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.

I don’t know what to do I’ve been seeing this guy for roughly 4-5 months and I like him so much like he could be the one. He was in town for something for most of the time we’ve been seeing each other but he recently moved back to his state which is pretty far away. I’m absolutely terrified that I’m going to accidentally get an STD from somewhere like a toilet seat or the other day after taking the bus home I forgot to wash or sanitize my hands before wiping plus I’ve had coworkers and even my roommate admit that they’ve had chlamydia and one has HSV. I’m terrified that I’ll get something and he’ll think I cheated and we’ve both been hurt like that before and I wouldn’t want to put him through that or have him think that of me. I’ve been trying to not google anything or go to the doctors bc those are my compulsion and reassurance seeking things but nothing is helping it’s to the point I don’t want to use the bathroom or do anything does anyone have any tips to help it’s starting to effect my life I know this isn’t possible but I keep thinking it would just be my luck that I’d the odd one out it does happen to

I know this might sound silly but since I lost my virginity I'm constantly scared I'm pregnant even tho i have my periods. This month I didn't get it and every time a new month starts I say to myself if you don't get your period this month it means ur pregnant. Ps I haven't had any sexual activity for 6 months now and since then I got my periods except February. Also I've spent alot of money on blood test to confirm if I'm pregnant or not and all of them came back negative. Lastly I have bruises on my stomach cause everytime I wake up and I go to bed I press my abdomen hard to see if I can detect any abnormalities which indicate pregnancy. Anyways I'm not sure if this ocd or not since it feels dif that any other themes.
