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.

Does anyone else get super scared of feelings of adrenaline while you have intrusive thoughts? Like it feels like it’s trying to take over your body and those feelings of anger are trying to collide and dictate what ur body does? Now you feel impulsive and on edge and you feel like you are acting on your thoughts? Like I get thoughts about hurting family and I get super scared when I get feelings of anger about them and I feel that adrenaline! It’s all intrusive and I don’t like anything of it

Is the following happening to anyone else? - 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 voice, say, and that you have a feeling of some kind of crawling from the groin all over your body?

I’m hoping to get some feedback or hear if anyone else experiences similar things. Lately, I’ve been noticing a lot of repetitive behaviors and thoughts that feel hard to control. Some of those things are: - I often get this uneasy feeling, and if I don’t do certain things in a specific way, it just doesn’t feel "just right." - I have to wash my hands until it feels "just right," and if I try not to, I get a thought that something bad will happen if I don’t. - I dislike using public bathrooms and even shared bathrooms at home. - When I shower, I have to wear socks before stepping on the floor. If my feet touch the ground, I feel like I have to shower again. - I get hyper-fixated on cuts, worrying about them getting infected, and I avoid touching water or anything else to prevent bacteria, even if I can’t cover them with a bandaid. - I can’t use dishes that have just been washed because I think they haven’t been cleaned properly. Instead, I use the ones that have already been dried and stored. When I type (like on emails or texts), I’ll fix what I write over and over, trying to make it "just right." - I have a strange dislike for certain numbers (7, 4, and 6) and feel uncomfortable around them. - I also have to follow routines, like making my bed in a certain way, and I can’t stop until everything is in the right order. - I get stuck on intrusive thoughts, like needing to wash my hands repeatedly or constantly checking things (like if I turned off the stove) because I fear something bad will happen if I don’t. - I’ll even repeat things in my head, like words or phrases, to make the "just right" feeling go away. - Sometimes, I treat inanimate objects like they have feelings and worry about hurting them, even though I know it's not real. - I’ve always felt like I’m being watched, which causes a lot of distress. There’s more, but these are some of the main things. I feel like these thoughts and behaviors control a lot of my day, and I just can’t stop them even when I know they’re kind of irrational. Does this sound like it could be signs of OCD, or is it something else? Or just normal behavior?
