I’m sorry, he sounds like he’s really deep into his obsession. I had a similar concern/fear that I have ocd and I am going to realize I am obsession (which also made me suicidal) . Erp therapy through this app helped a ton. Remember ocd causes a lot of doubt for the person and it’s no surprise that it may have latched onto something like this. Ocd can have somebody completely convinced about their obsessions sometimes, and with the child obsessions it can be very traumatic. He may have also been spending a lot of time on the app preforming compulsions like reassurance seeking, rumination, reasearching his obsessions..etc. which probably made his ocd worse. Sending my thoughts, and wishing the best for your family

Dear respondents, Thank you so much. I am just a father trying to help my son get back to how he was before. So a few questions for my wife and I as we are trying to learn and educate ourselves. Does OCD mean this is not true or can it be true? If it can be true with sexual obsesseions why are therapists not implying for clients to go out and experiment with the same sex? If this is doubt about sexuality wouldn’t going out and experiencing the same sex be a better indicator for people struggling with HOCD. Please forgive an terminology i have used I am not an OCD sufferer and trying to help my son If this is accessed and viewed by professionals or would be nice to speak to enable us to help me son Kind regards

Thank you. How would i reach out to the support groups. Isabella what is the OCD condition about? Can someone realise this is true. My son’s therapist have indicated this doesn’t happen or hasn’t happened but my son has read this can be true. My wife and I am are so confused in ourselves what is true and what is not. Could you kindly educate briefly. Kind regards

To sign up you can click the link I sent. It’s a support group for parents whose kids have ocd. And to answer your question no I don’t believe someone with ocd can realize their obsession is true. I’ve seen people claim that they have but I doubt that those people even had ocd to begin with or they may have been so deep into their obsession that they accepted it as truth. There is no research or evidence for ocd obsessions coming true. I would listen to your sons therapist, there is a lot of misinformation online.

+ ocd obsessions are egodystonic and go against a persons values, beliefs and identity.

Hi I kept seeing this app on repeat on TikTok over and over and I thought I give it a shot. I have never been diagnosed with OCD but I know that I have it. I’m a young adult and I found out the first time I had OCD was watching lelelons truth video? I was 14 at the time She had to resist sitting back down in a chair after her having sat down she started having a mental break down when she was told to resist. That’s when I knew. It started with myself going up and down a staircase twice buckling unbuckling my seat belt everytime I’m in the car ect I have always been super anti social but trying my best I can socialize but my mind wants to make it sexual with family and friends ughhhh I hate it because that’s not me when I graduated thoughts of hurting my loved ones corrupted my mind I broke down outside of church one time asking if this was really me or not i question if I’m a good enough friend or person in this world to begin with thinking everyone is judging me so so close how can I make this situation better did I do something wrong I struggle with depression as well not to bad but it’s there I come from a loving family but broken as well i believe in god and my OCD makes me go often he’s not real that stuff isn’t real no one is there to save you the list goes on. Anyway I struggle a lot and I really hope that this will help me because I feel extremely hopeless. Lucky for me I do have the ability to seek therapy and I am excited. The only person I ever tell my thoughts to is God no other human has heard so I’m really really hoping this helps me out if your reading this thank you it means a lot because this is my first time ever admitting all this it’s a lot to take in I know and I hope you are ok and that you have a great night and know that we got this

Hi everyone, I’m Cayla. I’m a mom that’s lived with OCD since childhood, but my breaking point came more recently after having my son. I was consumed by terrifying thoughts—What if I hurt him? What if I did something awful without realizing it? I was so afraid of my own mind that I couldn’t be alone with him. The shame and exhaustion were unbearable, and I convinced myself I was broken. In 2024, I finally sought help. ERP therapy at NOCD was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but it saved my life. Even now, I have tough days, but I know I don’t have to be ruled by OCD. When my 12 year old daughter began showing signs of OCD, I felt overwhelmed with guilt. I never wanted her to go through what I had, but I knew what to do. I told her that I have OCD too and made sure she knew it wasn’t her fault—and that she wasn’t alone. One of the hardest parts of this journey was trusting someone else with my daughter’s OCD. I knew how vulnerable it feels to share intrusive thoughts, and I wanted her to feel safe. Her NOCD therapist was able to establish trust and genuine empathy from the start, and that relationship gave her the confidence to face ERP head-on. Seeing her build that trust made me certain she was in the right hands. ERP has helped both of us reclaim our lives, and it is beautiful to see my daughter managing her condition and making visible progress. Parenting with OCD while raising a child with OCD isn’t talked about enough, but I know so many parents are struggling with these same challenges. If you have questions about managing OCD while parenting, helping your child through ERP, or breaking cycles of guilt, drop them below—I’d love to share what I’ve learned. I’ll be answering all of the questions I receive in real-time today 4-5pm ET.

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.
