Hello everyone of the community of OCD. I have a High level of sexual desire and that's make me distress, especially when I have to do things and I'm working with other people's. Therefore, when I'm talking with anyone after a while I become excite and during my job I have to effort myself to be concentrate in what my colleagues saying to me and almost of the time I don't understand what they said. I'm aware that I need to go outside but, I'm lonely, almost of the time, and I'm not effort myself to go outside and have fun. I never played with other people's to have fun and explain who I really are and my colleagues they don't have this problem so, everytime they jugging me ( and they said true) and I accept that, I take this as a suggestion but I'm not changing, I'm still the same, nasty, nervous, pity, layer ecc..Anyone have the same problem as me??

Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure that you are not nasty or anything else so bad. I and I think most of the people in this OCD community feel like we don't belong, that we are not like other people, that everybody else is 'normal' and we are not. But that doesn't mean it is true. It sounds like your colleagues are the nasty ones for judging you so harshly. They are bullying you. Don't accept that what they say is true.

It's perfectly normal to feel high sexual desire and it's obviously frustrating if you don't have a partner! It sounds like you have depression, and that stops you from going out and having fun. I'm not surprised you are depressed if your colleagues bully you. It's enough to make anyone's self-esteem go down.

It could be worth asking for a prescription for antidepressants to help you, at least for a while. They do take several weeks before they start to work properly, but they can be a great help.

Then stand up to the bullies at work. They have no right to treat you like this. Perhaps also go on a course or get a book to help you with self-esteem.

And don't let anyone treat you like that! They have their own faults.

I agree with Sally, don’t be so hard on yourself, I don’t think you’re nasty or anything like that. Those people harassing you are just unhappy with themselves and just want to bring you down with them, and we all get lonely (especially me all the time), this whole year I’ve isolated myself from almost everyone, then I realized that I can’t do that. But for your colleagues, whenever they try to make you feel bad about yourself, don’t be afraid to stand up to them because you deserve to be treated better than that.

yes, but sometimes they want just to suggest to me that I have do do something to change. I'm sure that's is my fault, because I have estranged myself to the social life, that's mean that I'm crying about my discomfort but I don't anything to change.I often feel an attraction for women, sometimes I have instincts and scenes of violence in the imagination and in the unconscious towards the male sex. I'm often nervous, I look badly at my colleagues and I don't understand what they tell me because when I am excited I try to repress contact and sexual play among my colleagues, also because I have not yet defined and clear my sexuality and I'm already '37 years and I don't know if it is good to take antidepressants, I've already' taken for 15 years and I have only led to plug in for the first months the libido and then after the same problem returned. Now I'm going to a therapist, but it's a very long thing and I've just started now

I hope the therapist helps. Talking things over with someone sympathetic can help get things clearer in your mind. Sexuality can be a fluid, ever-changing thing with many people, so don't think you have to have a clear sexual identity, because you don't. Many people don't.

It can be very isolating, having OCD, as it stops you from going out, particularly if you are also depressed. And that makes you feel lonely. Perhaps try joining an organization that does things you like doing, and gives you the opportunity to meet people you have something in common with.

It sounds like your colleagues are not nice people. Don't accept that what they say about you is true. Is there someone in authority at work you could speak to? They should not be allowed to bully you. It's their fault, not yours.

Antidepressants can be a great help so keep on with them if they help. Don't take them just to damp down your libido. Better to put your effort into meeting someone to share it with!

well, then I don't take psychiatric drugs, I would use them only to buffer the libido and I have abused in recent years without even going to the doctor. Now, starting to have a social life at work without using antidepressants, I think that my real discomfort is that I'm not so able to go to parties and have fun and communicate bodily feelings with others peoples. This means that by holding back these impulses then I look bad and I refuse to have contact with others just because I don't open myself with others and I call it a big defect..and I'm lazy too, i prefer to stay at home and to don't see anyone, it's more simple way to get off..
