    I'm tired of people claiming OCD when they have no idea

    Again today I hear the claim that someone wants things just so because of OCD. UGH!!!! Why don't people understand that OCD is not a quirky or cute thing. It is mental torture. I did correct someone on Facebook yesterday, but today I just let it go. I know they don't mean any harm. Heck...

    Ocd and my failure as a mother

    My son recently turned 18 and it is bringing up a whole bunch of thoughts (along with the crowd of thoughts already in my brain). I feel that I gave him very little joy in his life. I feel that I didn't teach him some of the common sense stuff all young people should know. I feel that...

    fear for my son

    I am afraid my son maybe bipolar. I feel that I border on it sometimes, but I don't think I actually have the disorder. I do have OCD as does my son. I will describe what he does and see what you all think. He sometimes sings silly commercials, repeats movie lines and just goofs off while...

    any quilters

    I took up quilting about 6 years ago. I was wondering if there are any other quilters here. If there are, what do you think of this idea: I would like to make a reversible quilt for my son. He will be graduating from high school next fall. He really likes a certain pattern, but a lot of...

    struggling with beliefs

    I have been a Christian for many years, but now find myself questioning a lot of the basic Christian tenets if you will. I don't like to read the Bible--too many confusing things there and stuff that doesn't make sense. I still believe there is a God and I still believe in Jesus. I am just...

    ocd thoughts and heart thougts

    This helps me some: When trying to decide which thoughts are my own desires and which are OCD, I can ask myself is this what I want in my heart or am I disturbed by this thought. If I am disturbed by it, then it is most likely OCD. If I am not disturbed by it, then it is most likely a thought...

    doubts, fears, decisions

    I imagine many people here can understand what I go through on a daily basis. 1. Small, insignificant (or should be) things are so hard to deal with. 2. Making decisions can be a nightmare. 3. Feeling locked inside my brain with no escape. 4. Actually having a feeling of being worn...

    moments of clarity

    I was just wanting to see if others have the moments when they feel perfectly normal and the OCD thing seems so far away and you even feel NORMAL. Wow, what a feeling. I felt really good last night and this morning. I hope this lasts a long time, but I must admit that I don't hold a lot of hope...

    hello and a poem for fellow OCDers

    I am fairly new to this forum and I wanted to introduce myself and say that there is great hope in Jesus Christ. I started having OCD symptoms in my late teens and I had no idea what was going on. I went for years like that. I had feelings that maybe I had blasphemed the Holy Spirit. Just...
