Dam bro. You are getting hit by two types ocd. It sucks having to constantly think over and over again of the same thing. If feels like you are forced to be brainwashed and having to accept everything it says, but you still try to overcome it. Hey man, have you ever tried drawing your feelings? I tried it and it relieved some anger and stress. Idk why or how, but it does a little. Some of my drawing look like they would be in a jigsaw movie, but at least it relieved me a little.

@вдик I would honestly rip the paper. It’s been that bad. I’m so scared of even telling my story as I know people on this forum will think I’m a pedo or something. If you want to know, read my last post, you’ll understand. The last thing I want is to touch kids or be attracted to kids. It makes me gag just thinking about it.

Don’t worry man. It looks like you are trying to overcome these thought because you don’t ever want to act on them. The thoughts disgust you every single time because you are that against them. That how I felt with gay ocd. I say “felt” because my mind got so used to it that I feel like I don’t care, but just not caring scares me. its weird, but what I am trying to say is that I understand the pain of these evil thoughts that you heavily dislike is driving you crazy.

I’m going through the same thing with my HOCD, I just don’t get scared and I have no anxiety anymore either, which terrifies me, and I don’t just want to not act on these thoughts. I want to make sure that these thoughts never existed at all. That this OCD never exists in my head. Because all POCD will bring is pain, evil, and destruction. I will never be attracted to kids. I have never been attracted to kids. It’s a disgusting, awful, and an evil thing to be attracted to kids. I will never, ever, let my POCD win.

Please look at my last two posts and help me out. I know I’m asking for too much, but you and bank seem like the kindest people on the forum who can help me. The last time I asked for help with my HOCD, some dude I blocked triggered me by telling me that I was gay or bisexual in denial on this exact NOCD forum. So I had (and still have) some paranoia about people calling me a pedo or gay/bisexual in denial.

Psychiatrists are the guys that are able to diagnose you, and send you on your way with meds. Therapists are the ones that do ERP, talk therapy, actually listen to you give you practical coping mechanisms and advice. However they cannot prescribe you medication. Both in conjunction are very helpful!

I forgot to answer the second half lol. For me therapy we as very helpful :) I also got to learn life skills and ways to cope with my anxiety, etc. It was also nice to just have someone to talk to that could help in a practical way. Sometimes we would even just talk about music, movies, etc.

Ok first off, you’re style of messaging and you’re humor is 👏👏👏 Ok, my mother works in this field, so after deeply interrogating her I have received some notes. - ERP therapy for OCD is the most effective of all, with an around 85% success rate - some therapists give you medication, there are SO many good ones who will listen to you and help you out to begin with. NOCD therapy I’ve heard is spectacular! Yee 👏👏👏

I have a question My OCD has felt almost invisible the past few weeks and now that is starting to stress me out a lot. Right now I am at a point in my treatement where I was asked if I would like to take medication. I told my therapist this week that I would like to try the medication based on how miserable I feel in during OCD flare ups. But now my brain always tells me that I only go throught this treatement etc. to seek attention and that I am just dramatic and should be ashamed of myself for wanting to take this medication. So now I am doubting if I should take the medication or not. Any advice?

Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.

Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?
