please help.

I usually don’t write this much in the detail, but now I’m really scared, please help. So I had this “basic” intrusive thought if you don’t do that that will happen and of course I couldn’t resist and did it. But the problem is the thing I did is to put in mouth just a little (i mean really just a little) body lotion. In the past my I was really scared of getting anything like that in my mouth. Really scared. When I did put (really just a little lotion) in my mouth I immediately spit it out. But then my other side of ocd started acting up and I started to panick. Now i’m VERY scared i’ll get posioned and die. I researched a lot on google, and now I feel like I’m having some of the symthoms. I should go to sleep now, but I can’t forget this. Is there anything to worry about? (thank you for every answer, this is kind of embarrasing)

Take some deep breaths, pause your research, and set a timer for 1 hour. During the timer, try to just watch something on tv or go for a safe walk with music if you can.

In my past experience, my ocd was always making me do things I didn’t want to sometimes stuff like your mentioning. The thoughts may be in control but you control the rest meaning your actions. the awareness that you are not your ocd, separate the two. You are building yourself to be a ocd conquer but sometimes you might have times where it feels like you give in and that’s ok! Nothing is embarrassing when it comes to OCD cause there’s so many people (including me) that go or have gone through similar stuff. You rock!

First of all don’t be embarrassed! Compulsions like that are so very hard to quit. I know, as a young kid I would have to put paper and food off the floor in my mouth just so “something” else wouldn’t happen. It went as far as garbage one day. I told myself I’m not ever doing that again and nothing is going to happen if I stopped. Eventually I stopped and nothing my OCD said would happen actually happened. I know that’s easier said than done. The little bit of lotion like you said is not going to kill you or harm you. But stay strong and do your best not to give in to the urge. OCD is full of lies!!

Google gives you information but Google doesn’t know a lot of stuff like how much you ingested and the specific details so at times it can feel scary to see what it says

Google is really good at convincing you there is something really bad going on!! I'm so sorry you are going through this. Maybe you could try telling someone, and they could help you feel more rational? :) I hope you get better soon

Just drink lots of water to flush what is in your system which is probably nothing but might make you feel better, a little bit won’t poison you. ❤️‍🩹 Big hugs

Hello everyone this is my first time writing on here and I’m really scared to even say something because I have never had proper help with ocd or been diagnosed but I’ve been dealing with severe ocd since 2017 now. I just want to get better but it feels like there is no way out at times. My most common are sexual thoughts or pocd or ocd related to my family, sexual or harm. Yesterday my niece was at my house and I adore her to bits but over the past year I’ve become very distant with her and I don’t like hugging her or touching her or just being close to her. It makes my heart break because she is everything to me and I have to push her away when she comes to hug me. Yesterday I tried to get over it and play with her again so I hugged her and sat by her side with my head on her shoulder but a sudden urge came into my mind and it was so disgusting. I kept thinking I would touch her inappropriately or without her consent and that thoughts just took over my mind. This will sound so stupid but my thumb or fist was on her back and I had a thought that it was wrong to touch her so I pulled away but the thoughts came rushing back and I let my fist be placed in that same position again. I feel so disgusted I know it’s nothing and this sounds completely insane but I feel like I’ve done something disgusting and touched her in a inappropriate way and I havent been able to get over it because it feels like I let the thoughts win and they made me do it? What if it isn’t ocd? I’m feeling like I just can’t get through the night please tell me if real event ocd happens to you guys and how to deal with it? Is this ocd or am I just this disgusting person who did something to her? I keep replaying the moment in my head but all of it is fuzzy and I can rationalize it. I just feel disgusting.

Hey guys, I'm really scared, someone PLEASE reply (POCD 18+) Okay, so tonight I was beginning to feel better about my obsessions and began to feel like maybe I was actually making progress. But I feel terrified rn, I'm scared because I used to watch hentai and cartoon stuff when I was younger, I'm 19, I would look up certain anime stuff or cartoons, but I started feeling happy that I probably stopped when I was 15. But now I'm terrified, I used to watch the tv show Big Mouth on Netflix but stopped after I started feeling uncomfortable with the show since it is really graphic. But I'm scared that I may have watched porn about the show while I was watching it. I don't really have strong memories about it but I'm terrified because that would have been when I was 16. I'm so scared, my friend said that "worst-case scenario, say you did, it's just a drawing at the end of the day" but I'm really scared. I'm really grossed out, I don't know what to do, I was just starting to maybe feel better but I don't even know anymore, I'm terrified, what do you guys think???

Health concern ocd

I genuinely think I contracted food poisoning . I had barely eaten throughout day until I got home from work . Had a sandwich and fries. I felt so stuffed afterwards , that I started to feel shortness of breath and nauseous. I felt better a little agyer but still felt full, I then stupidly continued to ate despite that. I had a pint of ice cream I had been saving since I got home. My main symptoms I’ve noticed have been Alor of dehydration, nauseo, and shortness of breath. Drinking water isn’t helping . I’m scared I’ll die in my sleep. I don’t wanna have to ruminate and get anxiety and possibly have to ask parents to rush me to hospital .
