Plaguedbyocd

Thank you all for your responses. It’s really interesting. I do sometimes think I get obsessed with people mostly, and I wonder if that’s an OCD related issue

Hi guys, Does anyone else feel like they generally have quite an obsessive personality? And if so do you think this is linked to OCD? Maybe that’s a silly question…but I question everything

I remember reading something once that said people suffering from sexual orientation ocd have no issues with anyone who isn’t straight or anything like that. The issue is that they value identity and are alarmed by thoughts surrounding their identity. So it doesn’t necessarily mean you are a lesbian or not straight, you just want to be sure of who you are, as most people do, and the thought of not really knowing is upsetting for you.

Hi there, For me the biggest thing that helps is reminding myself that OCD is a liar. It’s like a monster that tries to take over your head. Sometimes when an OCD thought comes into my head I allow myself to get angry at it and tell it to f*** off. Minimise it, don’t give it any importance no matter how real it feels.

Thank you. I really appreciate your replies

Thank you for this. I don’t want to be a selfish person. I don’t know why but it bothers me a lot. Do you guys get that these thoughts feel very real. Like when you try to tell yourself they aren’t you get a feeling that they are?

Thank you it’s very stressful

Hi there. I am having a terrible time with my thoughts and I’m wondering if anyone else has been through anything similar. I always had a very close relationship with my family and would have said I loved them very much without question. However, I’ve been having thoughts that maybe I don’t love or care about my family, or anyone for that matter, but am only concerned with how they serve me. I’m absolutely plagued by this. I’m concerned that I don’t genuinely love or care about my family. I do have OCD but I don’t know if this is OCD or if it’s real. Please help!
