But all the thought lol?? You also deal with them? In my case it's like If I accidentally stare at someone's private part my mind says you're attracted to them or you want to touch them in a way I would never like

@nrtaewh I get that all the time. It is definitely frustrating but I try to tell myself that I can control my actions and not my thoughts all though my thoughts terrify me sometimes I have to remind myself of my character and actions although ocd attacks that also you are stronger than it and you will be okay

Iām not sure if itās a subtype, I feel like itās more of a compulsion than anything. Sometimes when I fear that I find a man attractive, Iāll wanna stare at him or continuously look at him. I think for me itās a compulsion because Iām tryna make sure Iām not attracted to him or justify why I might think heās attractive.

Thank you for your positive reply. I getting better now. I am really confident and happy about myself. I realised that love ourselves is the most important thing in life. I started to love myself š¤... It made so much changes in my life. So be cool and stay positive, because now I believe each and every person has reason to born in this world and each of the person has their uniqueness. I found myself even it is after a long time. We need to hope that the life will come to you as you wish. One day, a one day will change you as like happening in my lifeš

Hey Pravya, it's our thoughts which make us feel bad, for people who doesn't have any ocd they wouldn't even care if they look at someone or stare it's us people with ocd who look at it as something big yk, I don't know what's your thoughts when you stare at someone but don't worry too much, and say what if it is?

Ys I know it's all about our thoughts. But i need to know how to control these instructive thoughts. When I am doing anything, i am curious about what others doing who sit next to me and in the situation of talking i can't focus on what they are saying and instead of that I'm standing like a piece of stone š„. Before i knowing about the ocd problem, i was really stressed about my future with this uncertainty of my life. I couldn't share my weird feelings to anyone even my parents and i was hating more and more myself. Because of this I cried alot lonely. I searched everywhere how can i handle this. With the zero answer about myself, now iam relieved that i am not only a person who suffers from this type of sickness. I consulted a psychiatrist and he prescribed the medicines and advised me to take ERP therapy. Now i am trying to handle my life. I think i can success in this struggle journey to conquer my OCD.

You've got it girl!! Don't worry, we are all on this journey together we will get better. And what I have learnt or worked for me is to sit with uncertainty and uncomfortable because doing compulsions will only make difficult for you. and don't even think you are alone in this there are thousands of people who have the same problem, and crying? Thats all right cry as much you want, even when i found out that i have ocd i was so scared and didn't know what to do, i wanted to tell my parents but i was scared so i cried it all out. I'm happy that you consulted a psychiatrist, all the best with your journey and don't think too much. I hope you have a great day.if you ever need to talk to someone you can leave a reply under this post<3 (Sorry for the late reply)

Social Implications of OCD
Has anyone experienced their reputation affected or misunderstood because of a societally taboo OCD theme? Others catching wind of your obsessions and misinterpreting it, assuming the worst? Iām intentionally keeping it vague because I donāt want my specific situation to get reassured, but itās been a real tough pill to swallow knowing that people close to me (and anyone else they might talk to) think of me differently. Iām unwilling to share about my OCD because I feel pretty confident it will be taken as an excuse or denial, and feels compulsive and reassurance seeking. Let me know if anyone here has experienced anything like it, how they handled it, exposures you did.

I need you peopleš!
please i need someone to share experiences... - that a certain facial expression of a person to whom ocd is attached causes a lot of thoughts that are connected to that facial expression, and that the images in your head are very detailed, and that they have a sound, words, and that you have a feeling of some kind of crawling from the groin all over your body?
