Finieas, sorry to hear you are going through this. I have OCD and I too have intrusive thoughts. Not just the 'disturbing/disgusting' kind but also I am plagued by self-doubt and insecurities. This has made my life unmanageable in the past few weeks, to the point where, today, I am tempted to just disconnect from everyone and everything since contact with people and the rest of the world is overwhelming and seems to only escalate the situation. I hope you have found some solace in the last few days. Apparently CBT can help with some of these symptoms, though I haven't taken it for OCD, only for panic disorder, so I can't recommend it from personal experience. Today I really wanted to cancel all my plans and not go out or see anybody, or do anything, but I think after reading this and knowing I am not alone, I am going to do it anyway. I hate thinking that this thing could win.
