As I write this I am sitting outside on my porch. My whole life has been ruled by something that I can understand and so far it seems like that is the OCD.I have acted convulsively my whole entire life but Wait hold on I take that back I have acted compulsively since junior year in high school With buying cigarettes or smoking pods or drinking a lot.I am trying to figure out my obsessions. I figure if I know what my obsessions are than I can change them. I just got diagnosed with this about a month ago and I was hospitalized for about six daysFind my thoughts make me feel like a terrible person. Not really a terrible person but kind of like Ashamed I guess. I have gained a lot of weight because I am on antipsychotics For schizophrenia. I'm not sure which diagnosis it is I think it is both of them low for me.

I have felt impulsive and fast my whole life and recently accepted my OCD diagnosis although I cannot always relate to the exact situation someone is dealing with, I had found it comforts me knowing I'm not alone in this crazy, loop hole, intrusive thoughts OCD life. Also I have found ttalking and my OCD makes me feel stronger and more in control. The stories do not need to be the same, but the feelings and spirals we all go through is helpful for me. We are here for you!!

I know that sounds a bit harsh, but people with OCD think very differently then everyone else and we do strange things. I used to think OCD was just that we overthink to much and have compulsions to fix it, but its kinda alot more than that i realise. Like peoples lives are legit debilitated from this thing. Thats serious and i dont think others realise that. Mabye im concerned too much idk.

I have experienced every theme that can be added to post but I’m currently experiencing those. So I am on the spectrum and I happen to have a high sensory profile and it definitely gives the ocd more to latch unto. I would see a pretty female with makeup done and it eatssss and I would notice the facial symmetry + how her features compliment each other and my ocd would be like why did you notice she is pretty, BECAUSE I HAVE EYES😭! I can’t be the only neurodivergent person that notices details and how attractive people are intensely? I do not even care about orientation but I know for sure if I was into women, it won’t just start plaguing me one evening Im my head shouting “you are gay” like man Im a female at least say you are a lesbian 😭😂😂😂😂. How can I genuinely have no interest and get outrightly repulsed by females sexually and romantically. It feels like I am being forced to be something im not. I tried accepting i am lesbian but I experienced more anxiety and could not sleep till I accepted i am still straight and it is ocd playing with me(ocd leave me alone, I don’t even enjoy playing with you) I accepted i am a lesbian like ocd said I should but why do I still love my ex and hope I marry him😭 + I couldn’t bring myself to be interested in females. OCD leave me alone because I don’t enjoy this game again! I’m not homophobic at all but denouncing Im straight doesn’t feel like home and I still find myself yearning for only men

I think I have mild OCD. Maybe that's why I can't relate to many of the difficulties experienced by other posters. My OCD is more on the compulsion side performing certain rituals at key transitions or points during the day. I honestly cannot figure out what the underlying obsession is other than some kind of weird mental hoarding to acknowledge and cherish a moment but also to protect my family and even my pets. I get little or no anxiety (I used to when I was younger). Even mild OCD absolutely sucks and is debilitating to an extent.
