilla coffee so I think this made it worse. And I should have known better. I realize I am really uncomfortable about what is out of control to the point I am very scared and nervous and I don’t know what it is about. Every time I journal I feel a strong urge to through the journal away and get a new one, in the same way every choice and decision I make it is out of fear and uncomfortableness not because it is my actual decision. So now I feel like more than ever ocd is controlling my life even though I know that what it is and that it is not something to be afraid of but I stilll constantly doubt and judge myself. I officially got diagnosed I was not sure before but what is the first step to taking back control over your life and yourself? I am on the waiting list for therapy but also I wish I could go to therapy sooner but I want someone I know I will work well with and I don’t want to rush thing because I know I will not do well at making such a big step in my own because I will overthink it so I just want to get myself to a point where I can do important things like that for myself. With school coming up I am even more stressed and worried about making the right decisions. Any tips? I would appreciate it. Also can anyone relate to this confusion and this dilemma with making important dedication like getting help and going to the doctor? Any did it make it hard to navigate school?
