Part of what I struggle with are my uncontrollable thoughts. Randomly I will have thoughts about hurting myself or others, although I would never follow through. I tell myself it is not me its my OCD. The ones that seem to occur on a regular basis are the ones about having sex with random ppl i see on the street. The ppl may/may not be attractive, but it still floods my mind. It is like I see myself with them and I am a third party.....
At first I thought this may just be a sex thing I need to deal with, but could it be part of the OCD?

#1 - Someone else mentioned the bipolar thing, but in my uneducated understanding of bipolar, I thought that meant you were extremely happy one day and depressed the next. Does being bipolar cause you to actually act on impulses?
Often times these thoughts interferes with my relationships because I become phyiscal too soon, if I can hold off at all - its like I cant 'not' do it. While that may be okay some of the time, I worry what it makes me out to be. What am I supposed to do? Not date? Not go out in public?
#2 I will def check out that book. At this point I am at a loss of what to do. It is like I can't control it. Its starting to make me sick.

The thing is, I don't seem to have control over it, just outta the blue it is in my mind, like bam - i see it happening...
i could be out eating lunch and someone will walk in and then there it is, this vivid 'picture' in my mind of the two of us having sex right there, knocking over stuff, whatever... sometimes i cannot get my mind off of it and i have to purposely think of other tangible feelings... things like the fork in my hand or a drink in my mouth - something else to focus on otherwise the thought continues. does that make sense?
