Hey Everybody,
I need your advice. I have had OCD for years and have been on and off of medication depending how life is going at the time. I can ignore most of my OCD symptoms but I have a hard time ignoring my scary thoughts that are of violence and sexual in nature especially toward people I really care about. I understand that I need to accept these thoughts to desensitize myself and that this is just part of my OCD. I worry that if my love ones finds out that I am having scary thoughts about them that they are going to leave me because they just will not understand. So I need your advice on how to tell people in my life that I have OCD with scary thoughts (sometimes about them) without them running. I told a girl I dated about ten years ago and she blew it out of proportion so much and made me feel like I was some kind of terrible person and it basically costed me my job and a lot of headaches. I did not ask for OCD and I know that everyone has these thoughts that I have but I am more sensitive to them and they scare me. I feel I need to tell people that I am getting close to that this is a part of me, not who I am but I want to be honest. So how do I or should I even say a word??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Posted on 04/17/08, 06:04 pm |

I was having daily intrusive thoughts. They were all horrible thoughts that usually involved. Death, murder, suicide, and the like. CBT was recommended, but you cannot be helped if your thoughts are too loud and disruptive. Since starting Zoloft, I haven't had a single panic attick or obsessive thought and mine were all day every day. I don't like mess, but it is what made the pain go away so I am sticking to it. I hope that helps. Also, try pc/smartphone apps that have binaural beats. I have found brain entrainment and meditation...GOOD MEDITATION to work reasonably well. I have a fantastic mp3 that usually chills me out. I you want to try it, email me. Good luck and keep the hope,
Jay
