Those intrusive thoughts! Does anyone else have these ones?

I have had more than my fair share of Intrusive thoughts. Lately these are the ones I have been trying to get over:

- Am I going crazy?
- What if I lose control?
- What if I go crazy?
- Fear of harming myself or loved ones
- Fear of being looked upon as discusting in society

I've had many more since I first developed Anxiety Disorders and OCD in 8th grade. Any feedback would be wonderful =)

I have intrusive sexual thoughts and intrusive worries about my appearance and body. It's VERY hard to live with this.

Yes i get intrusive sexual thoughts too! I'll worry that I don't really know my sexuality... Or that i'll turn into a pedophile (even tho that is disgusting and so not me).... i'll worry that my sexual feelings aren't normal...i'll worry i'm not sexually attracted to my boyfriend and therefore i have to tell him adn he'll break up with me...and then i'll get terrible disturbing sexual images that I can't get out of my head. Anyone else have these too???

Yup. Very common for ppl with OCD to have HOCD and POCD. I have HOCD, it's fucking disgusting and makes me very depressed, also kills my libido. Just remember to not believe anything you tell yourself lol.

Here's a good OCD forum that helped me when I was at my worst. You can tell your story and get good reassurance when you need it most. Some people over there are completely fucked though and their stories will make you spike bad.

i feel like i am going crazy, like i will kill my girlfriend or anybody on the bust infront of me, Feel like i will rob a convenience store.
Hurt people, cut my rabbits ears off.. Etc.

I've been trying to get a hold of a psychologist for weeks now. I left a message on the broad's phone to call me after 2 pm tomorrow and I'm hoping tomorrow is the big day!! I know meds aren't the long term answer but I need a break from this constant worry... I hope things get better.

I always used to have the kinds of thoughts you mention. My answer to it is to keep as busy as possible. I write stories, mainly, but I also maintain and promote several websites. The result is that I've absolutely no chance of worrying about the things you mentioned (they're superfluous to eating, drinking, and maintaining the few friendships I have) but I'm almost always in blue-arsed-fly mode.

If you want to find any story ideas to write (and stories are a particularly good way of getting away from such thoughts) then try Googling 'plot bunny / plot bunnies' and you should get plenty of replies! That or go looking for fanfiction forums - they'll have lots too.
