Hi everyone my name is Lil, I'm 20 and I have had OCD since I was about 4yrs old. My parents took me to see someone and I overcame alot of the irrational behaviour- for example this one time I refused to get out of the car and go into the bank with mum because i didnt have any shoes on. I was convined that there were needles on the footpath that I would step on and contract aids from. I knew in my right mind that there wasnt and mum even showed me that there wasn't but still I could not overcome this obsessive thought. I also thought that germs were being carried through the air and into my mouth so I began to compulsively spit into a tissue. I would never swallow as I thought I would get a disease. As I got older and had more sessions with a professional I overcame alot of these thoughts. However I have found that in times of stress they come back. I have just learnt to hide them. Which is apparently a very common thing to do.
Recently both my mother and father have each been diagnosed with cancer and are fighting their seperate battles as we speak. You can imagine how irtrational my fears are getting at the moment. All my old fears have returned plus some new ones. I would like to chat to someone who has any info on becoming obsessed with certain people? this also seems to be a re-occuring problem it also causes alot of angst. would love to chat to someone! Cheers!
