I have had intense horrible thoughts a bit more often recently for the last month.
They are disturbing and I can't seem to control them my biggest fears are If manic depression will come back and I was told I never even had it but I can't accept it and I've had OCD symptoms like "Sex - Sexual impulses/images/thoughts" from the symptoms page here which I think is OCD and HOCD.
I'm worried as I had to ask for reassurance atleast 3 times a day on the same topic. For example I was a bit moody the other day my instant thought was "I'm going mad or schizo" and I believe it. My sex drive seems to have gone funny now as I get bad thoughts and it puts me off. I'm worried as I can't be bothered looking for a g.f now and I feel it's not like me and could be affected by these thoughts.
I feel they are trying to take over and turn me into something I'm not. I know it's not me but when these thoughts come to mind i don't believe anybody or myself it's the thoughts are right when they are not. I'm really sick of it I've had the same thoughts for over a year I feel they will never ease and the longer I'm single the less confident I seem to be which gives me more of these horrible thoughts.
It feels like somebody has come in and took over all my thoughts and I need to check myself alot especially when I had toilet trouble or I have to check my down below when I get the HOCD symptoms. I've only ever had g.fs and I am happy about that but these disturbing thoughts make me act all funny and check myself and give me thoughts which are not me.
What reassurance can you give me? I tried googling it and going on other forums but they don't seem very good and it actually makes me feel 10 times worse.
