I’ve experienced Harm OCD and Existential OCD quite badly these last few months. But my latest concern is that I don’t actually have OCD and I’m just saying that to reassure myself. Anyone else have this issue??

I also fear insanity quite a lot which is very hard.

Yes I have this all the time, do you mean where it feels like you don’t have OCD and you are just mad? If so I have it all the time

Bluestars, others, especially people that mean the most to me.

Bluestars, Sexual OCD is awful and I’ve had it badly at times too. Just remember that the thoughts are all OCD talking, not you brain talking.

I knowwww me too!!! So annoying! Sometimes I wish I had a close friend that suffers from it so we could keep eachother accountable and rant about it!!! ?

We’re all close friends on here! Close OCD friends! ?

Sexual ocd seems like a dream compared to my ocd right now ? weird how it shifts.....

Aw I only just downloaded this app but I love it already. I hope it doesn’t become a compulsion for me though!!

I wondered for long time if I had psychosis ...nope. Just stupid ocd. My harm ocd is rough and really makes me doubt my every move :(

Me too!!!! Seriously my every move! I am here for you girl :)

I know it totally does suck! Mine sucks too bc the person I worry about hurting is with me 24/7 and sometimes I feel like there is no way I can keep myself safe bc what if I snap, etc. terrible!

Same. I’m so sorry :( I have the thoughts and feelings towards my toddler. It’s the absolute worst and I can’t stand even typing that out. But I understand how you feel completely

What thoughts are you having?

OCDBoy55, mad as in insane or angry? If it’s insane, then yes.

Yes insane

Bluestars, it’s been better recently. For the last month I’ve feared harm OCD after reading an article on it that triggered me. But once I came to grips on the fact that I have it, I became less afraid. These last couple days have been fine but I’m scared that I never had OCD / don’t have it anymore and I was just saying I did as an excuse. Is this normal?

OCDBoy55 yeah exactly. And the movie ‘fightclub’ triggered me a lot too.

It was normal for me. Do you have harm ocd with others or yourself?

Yeah, my main obsession was triggered purely from a movie! Ridiculous how such a little film can pretty much trigger a life time illness

I had sexual ocd that was so intense I couldn’t hang out with my mom or sister without feeling like I was sexually aroused. Total hell. Now I know it was just OCD, but now I am struggling with suicidal ocd and existential ocd plays into that. Not fun!!!!

OCD sucks. But one of the worst things is how the media portrays it as a joke or a need for tidiness. That makes me so upset and angry.

Yeah did you guys see the boohoo top that was made called like Obsessive Christmas Disorder? That really pissed me off

It shifts so fast but the grass is always greener I guess

Hahah it has for me but to me it’s healthy bc it reminds me of truth!

The app I mean haha

Yeah I get you. Thanks though for replying to my original point, it means a lot. We’re going to be okay, we’ve just gotta stay strong ?xx

Thank you ❤️ it sucks to think I’m a monster or want to do these things. I get so hung up on trying to figure it out
