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!

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?

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.

This list by ai gives a good summary of my symptoms. Does it resemble OCD or is it something else? 1. Compulsions (OCD-specific behaviors): • Feeling the need to flex or contract muscles an even number of times, equally on both sides of your body. • Needing to reverse actions (for example, if you roll your eyes or trace a line with your finger, you feel compelled to do it again in the exact opposite way). 2. Intrusive Thoughts (OCD-specific ruminations): • Daydreaming about people you care about getting hurt (e.g., school shooting, injury, or kidnapping). • Sometimes feeling like you might want something bad to happen to someone you find attractive—possibly because of a desire to help or save them, though it’s confusing. • These thoughts can sometimes provide a twisted sense of relief while remaining distressing and confusing. 3. Sexual Orientation OCD: • Experiencing confusion or doubt about your sexual orientation. 4. Contamination Thoughts: • Feeling like things are contaminated, especially after touching something gross. 5. Sensory Compulsions: • Feeling the need to smell your hand after touching areas like your ear or hair. 6. ADHD-like Symptoms / Additional Observations: • Fidgeting or moving your legs when standing or sitting.

please i need someone to share experiences... - that a certain facial expression of a person to whom ocd is attached causes a lot of thoughts that are connected to that facial expression, and that the images in your head are very detailed, and that they have a sound, words, and that you have a feeling of some kind of crawling from the groin all over your body?

Recently ive been getting very scared to even be angry (i try to avoid even being angry if i can!) bc of the horrible thoughts I have and it feels even more real when I'm angry or even annoyed. I've been hyperfocusing on my bodily reactions (mainly my hands or how I'm feeling like did I just enjoy that? Was I considering? Did it just move? Why is it tingly? Why did it twitch?) And I've noticed the small twitches whenever I'm mad or annoyed and it's scaring me so bad! Like do I want to act out? Am I holding back? Is this an indication i was about to do something or will in the future? I used to not even twitch at all when mad and I felt 100% sure I'll never act out but now it feels like I don't even know anymore bc of these twitches. Im so afraid! What I do know is I don't want to ever act out (idea is distressing not appealing) but it's so scary like why did i twitch or was i about to act out? Im scared these are real urges and i research for many many hours to make sure they arent real urges or impulses and i also tend to ask ai or here if the anxiety gets so bad. Like how do I know of this is actually a serious concern and I should be very worried???
