What kind of OCD are you suffering from?? :/

[RedRibbons]

I realize now, after checking out some other forums, that I have Pure-O. They are HOCD, POCD, and ROCD. zzz. Does anyone else suffer from these? It's so stressful, cause no matter who I am around, I'm having some kind of problem with the ocd.. It makes having any sort of relationship very difficult.

If you don't know what I'm talking about.. It's..

Homosexual, Pedophile, and Relationship OCD. 8O

Well, i have some perfecionistic opssesions - since i was very young.
I'll try to post a similiar pic like in my avatar when i was like 4,5 years old
lol.

I also have musical ocd - a music pattern get stuck in my reverberant cycle and it doesnt goes from my head easily <--it is very annoying
What i read here is best method for fighting it is - not to fight it , so i try to pretend that it is not bothering me and to ridicule it by singing or whistling. I have also heard that many anxious people suffer from this : I

Yes, i also have relationship OCD - i think i m painly possesive. Bu' , since i realize it i think i will be able to change , or to ridicule that shit.

Also i have some sort of urges to say something in order to
feel much connected to the reality (since i suffer from depersonalization as well :I)

I explained what they are at the bottom of my post.

Rado, when you're in a relationship, how do you act, think, etc.. Besides being possessive.. Maybe elaborate?

[sorry in advance for the length of my post, I have a tendency for long posts. in fact I am pretty sure that's OCD-related]

I guess I'll vent here I'm new to this forum, just found it today, as I was looking for a good place to talk to people I can relate with

I'm pretty much a pure-obsessive, but I do have some compulsive 'rituals'. My obsessions range everywhere from all kinds of sexual thoughts to superstitions to losing my temper at things I shouldn't be losing it over. I often find it hard to concentrate in school (I'm in high school) because I get spattered with little random thoughts every now and then; I regain control of my mind immediately but then it happens again in a few minutes usually.

Probably the worst part of my obsessions is that it causes relationship problems. I've only had one girlfriend but I screwed it up badly with my incessant paranoia and jealousy, and refusal to accept that it was real. Before and after that relationship I've always had annoying problems with jealousy and infatuation...I often have compulsive "feelings" for girls I don't even know, and often a sign of others' romance while I have no girlfriend makes me sick with jealousy that I can't get rid of.

I'm a bit compulsive in that I can't use dishes that ran through the dishwasher, I have to personally inspect or thoroughly wash my own dishes before use. I also have trouble eating/drinking things other people have eaten/drank, but I have mostly gotten over that. Also if I have misplaced something my heart rate goes up and I way overstress myself in trying to find it. The compulsive (or obsessive) problem that most interferes with my life is that I am utterly repulsed by ants and spiders, to the point where I refuse to sleep in my room for weeks on end during the summertime, and I cannot touch anything that has been touched by a bug. This and the jealousy thing really make OCD frustrating.

Elaborate ? :? Okay , like i explained i m mostly down. When i m drunk i love everyone and end in a relationships with unknown person, that i perhaps idealize bcoz of drunkness. I remember endin up with a person that actually wasnt lookin for relationship but she tortured me one month by being quiet (She had a crash that she was seeing and probably is merried to him, thank heaven).

so , i dont now...it is most likely the fact that i m not willing to admit myself (and others) that i m depressed. Than i do compromise, and it seems that i m lobotomizing myself in a wrong direction.

If you want to have boyfriend, maybe i can recommend you some person from Canada .
I think he is good guy, succesful , silly and stabile .

OCD health.

Do people find that OCD makes them aggressive towards loved ones? Is it difficult to hold down a relationship?

My OCD has me obsessed with my own health. I think that if I don't do certain things, I'll be diagnosed with some horrible illness and die. It has me checking symptoms for diseases on the internet, seeking constant reassurance, checking myself for unusual illnesses.

It also has me claustrophobic. Small spaces throw me into a wild panic. I feel like if I don't check everything around me, I'll end up being trapped there forever.

Sigh. Mental.
