Discussion Does anyone else have bad ocd? if so What triggers it

[Iwantedtodieforlong]

I wonder if anyone else here has ocd, i have OCD and its complete hell, i have contamination ocd and it takes over my life because it feels like my mind is working against me always trying to trick me and stress me out. I also get paranoid whenever i talk to people (especially guys) because i always get scared if i said or will say something sexual by accident, its to the point where im questioning everything to the point where i don't know what is right or wrong, i wish I can die honestly.

I do. What triggers it is thinking about it, actually. I was finally able to leave the house without showering before I allow myself to enter my room but then this summer I noticed a lot of white stuff floating in the air and thinking how it's touched other people and now it's touching me made me crazy. Now I've fallen right back into the same trap I had gotten out of years ago.

I have severe OCD regarding my body and clothes. I have a hell wearing clothes. Either its too tight or too loose. Or too big or too small etc. This involves every part of clothing. Shoes, socks, pants, shorts, t shirts and basically everything else. This is the main reason why I want to escape this thing called life. And yeah, my life is a complete mess also. Full of chaos. Basically because of my condition. Mixed with bad choices in life.

Nothing triggers my ocd. Its there all the time.

I find taking showers more often and avoiding toxic people help.
Try relaxing baths as well, whenever no one interrupts you.

Yeah I have OCD. In my opinion it's by far the worst mental illness, and I also have Anorexia, BPD, depression, autism, and probably ptsd…
I've had pretty much every ocd 'theme' at this stage, pure mental torture

And yeah. I have a big problem buying clothes and shoes too. So basically anything regarding wearing and buying clothes and thinking about clothes all the time. The worst condition ever. Never meet or heard of anybody else who has the same as me. I've been called special before by some therapists, but I just consider myself severely and completely fucked up

 

[Dear Agony]

Yeah I have OCD. There was no specific trigger for me. Just every moment of every day is hell because of it. My OCD surrounds any theme I am concerned about at all, it gets in the way of almost every aspect of my life.

Nothing triggers it because it is ever present. Food, clothing, my body. Absolutely every decision I make or don't make and interaction I have or don't have. It's very controlling. Like a parasite that drives me.

What about your body and clothes? I have OCD regarding my body and clothes too

 

[exhausteduntreatable]

My clothes get contaminated by the outside environment and the feelings and emotions of other people I interact with. Washing them might help a little but they feel permanently marked by the experience. I often end up not wearing clothing I buy. Waste of money. They look stupid on me anyways. I have been told I have body dysmorphic disorder but I just think I see the ugly reality.

My body is a long story. I hate flesh touching flesh and my chest shouldn't exist. When I was forced to gain weight I had to shower in the pitch black with a brush on a handle and I would vomit and have panic attacks. Changing clothing was also a terrible ordeal. It was hell. I wanted to cut my flesh off. Came close sometimes but would settle for bludgeoning myself with pipes and hammers.

Everything I wear feels unpleasant for me. Nothing fits me. I too have trouble buying clothes. It's almost impossible for me. I feel my body is wrong because clothes doesn't fit me. Right now I wanna CTB. Waiting to get money for N, so I can leave. Should have done it a long time ago, when I had the cash for it.

I have pretty severe OCD. It sometimes stands in the way of things like cooking or getting ready to leave the house. However it actually used to be even much worse, so I take what improvement I got.

Pure OCD over here, diagnosed about... a month ago? It is torture.
----------
What triggers it? It doesn't have to be triggered. It is always there, every second of the day. Every second of the week, month. And it is like this for years. I think 3. I can't remember.
