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'm really scared and alone and I don't know how much I can handle! Briefly I lost my whole family and got abandoned too, and the adopted family I currently live with we are having conflicts with each other because they want to control everything about my life friends clothes times of sleep food drinks everything!! I have OCD very bad intrusive thoughts and they don't help at all but at least i have a place to sleep in and food and they aren't that bad after all and thank god they saved me but They are very much dependent on me on everything at home, and the mom treat me like garbage sorry for the word but these days it's been so bad we had alot of fights and i feel like she will abandon me too soon, I know I should have left them earlier but I don't have any where else to go and I don't have the courage to be whole alone!!! I'm crashing I'm terrified and many senarios are on my head and it feels like I'm living in a nightmare, should I obey her? But my life and my mental health would be much more bad, or leave them and face the world alone??? Please tell me anything I want to have hope that everything is going to be okay..

My girlfriend, who’s become increasingly controlling, read my therapy notes while I was sleeping (the one thing I told her not to read). She found a note I wrote, forgiving myself about a past guilt that I hadn’t in detail told her about, and she accused me of exactly what I fear about myself. A week later, she left me. I am destroyed. I’ve spent the past week desperately trying to rekindle the relationship, and I had some level of peace. I got heavy reassurance from a friend, but I think this was a trigger. A day later, while still focused on the relationship, my brain shifted to the guilt itself, and it went deeper. I am now back to where I was 2 years ago torturing myself over my real event OCD, and thoughts that I’m afraid to mention. I am losing my mind and can’t talk to the person who always accepted me, who I feel almost cured my OCD for two years. Now, here I am back to this app, I really need help, I feel I’ve lost everything.
