I literally was sipping sparkling water and I immediately get this thought “Is this what p**** taste like?” Ugh. OCD is a creative jerkwad.
Same, I've been having thoughts of "oh I want to kiss my best friend" and it makes me nauseous. I hate it I'm sorry you are going through this
@Viny I’ve been there! Had random thoughts about my best friend too and my coworkers and now even family members (which is new). I’m sorry you’re going through this too!!
@krelia OCD tends to twist everything lol sometimes you just gotta laugh at it fr
@Anonymous That’s what I’m learning I just started to laugh a little 😂 sometimes those thoughts scare me, others pass by, but this one was weird and a little funny
@krelia I’m 35 years old I’ve been dealing with it my whole life essentially starting as like the stove and appliance theme and now it’s just jumping around, like all Over there’s no real theme it just depends on the week lol
@Anonymous I’m 25! I got diagnosed in November of 2023 and struggled with SOOCD and ROCD but honestly I think I’ve had it my entire life. I had an obsession with needing others approval and experienced perfectionism and harm ocd. It got really bad with SOOCD and ROCD I think because it was two months before I got married 😂 now I have themes combining with each other but SOOCD and ROCD fitting into them. It’s so stupid
@krelia How are you now ? I feel it to trust me there’s days where there unbearable and others where I’m like ehhh I’m good.. sitting in the anxiety is what I’m learning to do and it can be hard, depending on the theme!! You doing erp !!
@krelia Yep, like the dude below said. We need to learn to laught about it
@Viny Same here. It’s this “what if I see my friend who is across the country and fall in love with her?” Bro?? No?? We both have bfs 😭shut up
@Anonymous I’ve been doing okay. Had a relapse a while back in December and I’ve just been dealing with feelings and urges. Especially just this overwhelming feeling of doubt. I’m meeting with a psychiatrist Tuesday to get medicated. My compulsions are a little rough especially with Rumination as well as reassurance seeking. I’m getting there. I just wanna enjoy my life and my boyfriend
@krelia Well I hope It gets better and better !! Is erp doing good for you ?
@Anonymous It is for the most part. I’m dealing with a divorce and struggling with all kinds of emotions that are adding to my ocd. It’s been tough but I think I just need time and meds
@krelia I never been a medicine kind of guy… But every once in a while, I wonder if I should try, but I’m just trying to stick to ERP. I seen a therapist for the first time the other day and I see her twice next week… My grandpa died last December, and it seems like that’s when things started going downhill the most
@Anonymous I’m so sorry to hear about your grandpa. That’s awful. I hope therapy goes well for you and ERP!
@krelia Thank you 🙏🏼
@LiaExe28 True!!!!! It's annoying as hell like a bully just installed himself in my brain
@Anonymous Sorry for you loss man
@Viny Thank you it’s been rough that was the man who raised me
Ugh I know exactly how you feel. I had a tuna melt for lunch the other day and I’m sure you can imagine the thought my brain came up with. They make me nauseous!!!
@LV4523 I hate that for you!!! What’s funny was I had tuna today and thought nothing but when I took a sip of this nasty water thing that’s when it popped up! This theme sucks 😂
god i relate so much to this. it hits on the most random moments
@ichooseme Yep how long you been deal with ocd ??
@ichooseme Most random moments forreal!! I thought it was kind of funny but it was a little scary at first!
@krelia Yep it’s awful fr!!! What part of the country are you ?
@Anonymous I’m on the east coast!
@Anonymous like since 2021
Yess sometimes its so ridiculous! 😭
@mightyspencer It is!! What sucks too is the overwhelming feeling of doubt with no thoughts. Ugh
I’ve had many types of OCD, but I gained control over them over the years, but a new one has started to arise. Do y’all ever have scary thoughts about something you might do? Recently I’ll get extremely uncomfortable no matter where I am because I can’t stop thinking about “what if I screamed really loud in my lecture class tomorrow?” And other stupid stuff like that. Also, this one is kind of funny, but sometimes when I use the bathroom I pause before because I think “what if I’m actually in class right now?” I also cannot control the thoughts about past embarrassing moments. I know everyone does, but I will become visibly uncomfortable and harp on something from years ago. This happens all throughout the day. Also, does anyone else do things that resemble tics when you get these thoughts. Like when they happen I’ll curse under my breath or like jerk my head a little bit. When I’m in public I keep it low key but when I’m alone sometimes I’ll physically get up and pace or something when those thoughts happen. Just curious if anyone has had these experiences
Last night I was self pleasuring. I didn’t set out to think about anything weird but as I was doing it some pocd thoughts were in my brain. I did not get off to them, but I could have. Idk why that is but it is. Idk what to do and idk why I am this way. Is there some science about the brain while aroused or is it possible that the more gross or taboo something is I can like it?? Idk, just want to know if anyone can relate.
I deal pretty heavily with this. The last couple days, I’ve had what I think are urges. Something pops into my head intrusively and then what stems from that is me WANTING to just indulge in it even though it’s gross. I get worried bc I used to struggle w thoughts about my dad for a long time until eventually I just purposely thought of him while self pleasuring and got off to it. While that’s something I did, it is NOT me. It all stemmed from my mental health declining a couple years back, I was never this way before. So I get worried that it almost happened or might happen with my pocd cuz I could never live with myself if it did.
