Hi I am Donnie. I am 29-years-old and I have been suffering from pure ocd for 5 years. I have violent thoughts, sexual thoughts. Normally they are controlled by medication but I so have relapses of depression where all I do is cry and think I am going to jail and lose everyone.
I am looking for a friend, or two. Someone who knows what this is like. I have an excellent support system in my wife, parents, and friends. But they do not understand what this disease is like.
If you are interested in just talking about it, or whatever, just message me.
Hi Donnie. Thanks for sharing. I have gone back and forth in my life in times where I feel like my OCD was under control and other times where it was controlling my mind. I have always tried to figure out what causes these cycles and wanted to see if you ever had the same thing.
I have never really heard the term pure OCD before, but I think I may have it myself after reading what you wrote.
As my main example, my thoughts and feelings are almost completely opposite from one another.
I know I love my family but I feel like I could still hurt them beacuse it would be fun. I know its horrible but I cant do anyhting about this feeling of speciality I get when I think I could do this. It is as if this makes me unique and feel good about myself. My OCD I notice, tends to make me achieve a certain feeling of certainty that is unreasonable but makes me feel good.
Donnie, I am sorry you're suffering so much and we all are hear to support you, hope you know that YOU ARE NOT A STRANGER OR STRANGE! I know what it is like. I offer my help in any way, besides, answering posts get my mind focused off other things too so it helps both of us, it makes me feel better and I hope it cheers you a little. God BLess!
Hey sysakpa, See the discussion "This may sound really crazy but..." which is active, that might shed some light on OCD-Obsessive, Compulsive Disorder. Obsessing thoughts words, actions, and feeling compelled to do something even if it is irrational at times(me checking the mailbox when I got the mail, always checking for my keys, handwashing constantly things like that I have and obsessive thinking that cycles around and around and repeats itself even though I know it shouldn't. In my case, meds help. Does that help? and check out the other discussion.
