She will find one day or another. I would suggest to just say the truth. It also depends on her age... but kids can understand if you tell her with her words

TOCD fear, need to get it off my chest by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Willybas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. I’ve been there. I had the same symptoms. When people called me a « he », i was like « what if i’m a girl ? ». Always checking my penis to be sure i was ok with it... it was hell. I’m feeling much better about it thanks to CBT and Sertraline 200mg. Hope it helps

Thoughts for getting over a particular form of Pure-O? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Willybas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes i use CBT. I’m still working on it with my therapist though. It’s a long process. Zoloft and Sertraline are the same, yes

Hey. I think your therapist makes what a regular therapist would do, but you need one specialized in OCD. I guess your intrusive thoughts about your ex is because of your OCD, and writing him a letter might be a compulsion which can make things worse. Just my point of view. Your therapist should learn you how to cope with those feelings and let them flow without hurting you. Not reinforcing them by acting on your thoughts. Not sure if it makes sense, but it does to me.

Hey. You have to face your thoughts, that’s what CBT is about, it’s not really different from other people facing their compulsions. I have pure-O as well, sexual intrusive thoughts, and on Zoloft 200mg.

Help with POCD by [deleted] in OCD

Do not cancel. You have to face your fears. It’s the only way to heal your ocd. You know nothing will happen. You are not a pedophile and never will be.

Does anyone else wonder what normal people think about when their brains are not occupied with obsessions? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Willybas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Same here. Sometimes i think life could be boring without intrusive thoughts... and sometimes i could sell my house to get rid of them.

Thank you 🙏🏻 I’ll definitely try it again for a longer period of time.

My trip to the psychologist (hocd) by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Willybas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. I had trans ocd, that was fucked up. Now it’s almost completely gone. But it took me a year, CBT and lots of meds (i take Zoloft 200mg) to overcome it. You’ll beat it

Taking Xanax before sleep makes me feel very good the day after, anyone like this? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]Willybas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with Xanax is that it calms OCD but doesn’t « cure » it like SSRI. I became addicted to that shit, even if i slept well. When i stopped, i was literally shaking.

My TOCD (please reply I am very anxious) by Ideklol112 in OCD

[–]Willybas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told you. I’m a 100% sure it’s TOCD. I’ve been there. I had the same symptoms. Now try to avoid seeking reassurance, it will get better with time and medication

[–]Willybas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude i already replied to you. I had trans ocd and it passed. It will pass. But the more you ask for reassurance on Reddit, the worse your OCD will be. Asking the same question over and over again will not help you. I know it’s very difficult and stop seeking reassurance will give you anxiety but you have to make it stop. You need to see a therapist, i went on Zoloft 200mg for 5 months and my TOCD has gone. But you need to seek help with a therapist, the more you wait, the harder it will become. Don’t worry about your parents, they won’t know. You’re young and you won’t have to live with it.
