This is the only man who is ssly talking some shit worth listening to, because half of them is trying to convince my straight ass mind having ocd that accept the uncertainty and lets not find out about it now ig this works for some people but some of us have genuine plans of getting married and starting a family with a "women/man" so they cannot bear this uncertainty, and trust me when a person ," says accept the uncertainty" and the moment the anxiety hits just leave that video or look for a better therapist if you are going through therapy also trust me like seriously when I say this, you are not gay or bi or trans, i have had a deep fucking analysis that those who truly have a desire to be gay or bi and are having ocd about their sexuality they tend to accept it further down the road but some of us especially guys who have had dreams of being with their first childhood crush who even today find the memory of seeing their crush everyday makes them feel delighted and fills their heart with the puppy love feeling that they had first time. These people cannot be gay and no offence to the LGBT community we love y'all but when a guy or gal is scared during this phase of their life please dont make them or try to make them believe them something they are not its going to ruin their life. And ssly the "lets accept the uncertainty" this line is so fucking annoying, imagine telling this to a new mother having ocd of killing her toddler, or a person going through POCD who is having intrusive thoughts of molesting a child. this will definitely convince the person that he/she should be better of dead than live with this uncertainty cause this is a 'disorder' which is going to stick with you forever! I would say that this needs a lot of research and the ERP techniques need to evolve cause it ain't working for the 4% people who needs serious help.

I've always had compulsions to hurt myself

Well, "Dr" sometimes your harm OCD is focused on a specific person or class of persons. So, for example, me being with your kids and a knife wouldn't do much for me, who suffers from Harm OCD, because mine isn't about hurting children. And no, you can't "have fun" with it. You ghoul.

This is the fucking worse. Our own brains has been formed against us. I’m praying for every single person, including me who suffers from this. I’m so tired of it, the first 3 weeks of having it had had intense anxiety! The fourth, the anxiety diminished, but I still had overthinking. Then in the fifth week I had physical sensations, this brought back some anxiety. Then in the sixth I started getting vivid images in my head and worsening intrusive thoughts, but no anxiety but still overthinking. My mind was like, “why aren’t you afraid?!?” Or “you need to start worrying.” In the seventh week I started having something called, “fake attraction.” It felt very real but I’ve never felt any feeling for men, only women. It felt as if I were gay and I was denying truth. For the current week, I still have all of what is in the seventh week. But I’ve always had consistent attraction to women. Stay strong, we are straight, these are lies. Prayers to all whom are affected and to the many more in the future. 🙏❤

When I have a wild intrusive thought, it's veery easy to put it off since ik I wouldn't do anything that stupid. It's the reasonable intrusive thoughts that get me, thoughts that involve feelings of inadequacy, insecurity, failure. It's difficult to discern what is intrusive sometimes and it hurts

Pure ocd 😢😭 i need help, i want to recover my freedom

This is not OCD, this is mass brainwashing propaganda and occult forces over the world! See around you they sell you this thing everywhere right now! Movies, news, instagram even if you watch straight porn a gay pop up may come up or some other wicked content! Do you think guys in 1800's 1900's suffered from HOCD? Let me tell you NO cause their minds werent bombarded with such stuff everyday its very easy to corrupt a brain even of an adult! You want a solution? Stop watching porn, news and go to an east european country you will see how fast you will not think of such content and your mind will heal!

P@do💀

i want it to stop please just make it stop please make it stop

Thank you for sharing your story ❤

Thank you for this

you are more asshole then THE Trump. He will be reelected again, while you will have another psychosis episode as usual :DDDDDDD

Which is best treatment for ocd! Ketamine or shroom?

Yes this can be extremely frustrating and also goes beyond the more intense/scary things she’s talked abt. I’ve had unwanted thoughts that align with my sexuality but jus straight up jus not something I would want to be thinking abt in the moment that you can call “checking” or also jus intrusive in another way like you if you were just looking around and your eyes randomly met a persons crotch and think “omg did I just sexualize them” when it’s jus your hyperawareness that creates this anxiety

I feel like u

...............i have....... pedo....... ocd..............

HOCD is a way of monetising gayness by pathologising it. You are no longer allowed to say that gay is a disease, so now it is disease 'adjacent'. The medical profession invented the concept of homosexuality as an 'identity' in the 19th century as a money spinner.

Recovery is 100% possible you will beat this I promise

Remember everyone, we are not our thoughts! Coming from a fellow P OCD sufferer, I know it’s a horrible and disturbing theme to suffer with. But it doesn’t have to rule over our lives. Yes, there will be challenging days (Lord knows I still have lots) but it is still possible to live a happy life. Same goes for all other themes as well.

Brothers and sisters i am here just to share some helpful information.I have been doing Root chakra and sacral chakra yoga of allie van fossen in youtube for the past 1 year, it didn't heal me completely from hocd but yoga has made me feel less anxious and a scared and given me a good % of balance in my mind that i could focus on the real world and to not be completely lost in my mind every second as i was before.It has allowed to be in sync with what i was talking and thinking in the moment.Before i was not even aware what i was talking.Yoga gave me a peaceful space to understand my issues better.If you guys are facing very high level of anxiety that you are not at all able to focus in the moment,i recommend you guys practicing it daily(one chakra yoga a day).You could also try other chakra yoga.God bless you all.

the brain tortures itself is a good analogy.

I have POCD and people constantly misunderstand it and call me a pdfphile Which really hurts me and makes me even feel worse about myself As if ocd has not done that enough already 😔

I don't watch porn alot but I still keep much interest in girls ❤

If you work on the SPH answer this. I was on last night and I accidentally slept on chat. I feel so bad because prob wasted there time. I went back this morning and asked them if they can find that employee and tell her I ended up ok. Will they tell her? I want to know so I can stop feeling bad?

