You don’t deserve to feel that way. I promise it gets better, and the body responses go away as well with therapy. You’re awesome and stay in support!
yep
Yes
Yep
I think I suffer from HOCD, my therapist said I have all signs of OCD, and thanks to my dads side I get anxiety from him, I just used to have fun with my friends, enjoy life and love my girlfriend, never had so much thoughts, doubts, or intrusive images, physical responses or none of that, every time I do I just feel no attraction towards beautiful women anymore and even if I have a regular convo with some dude about a car or something I automatically feel a groinal, and when I look at the person to be polite making eye contact, my mind says “this person looks really good” and I’m WTF I’m just trying to kill time talking about cars and shit without being awkward and not saying nothing at all. It confuses me daily!!
100 percent. It’s the worst part! What kind of physical responses do you have?
@jm1998 constant groinals are the worst!
Yep everyday I’m in a repetitive argument with myself of whether I want to hump a child or not. It’s never anything more extreme just this. I hate the feeling cause I would never do it or enjoy it but my minds like yeah but you want to hump a child tho and only thinks about the sexual side. Anyone been through anything similar? I work with children and when I’m around them the thoughts aren’t so bad. It’s just when I get in my head too much.
Sensorimotor and checking OCD ~ First post on NOCD. Does anyone else have an abnormal amount of focus on bodily sensations? How do you deal with it? Also the doubt that comes with harm coming to your loved ones if you don’t check something in a “special” way. What helped you the most?
It’s so weird how OCD just comes about with no explanation, out of nowhere. My issue has been feelings. I have moments of hyper focusing on feelings, trying to figure them out, and it’s exhausting. Logically, I know that what I’m going through with the things happening in my life (relationship ending that was abusive, my father just getting diagnosed with dementia, etc) would make anyone feel the way I do. But I keep trying to fight my feelings. “Normally, old me” would embrace them and let them be. Ever since my OCD returned, I can’t help but fixate on them and stress even more. It’s almost like my emotions and the way we are as humans in my mind has become even more of a problem than the problems themselves. Can anyone relate? I am doing my best with ERP. I definitely helps. But I’m still waking up not feeling like myself and it hurts.
I do not even know how to explain what I am experiencing right now. It feels like I am not even myself and it feels like the thoughts are stronger than ever before and that they are more compelling? But I also do not feel like I’m inside my body so it’s making it extra scary. I’ve never experienced OCD like this before. I’ve been doing a lot better overall but now with this, I’m feeling doomed to just be what my thoughts say. It feels like I’ve lost my mind if I am being honest and every thing is triggering me. It does not feel like OCD this time. Any advice?
