Heyo! OCD attacks our morals, and what we hold highest. No wonder this is the subset of OCD you’re experiencing. Try some therapy techniques- ERP first! ACT and other CBT/DBT skills can work wonders. Tell your girlfriend what you’re going through- and have a hopeful attitude. Treat OCD like a game.

I see you on here everyday crying for help trying to make sense of your thoughts, it's not helping you mate. Best thing you can do is ring your GP and be a 100% honest with what you're experiencing, they'll refer you to an appropriate therapist/centre and you can get some help. It's not gonna be easy for you, but this fear will pass and is only temporary, you just need the appropriate and professional tools to get over it.

I'm in the same spot as you lads although it's been getting alot better, things are gonna be alright. From my experience OCD isn't something which gets better on its own so best of luck to you both getting it sorted 🙏

Hey Brother, it gets better. I promise! It doesn’t go on forever, but it we’ll never get better if you don’t work with a professional on HOCD. I haven’t even been in ERP for a month, and I have already seen tremendous improvements! My self esteem is higher than it’s been at almost any other point in my life. I don’t compare myself to other men or see any women as out of my league. I don’t judge other people or put them on pedestals. I need to put a lot of work into other areas of my mental health as well, but I had a feeling that HOCD would be a great place to start and it was just that and more! It literally changed my life. Seriously bro I know it sounds like I’m trying to sell you on it but I love you brother and I know the hell that you’re in mentally. Chances are it’s effecting you in many more ways than you know of. Trust me brother I was in HELL. You can and WILL overcome this, but the ERP is the only way. I wish you well my brother.

I had those same negative thoughts about women too. I felt they all hated me because my HOCD made me put a sexual framework on EVERY interaction. I thought I was getting rejected sexually at times I wasn’t because that’s just how deep the OCD goes. Trust me brother I know you’re in hell. It gets better but I believe the ERP is the only way. I promise one day you’ll be able to look back on this and laugh about it. Much love.

@Ihateocd83 You need to get off this app seeking reassurance, you're just winding yourself up. When OCD hits it's better to do nothing.

I agree with ween. The reassurance feeds the HOCD. Have you started working with a therapist. I found mine through HOCD and it literally saved me.

@Bryan Let’s try not to get a pandemic virus, shall we? It could be exposed to others through yourself.

@Bryan At least there’s a cure to OCD - ERP, and none for covid.

@Bryan My guy, you deserve to live. I know it’s a struggle, but you are a wonderful human being who is being tortured right now but there is light. Your kids need a father and your wife needs a husband. Also, I am a COVID-19 researcher and, although this is certainly a nasty virus, it probably won’t kill you. It is way more likely to seriously maime you/give you secondary autoimmune complications that would enhance your current suffering. You’ve got this. Take it one day at a time. You can be who you want to be, even if the OCD feeds you lies at the moment.

I feel so much for people, especially my parents, brother, and nana right now. I saw a few people I know from college and high school whose mom or dad passed away at a young age and I don’t know what to do about it but worry for mine who are having a hard time emotionally and mentally right now. My mom took a new job because she was previously overworked. She’s in her mid-fifties and her friends are all retired and have nice homes. She traded her old him for a smaller home that she hates. It’s required for her at her new job to complete a license exam and pass but it looks like such a hard exam and she’s so overwhelmed and emotionally drained and can’t stop comparing herself to her friends. I can’t even come up with anything positive to say to her. She feels like she shouldn’t have this much stress at this point in her life. My dad is constantly thinking about politics and it’s frustrating because it’s so toxic to even think like this but he’s stubborn and keeps thinking and talking about it. He’s currently an independent contractor and is having a hard time finding a job and finding clients, so he’s stressed about not bringing any income in. My brother and I are also stressed because we are overworked at our jobs and have been applying for new jobs for over a year and can’t get any. I haven’t had the best experience with my previous jobs because my bosses have been just awful in the past while I worked so hard and over 10 hours a day. My nana has been so lonely for so many years and finally has her friend who is now living close to her. After a month of her friend living with her, her friend fell and broke her hip. I feel so bad for both of them and I just feel like we all can’t win or catch a break. I feel like there’s more bad than good in this world and if there is a God, why would he make it so difficult for us to live in this world. It’s complete torture. I’m seriously so mad at God and why he/she would let this happen.

since february i have "POcd". Initial symptoms were thoughts, but then I did a testing compulsion during an intimate time, and I spiraled ever since. I struggle with addiction to smut. I'm cutting that out, but I feel as if it is too late. Ive never experienced this much mental, and emotional anguish in my life. On my time on this application I have given advice to others, and helped around, but I wonder if that even applies to me. Millions of times I wish I could turn back time and be more careful. I want to prevent many things, including what led me to spiral into OCD in the first place. I'm surely having an OCD episode. I have gotten a diagnosis, but I'm still not sure. I feel evil, cause unlike many here, I tested on my body sensations and it backfired (twice) I know I'm not supposed to figure out why that is the case, but now I have to live with it for the rest of my life even if its something I don't desire. This is disgusting for me, it is abhorrent. I could've never seen this coming. Day by day I've become more fearful of living with this, "OCD". I was a normal person before this, I knew what I was attracted to, I know my preferences, so why did this come about? This is singlehandedly the most painful thing that has happened to me and I have nobody but myself to blame. I am scared of death but I also would'nt mind sleeping for years on end. My parents and brother were understanding of my situation, but I failed them regardless. I don't want them to see me this way, nor do I want them to learn more of my predicament. I'm cooked. I know it, Fin, thats all folks. I'm only 20 and I already have other diagnosed mental illness so I recklessly brought upon myself another one. Its agonizing to live through, I wish this on nobody, not even my worst enemy. I can't even identify myself at this point. Its tearing me apart.