Very articulate.

LOL

mine is like we don't have free will

Can psilocybin eliminate pure ocd permanently?

Hello, it happens to me that I feel deep anguish, my head fills with philosophical thoughts that cause me fear and anxiety, which are enhanced by DPDR, I look at my family, friends or other people and I see them strangely, Life now seems like a simulation, I'm having a very bad time and at times I get the idea that the best thing is to die.

Thank you so much for this, it is truly relieving

I'm 16 and i really want to understand if i have POCD or not. When i was 13, i had this short burst of intense distress over the thought of becoming a pedophile when i was older, but it went away quickly. I never had another thought involving that topic, but at 15 it came back. I became that distressed because it came out of nowhere i was crying and crying for three days straight, non stop. I didn't sleep, i refused to eat because i believed i didn't even deserve to do it, and i eventually went to a&e because i was so terrified and paranoid that i would do something. I sat in the a&e waiting room with my mum and i was bawling my eyes out and repeatedly telling my mum i was a horrible person and i don't understand why I'm like this. I have a 6 year old niece and I've been alone with her, and i haven't had an urge to do anything sexual towards her and i love her to pieces. The first few days i ever experienced these thoughts i actually refused to be on my own, like i would follow my mom around EVERYWHERE and i would be terrified at the thought of having a chance to do something to a child or even think of it. I have suffered from being molested at a VERY young age, and i don't know if my brain is just confused and muddled up with it or if I'm genuinely turning into a pedophile. I also used to be scared that i would become a serial killer for some reason, but I'm starting to think that's because i grew up in a violent environment. I have these urges to do things to myself while thinking of children, and when i give in and do it i end up crying and feeling immensely guilty to the point i feel like hurting myself. I have had thoughts of suicide as an option and today i even wondered what would be the quickest and most painless way to just end my own life. I came here for reassurance and a way to convince myself fully that these are just irrational and stupid thoughts that will go away and are not actually ME. Also the weirdest thing about it is I had this obsessive crush on this older celebrity, to the point i would watch his films and watch videos about him for hours every single day and when these thoughts started, that attraction for him just suddenly disappeared. I've never been attracted to chidren before and i have even been attracted to men way older than me (for example a teacher).

im 13 with ocd and i just recently started having even worse thoughts and sometimes they can make me really u[set and i feel like i cant have a normal relationship with anyone bc of the things i unintentionally think. thanks for making me feel better about it :)

What happens if you text them?

Suffering from this even if it just ocd make me want to end it all i really loved to live atypical life

The doctor say they use 25mg. Is this 25mg of psilocybin ? And hoe do you calculate the gram of the mushroom to take 25mg psilocybin (in general)

If you call do they tell your parents

I wanna suicide but 988 is blocked in my country somehow....

Dr. Steven Philippson is the type of therapist you are glad to have as an Affected

What I notice with all these examples is that we are afraid of taboo topics. Would this type of ocd still exist if these taboos were not considered as such?

like,like,like,like,like

I LOVE YOU HAHAHA. 2 years and 1 suicide attempt untill I found I had OCD and wasn't insane.

That’s what I am suffering from

What I experience, which may not even be "existential" OCD, is intense rumination about psychological models. I like to call it "psychoanalysis paralysis"; it's where I obsess about trying to find complete logical consistency within my understanding of psychological models. I have spent hundreds of hours going down a rabbit hole to figure out things like personality (I'm INTP, enneagram 5w4 with tritype 548 and sp/sx), intelligence (IQ 135+ tested at the proctored Mensa exam), psychopathology (obsessing about potentially being ASD, ADHD, OCD among other things, but (trying to) arrive at a 'false, until proven otherwise') etc. What keeps me going is that I am almost constantly bombarded with information that makes me seriously doubt my own understanding, like seeing someone who inaccurately uses psychological terms, like saying that they're 'a little OCD' making me hyperaware of the true-or-false nature of actually fitting the labels. I spend the majority of my free time obsessing about meaningless details, and I desperately want to get out of it. I have already stopped seeing psychology as an 'exact science' long ago. But I still keep ruminating. Which is why I'm starting to see it as a form of OCD, even if it isn't diagnosable with the DSM-5.

All these ROCD videos seem to be from a mans perspective or something. I experience ROCD mainly through self scrutinization rather than scrutinizing my partner. For example, i wonder if im flirting by accident with someone other than my partner. I wonder if my partner will leave me for small flaws or for stating needs. I even wonder if i am ruining other peoples relationships with eachother when i interact with them

Has anyone else ever struggled with the theme of determinism/free will? Been so bad for almost six weeks and started to lose the feeling that I have any control over my own life. Just a brain responding to external/genetic stimuli and so nothing I’ve done - nor anything anyone else has done - deserves to be legitimately praised or blamed. Feels so real with neuroscience supporting it and that sense I referred to that I’ve not been in charge.

I need someone to answer me This ocd got me so bad that many people think i am gay cause i made aproblem with someone over somthing that wasn't meant for me and i took it personaly because i am 7/24 suffering what to do in my case got so depressed to unimaginable degree and they think i am depressed because what they think is right i isolate my self and people keep acusing me help please you are lucky guys it is only in your head mine got out

And the brain is so powerful it will start making images 🥲

Does it cost money to call

I’m telling y’all, this guy may cost a fortune to talk to but he is so damn good. Steven’s the best of the best

What if im too afraid to use exposure and response prevention?
