Suffered for several years with obsessive thoughts. Still in therapy. Would like to talk with others in the same situation.
Originally from Lincoln, Ne . Graduated from Lincoln Northeast and UNL. First diagnosed with OCD in 1995. I have always had problems keeping a job since graduating from college. I have not identified to employers that I have OCD. I am wondering if I should since my last job, some OCD events occured. I was micromanaged the last two months this brought on “FULL BLOWN” OCD episodes. anxiety level is still high. Have other people had job problems due to their OCD ?? And what have they been?
I am checking things and paranoid of food and water coolers, and sodas. I think they’re alcohol or gasoline.
I want to try harder to get better. I want to connect with people with this condition and make friends.
Ii am interested in this condition because my husband has OCD and I want to learn more about it
I want to get rid of my OCD tendencies. They interupt my life, give me great anxiety and ruin relationships in my life.
Hi…I’m Bob…a male in my mid 50’s living with OCD for many years now. I had bouts of Depression on and off since I was very young. My OCD came on in 1981 in the form of Double Checking. I live with it daily, and it is still pretty strong. I’ve been through the gamut with medications and therapy. Have been on 2 medications for a few years now. The only ones I can tolerate without bad side effects. They don’t help nearly as much as needed. But, a lot better than nothing at all. I wanted to join this community so I can feel less alone, living with this kind of illness. Thank you.
My problem is i don’t have a name for what I have been going though for over 20 years how do I find out what it is. Some times I think I’m going crazy help
I was recently diagnosed with OCD. It has caused me a great deal of personal pain. I would like to learn how to cope and overcome this problem. I would like to connect with people that have made progress for recovery to help encourage me.
I have OCD and I really need support.
Hi, I am obsessive compulsive, I have what you call Pure-O. That means I constantly have obsessive thoughts usually morbid thoughts. It has been very difficult to commit to a relationship because I am afraid they might think I am crazy. I go through waves of this, sometimes I feel normal and other times I have such dark feelings I dont even know who I am. I would like to learn how to overcome this, and would really like to talk to people who are going through this as well.
I’ve had obsessive shame about myself(sexual) since I was 18. I’m 51 now. It all happened in a matter of 3 days times, just like a tidal wave. I’ve never been able to stop feeling so ashamed of myself since. I have to refrain from any sexual activity, except with my wife, but i have alot of sexual desire, I just can’t do anything on my “own” or I will go into a very deep and painful depression and painful guilt. I still feel alot of guilt even though I have a “clear conscience”. …but I have alot of sexually interfering thoughts all the time also. It’s also hard for me to watch T.V. because I am so immersed with people’s faces and expressions…it really disturbs me.
I have some of the symptoms of OCD, though I have not been professionally diagnosed as of yet.
Hi! My web name is ‘gracie’ and I am an ocd sufferer. I had this disorder for over 25 years and I receied this medical problem gene from my mother who was the " worry wort" in our family.
My name is Mazy. I am 21 years old and I live in Tampa, FL. I am on my way to a bachelor’s degree in art education. I suffer from extreme OCD and I have never met anyone who can identify with and understand what I am going through.
I have a 13 yr. daughter with OCD. I need help. How do teenage girls with OCD have friends.
My daughter, 21, has had OCD for many years and has recently gotten really bad again, It is affecting her life, I am afraid she will lose her job. And she never seems to be happy anymore, can’t even sit still anymore. Everytime I bring up to her to get some help, she says there is nothing that will help. Please help I just don’t know what to do for her.
I recently went through the NIGHTMARE of my landlord selling my house , and was “found out” you might say .
I have had OCD for the last 20 years. I read a good way of controlling my obsession on the ocdonline.com website which I found is very helpful. And I want others to know about this website & I want to get support to maintain the control I have over my OCD.
