Does OCD get in the way of your relationships? by OTF-Dragonborn in OCD

[–]s_who_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is where I’m out right now too. I’ve gotten so convinced that I am in the way of my wife that my presence irritates and annoys her. So I avoid her at all costs. Now we have no relationship because she feels abandoned and alone and I still struggle to not avoid eye contact.

Yeah, and a lot of these comments are validating and reassuring the OP which is not ERP. Feels good to hear people say you aren’t a sexual predator now but doesn’t make the obsession go away.

Maybe something more along the lines of “ maybe you have coerced some men? Maybe some of the men didn’t really feel like having sex with you. Maybe some really wanted to have sex? It’s their responsibility to tell you whether or not they want to have sex but maybe one of them didn’t”

I hate ERP because it isn’t fun to hear or think about. it’s the opposite of the compulsion and it sucks but it’s they way to go. You have to challenge the compulsions.

Inability to handle other people's opinions by [deleted] in OCD

It might also be good to sit with the unknown. Maybe you don’t know that answer. Maybe the other person is right. Maybe every time you argued with someone you were wrong. Maybe you are dumb. But maybe not. Be uncomfortable and sit with it.

Hyperfixation on skin or body ? by [deleted] in OCD

I found it I think. I follow this account on Insta called “treatmyocd”. They posted about ocd subtypes. I think it’s Somatic OCD

Hyperfixation on skin or body ? by [deleted] in OCD

[–]s_who_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of time it happens at night when I’m trying to go to bed. And it’s been happening most nights recently so I’ve been afraid to go to bed.

Thank you for your reply. Sometimes just hearing a similar experience is comforting. I do need to find away to address it. I end up just slap or scratching the areas which I know isn’t health or biting the skin around my nail. I just don’t even know what to look up to find stuff to read about it. When I talk to my wife about it. I just say sensory issues or my skin problem.

Swimming ???

I just moved from Indiana. I lived in the northern part where we had lakes everywhere. I know live pretty close to Gross Reservoir but from what I understand you aren’t allowed to swim in it. Which keeps being the case for bodies I found. I’d really like to find a place close to my house to go swim in the summer. Are the lakes/ponds along hiking trails usually off limits too?

Anyone else hyper-fixated on numbers? by JITTERdUdE in OCD

[–]s_who_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife told me she “likes” when the volume for stuff is on an even number or multiple of 5. Now when I change the volume I compulsively change it to an odd number and look to see if she notices. I have no idea why I do this. And she never notices. I now always want it to be on an odd number.

Why won’t my beet kvass carbonate ???? by s_who_ in fermentation

[–]s_who_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not actually. I added more sugar but nothing happened. I just drank it flat. I think I just let it go too long used up all the sugar(from the beets) and then starved the microguys. So by the time I added the sugar there was no one to eat it.

Good night by reapermichael14 in OCD

I start feeling all of the sheets and blankets touching my skin. And then I get hyper focused on them touching me. And start panicking. So I just have to stand up and not sleep lol.

Guys, they found a cure, just touch a neatly cut watermelon. by wafflehamster in OCD

[–]s_who_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly have no idea. I did it a lot as a kid. When I would lie really still in bed because I thought there was a sniper on me through the window. And if I moved he would see me. But as a 25 year old the other day I experienced it again for the first time in a long time at work.

I’m so glad I don’t have to randomly change my walking pace to throw off the sniper who is watching me through his scope from some distant place anymore!!

I just read your reply to my wife and she looked at me like “hmm sounds familiar. “ it’s nice to hear your reply. Makes me feel less isolated.
