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.

Please read this. I’ve had ocd pretty much a lot of my life but never knew what it was until my senior year of highschool. I’m 21 with 2 kids and i believe i’ve had pocd a little bit before my daughter was born (which was 8 months ago). It made me start looking at all kids differently and i hate it. But it really started triggering me about 3 months ago. I’ve been thinking if i’d intentionally touched or harmed my kids the wrong way, or any kids for that matter. This started giving me false memories (or at least hope they are). I’ve been having panic attacks, yelling at myself, punching walls, praying, and even thoughts of ending my own life. I grew up in a severe toxic household throughout my childhood and teenage life. I’ve never wished that on my kids since i became a dad. I wanna give them the life i never got. I look back my photos of my children and i feel like i’m a complete fraud of a dad. I cannot look at my kids or be around them a lot of times. I can’t hold my daughter right. I can’t change their diaper when they need it. Even my son came and was hugging on me the other night while i was watching tv and i acted like a stranger to him. I can very little do this stuff sometimes because it’s either i get relief or i push my thoughts as far back as i can. I get scared if i did something to not just my kids, but any other kids in the past. I have such a a great life and such a beautiful family. It was hard and stressful at first being young with a family but i couldn’t be more thankful at all for them. I’m just so lost and stressed right now that i just don’t know what to do anymore

Hello, I unknowingly have lived with ROCD or OCD (not sure what one. I’m new to this). It has ruined so many amazing romantic and platonic relationships and I am so sad that just now I am finding out what the hell is wrong with me. Maybe life would be different if I have known. My OCD and anxiety is at an all time high (ATH) due to some horrible events that have happened in the recent months. I am at the point where paranoia has taken over my life now. I had my first panic attack a few weeks ago where I fainted. My anxiety attacks are so extreme I go thought cognitive distortion that has lasted days. My girlfriend of 3 years is my emotional guardian and she no long has the energy to be that and honestly it’s not her responsibility to be that. She is bi and wanted to have an open relationship and for someone who has OCD this has not been good for me. She also was assaulted in my own home by a good friend of ours when I was out of town but it’s not a clear situation because it sounded consensual at first. I just left my very high paying job. I am financially secure but the job was emotionally abusive and looking back made my OCD worse. I am taking some time off to get my head right…but now, all I have to do during the day is live in my OCD. I’m very happy I finally figured out why I act the way I do but I don’t know if I can get better quick enough to save my relationship. I have never been so worried about myself (M 28 years old). I am a confident young professional and never thought I would be writing on a page like this. Anyway…I hope it gets better.

Why the h•••ll did this happen to me? Seriously, I felt like a normal person yesterday, and now this morning, I feel like I am now a p•••do. When I first woke up, I kept thinking about about the usual things about a kid, only this time it felt real. It was like I was into them sexually and because of that, my private parts growed. Even though I kept saying "no, no ,no" a lot, I felt was only talking to open air and it didn't feel like I meant it God, for the last couple of days, I truly felt normal for once, and against these thoughts. But now I know that I am a p•••do and a piece of s••••it for seeing kids that way. If I could go back before all of this happened, I f••••cking would. Because I KNOW I was never like this before.
