...See more I have a fight with OCD every day it won't ever give up, but neither will I if I could physically beat the life out of this demon inside my head I wouldn't think twice about doing it because it causes me to lose out on happiness and makes me struggle with simple things in day to day life sometimes its worser than others but mostly very bad I suffer with it severely and its linked to something tragic I think that happened in my life let's just say I got attacked and it was terrible it scarred me for life and since that happened the OCD started to show signs and since then I've struggled badly with it ever since I hope someone can understand and has experience with this issue not because I want you to suffer with it but because I want someone who can relate and knows how I feel. Thanks.

...See more Im going through this "phaze" were im always thinking about my partners past and people who she has been with, im always worried that she is going to do something that will sabotage out relationship or has done in the past, im currently going to therapy for this and some days it helps and some days it dosnt, sometimes this just gets a bit to much and my anxiety will start playing out situations in my head and makes me believe i am always right, she has lied to me at the begining of our relationship which sort of broke the trust as i came from a relationship that i was cheated on, this makes it very hard to take her word for anything she is saying, could anyone share their thoughts on this on how i can be better for her she is such an amazing woman and i dont want to loose her because of my bad thoughts

OCD rumination

...See more TW!! please do not judge, this was extremely hard and triggering for me. I’m extremely embarrassed to open up about it and so scared to be judged, but as a young and innocent kid, i was impulsive and wanted to explore my body and stuff. so i’ve impulsively tried getting l.cked down there by a pet just to know how it felt like. therefore, i just wanna add that i never felt attracted to pets and it was impulsive and at the time, no one has ever taught me about what was okay or not okay with boundaries and stuff, so i feel like i didn’t know any better. therefore, i’m scared to death to be a z.ophile or bad person because of this and i have been replaying this uncomfortable scenario over and over again to make myself feel bad. i also wanna precise that i’m hypersensitive. i’ve talked about it to an ai chatbot previously that told me that childhood exploration is valid and that childhood mistakes don’t mean much as we were innocent and just curious when they were made. i just still feel absolutely gross, like a criminal, even though at the time i was just tryna get to know my body and everything. i feel like i’ll never get out of this and finally forgive myself, although i’ve been told i’d mature and overcome this. please do not judge me, because it took me so much courage to open up about it. i just wanna know if i’m a good person.

Opening up about my experiences with COCD

...See more Hello I'm Vivienne and I suffer from symptoms of COCD. I shared this meassage in the hopes of reaching out to people like me and just to be raw and open. Hope this message finds you well. For me it's real torture. Here are examples of how it's like for me suffering from Contamination OCD: Sometimes I imagine that their is nast everywhere and the discomfort makes me feel like I should just dissapear into thin air.;to the point i can't even breath because my brain tells me that there's something in the air. This kind of situation is usually hard to come out of. Really frustrating Other times I don't even want to eat food because I believe the person who cooked handled it unhygienically Usually I wash my hands execessivelly Other times i execessivelly clean things like dishes and food stuff ; other times it's so overwhelming I find myself cleaning the whole house and re washing my clothes All these thoughts are usually triggered somehow by something, from small discomforting things to awfully disgusting things. Usually from smell or sight. Safe to say this behaviors cause a hussle between me and the people I live with. Some people think that I have hatred toward them because they assume that I think they're dirty based off of my actions. I find it uncomfortable to live with people because it causes me a lot of discomfort at times . I can get so overwhelmed I feel like i just want to run away from myself. COCD is toture and I just feel like I cant live with myself. Is there anyone who can relate? Thanks if you read this far. ð¥°ð¥°
