i'm a 28 year old man and i have ocd. i recently went back to work after taking a year off. it was good for 2 weeks and them my ocd symptoms came back. unfortunately i had to quit my new job. its hard for me to function day to day without having sexual obsessions happen all the time. i feel like people can read my mind and and know that i am thinking these awful thoughts. is that true? i feel like people look at me like i'm gross, disgusting and a monster.
one of thoughts i have is that everytime i have a bad thought i have to wash my brain to get it out.
i get so distraught with these thoughts that I isolate myself from everyone and stay in my apartment all day.
sometimes i get suicidal thoughts and i just can't deal with the ocd.
i hate that my families suffer b/c of me.
i realize that i will probably have this for the rest of my life. i really do want to get better. i pray to God that I can get through this. I hope my medication works and that i can go back to living a normal life.
im not a perfect person but i want to try to be perfect in Gods eyes. i am a born again Christian. Maybe this is a test from God to see how much i can take. if it is a test...its certainly a hard one. and i do not know if i am going to pass.
does anyone feel like i do? if you have any words that will help me please post them. i really need them today.
