My OCD gives me this constant fear that I could be pregnant even though I have never had sex. When I’m with my boyfriend and I’m in his lap and we’re doing nothing but kissing I am afraid that sperm is somehow going to get near me and can get me pregnant, even with 4 layers of clothes between us. It’s very frustrating, especially since I know it’s impossible. The what if’s just make me miserable.

Wow i had this one too. These posts are so relatable and make me realize there are so many more symptoms in my past that I never associated with OCD but make perfect sense now.

This was my fear in high school and dissipated as I got older. The event that actually really brought out my OCD was after I hooked up with a guy (not sex) and feared I could get pregnant if something got on me. I would take pregnancy tests and everything. It was awful. It’s Contamination OCD. Sorry you’re going through this. It sucks because I’m sure you just want to enjoy time spent with your boyfriend without the constant worry.

@shishi I do the same, I look back at things I’ve done in the past and just now realize it’s OCD. It makes me sad because not many people understand what OCD is until it progresses to a point where it’s causing trouble. I just think now how if we were more familiar with what OCD was (awareness) we could nip it in the bud before it progresses to a point where we’re having trouble functioning. Ya know?

I had this one for a long time, but a little modified. I am a guy, so my fear was always getting someone pregnant, even though I was not sexually active.

@ashleyLM yes seriously. I just wish my family knew the implications of OCD so maybe they wouldn’t have constantly judged/interrogated me for always looking or acting guilty, avoiding triggering situations, calling me a hypochondriac, rushing me to make decisions.... so many more things could have helped but I just have to realize that it’s somehow made me stronger.

R-OCD...cheating fears

Currently I have several different OCD fears that pop up throughout the week depending on the situation. I've noticed a commonality between all of them are the fears relating to memory/false memory. Today is the ROCD struggle I've been dealing with. I know OCD has been trying this on me lately because of how much I love my spouse. They are my absolute best friend and she's my world. I value our marriage and friendship more than anything. OCD has latched onto one specific female coworker. And I don't even know why because even if I were single I wouldn't be into her. Even still, OCD makes me think I've cheated on my wife every time I'm alone with this coworker at work. Always starts as a what if, followed by imagery, followed by feelings that I must've actually done something and can't remember it. Usually fearing I've kissed her. It hurts because I know I'd never do that to my wife and I love her so much...the idea of losing her kills me, especially if it were the result of something I did. Just wanted to vent. Feel free to share your experiences or vents as well
