Stress Center Peer Support

Hi. It's been many months since i've posted anything on the discussion board. Does anyone else feel just totally exhausted from having anxiety/OCD all day long? I don't compulse, but I do obsess, constantly think negatively, ruminating about things that I can't control, etc. It seems like it takes a...

Hi Trin. Some good advice on the board here. I highly recommend talking to a professional who specializes in OCD (maybe you are already doing so?). They can try and work through this fear with you. You aren't gay. It's the OCD talking. Try and let the thought pass, and address it is "oh this is an O...

thnx rd

i do feel better. today was a good day.

i just wish i could have more days like this and be able to control my anxiety/depression more. it's frustrating.

thanks for your concern.

Trin You're not alone as HOCD is part of obsessive compulsive. I have the same obsession. Mine started several years ago. I've had OCD (pure obsessions) for a long time. My OCD has switched obsessions over the years. I hate the gay one too. It scares me and I keep worrying about it. I think everyone...

Hi everyone. Thank you for your reponses. I just posted this a couple of hours ago and already there has been some kind words and encouragement. Mel the infor. you shared was great. I know I have pure O, but mine I think are a bit harder to shake than others. They're just awful and very offensive. M...

thanks holly. my ocd flips from scary to yucky thoughts. i hope you're doing ok. anything i can help you with? i've had agressive thoughts @ one time - but they don't have power over me anymore - probably because i spent years ignoring them - they just lose their control.

hi charlie brown

you've replied once or twice before when i've posted (i.e. ocd)

you obviously spend a lot of time checking out the blog and trying to help and encourage people. nice of you to do that.

i've always been curious about your pix - what does it represent?

hello. i've had a major flare up with my ocd. i'm just starting to address this with a counsellor as i've had this for over 16 years. my intrusive thoughts are so vulgar and nasty. so out of character for the person that i am. i just want to cry some days - and withdraw completely from social activi...
