Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. I was wondering if someone will be able to help me. I’m worried I don’t have OCD, and that I’m actually a weirdo. I haven’t ever been diagnosed with OCD, but I think I may have had it in the past. I used to dislike the number 13 and numbers in the three times tables and if, for example, I was in one room and wanted to step into another, I wouldn’t be able to until my final step would be one not in the three times tables. I thought I would die if I ever did anything associated with those numbers. Then, as I got older, I started worrying about illness. If I touched something and thought something like “-person- will get ill and die” I would have to keep touching that same thing until I no longer thought that and thought “-person- will always be alive and well-“.This might not have been OCD I’m not sure. Now I have disgusting thoughts. I think things about my family, my dog and children. Once I had this thought about kids and I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. I regretted it after and wished I hadn’t had the thought. I don’t want to be a horrible person who is attracted to children and I know I would never hurt a child. I also sometimes stare at private parts of people, most specifically my family, but sometimes with children as well. I’m not sure if I want it to happen or if it’s an accident. I feel like when I do it I actually want to, I feel like I thought “look at their private parts” before I did look but it doesn’t always happen like that! I feel like maybe that happens sometimes but not always. I don’t want to have that thought though. I really don’t want to be this way. I hate the idea that I would want to look at my family or dog inappropriately I love them I would never want to hurt them! I really hope it’s not premeditated but I feel like it is. The other day my dog was lying down and I don’t know if I thought “look at his private parts” or not but I looked and I knew it was bad but I kept looking and I was doing it later as well but I honestly don’t want to be a bad person. I think later like after the first time I didn’t want to look because I knew it was awful but I feel like the first time it was premeditated but maybe it wasn’t. I really don’t want to be a weirdo and a bad person. But I don’t even know if I experience enough anxiety over it for it to be OCD! I feel like I don’t feel anxious enough when I do these bad things, as if I’m a bad person who wants to be this way. I don’t want to be bad. I know I don’t want to be a bad person. I really hope it’s OCD. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please help me.

Have you ever tryed talking to someone about whats going for you? it sounds quite serious and honestly it's nothing to be ashamed about, talking to someone could help you figure things out as well, and maybe get some help. i hope this maybe helped you a bit

Hello, I am new here, and confused about the setup of the site.

Is it still running?

I am looking for advice, and not sure where to go. If anyone sees this, help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, it is still running. I think people haven't been as active recently because some of us are back at school On this site, there are 4 main sections you can write in. This is the support forum, which you write in when you have a problem or a worry and others will try and help. The general discussion forum is usually used for the same thing, but you can also use it to just talk to people and share your thoughts on OCD. Then you have the achievements section, where you write things you have done successfully to try and conquer your OCD, or anything you're proud of. The news section is where information about meet-ups is placed. Mostly, I use the forums, but you can click on Home to find more information, About Us to learn more about the creators of the site, Articles, Blogs and Videos to find out more about OCD and if you need some support or want to report something, you can look at Support & Info or click Contact Us. I was confused at first as well. I hope this helps!
