Hi all I suffer with OCD for 35yrs because I thought if I told anyone they would think I'm weird, I get intrusive thoughts and wash my hands way too much, I didn't even realise I had OCD at first, I just thought they were bad thoughts. Anyone who thinks they may have it needs to go seek help as soon as possible don't leave it like I did.

Hi, I am similar to you I am 42 and have suffered with OCD in varying degrees since early teens. I have never really sought help because I thought the same as you. I have had quite a large part of my life where symptoms have been quite manageable but have got worse the last 6 months as I have been under a lot of stress and feeling quite down. Have been to my doctor and am looking at counselling/ therapy alongside short term medication. Have you had any treatment ?
Hi I have ocd but not diagnosed.. I have becker muscular dystrophy too.. I get intrusive thoughts all the time and suffering from something I did from when I was 10 or 11.. I looked at a 3 or 4 year olds private parts because I was curious what a vagina looked like and I keep thinking did I put my bits on top of hers as I did to a girl when I was 13 to see what it felt like. Now I can't get it out my head and havery suicidal thoughts.. I know I never did but my brain keeps telling me I might of and what if I did.. I'm so scared. I need help.. I have to check doors and cooker and check on the dog about 10 times a night and I have to tap things so many times I can't handle it 
yep therapy
