Just an update, and possibly some helpful information to those suffering more than me. I haven't posted here in a while, mostly due to a lot of stress being taken off of me. Instead of flooding this message board with cries for help, I am doing other things I enjoy (actually). I have been...

I'm 23 and living with my parents. I am unable to hold a job, and will soon be forced to move out. Almost everyday I hear the same condemning speaches from my parents, telling me I need to come out of my room and talk with them like a normal family would, and that I need to move on with my life...

I just don't care about anything anymore. At the end of every day I literally get a migrane from all of the unwanted thoughts. I have spent most of my time in my parent's house for the past several months watching T.V. or staring at a computer screen all day, because I have nothing better to do...

I must be completely out of my mind. Everyday the same **** happens. I see "normal" people going about their lives effortlessly and many times I notice people giving me funny looks. The struggles I go through are so ****ed up, I must just be mad. :(

I have taken an honest evaluation of my past, and how I got where I am today. I was a happy teenager a few years ago, before my first hospitalization for obsessive violent thoughts. For some reason, I have felt like a bad person from the age of 17...over thoughts. I didn't get where I am...

I've been really sad lately thinking about this. I was raised in a fundamentalist Christian family, and started questioning my faith as a teenager. My reasons for doing so were to embrace a liberal perspective freely. I don't agree with everything in the Bible. I don't think sex before marriage...

I feel like an animal because of my thoughts. I want to be contained so I have no fear of harming others. I am utterly disgusted with society and their apathy to help people like me. I have been house-bound for months now, spending most of my time in bed. I am sick of dealing with intrusive...

I start shaking, get dizzy while walking and my eyes dart around. I feel extremely uneasy.

I have been diagnosed with OCD, but recently I think I might actually be a pedophile. I think I DO actually find something sexually appealing in girls that are in the beginning phases of puberty. I feel like a creep in public because of my awkwardness. I don't stare at them or anything, but if I...

I am currently not sure what I believe spiritually, but I was raised in a Christian family. Starting from my teenage years, I have questioned my family's strong Christian beliefs. I really am unsure what to believe spiritually, but I know that I reject their beliefs and am in favor of crafting...

I have been having bad facial ticks lately. My anxiety has skyrocketed due to feeling utterly helpless with my intrusive thoughts. I even stumble and hit things. I feel like I can hardly stand. I can't look anyone in the eye and often have to ask people to repeat themselves several times due to...

I have recently been wondering if I actually have OCD or if i'm just a pedophile. I am not directly attracted to little kids but sometimes I fear I might prefer them to an unattractive woman (although I don't necessarily have to lower my standards to unattractive females). I also think I DO find...

Lately the pain has been almost unbearable. I recently kind of reached a peak with my POCD (worst mental illness ever) where I thought I no longer had sexual urges toward children. Of course my happyness only lasted a few days before my mind started taking the questioning further. I have realzed...

I have been diagnosed OCD and Bipolar. I have had about 20 psychiatric hospitalizations since age 17. Around 17 I got into many arguements with my parents and "rebelled" against them (they are hardcore Christians) by becoming an Atheist. The past 5 years of my life have been thrown away and have...

It seems like I am finally making some headway with my therapist. Perhaps this will help someone else as well. Lately I have been thinking my intrusive thoughts intentionally and practicing seperating my thoughts from my physical actions. I noticed that my brain may be telling me that I could...

over my obsessive thoughts. I feel like I am destined to act a certain way mainly because my obsessive thoughts keep tunneling in my head. Does anyone have any advice to help change my thinking? I really feel like I can't breathe or decide for myself. Perhaps I just need a change of mindset.

Today I just walked out because I couldn't stand my thoughts anymore about harming children. Now I am once again an unemployed loser, but at least I get a $700 social security check. I feel like I have no control over my thoughts and I just want to stay in my room until I die.

I have been dealing with a recent pointless obsession while driving my car. I get thoughts of ramming the person in front of me for the reason that I might have sexual thoughts towards them, and supposedly it would be a form of "acting" on them. Atleast this is pretty pointless I can see, but it...

Hi everyone. I have been diagnosed with OCD by the therapist I am currently seeing, but I guess I am seeking reassurance. I have unwanted thoughts of sexually abusing children. They really don't get too specific, and I am really not around children much. I just get images when I look at their...

I am just wondering if anyone else has felt this way. Often when my OCD is at it's worst, I get really depressed and start to wonder if I am in hell from attempting suicide in the past. One bible phrase pops into my mind: "when hell is full, the dead will walk the earth". This is pretty messed...
