Hi - just a week ago my doctor basically confirmed I was suffering with OCD. I have had problems over the past 4 years (since I was 21) with intrusive thoughts which I thought were symptons of depression and I now know is OCD. The first thought was I was gay which I now believe is common. It was awful as I knew I wasnt but couldnt stop thinking about it. Couldnt sleep, eat or go to work or be intimate with my partner as images kept flashing up in my mind. It then proceeded after that with violent thoughts that I would harm my youngest brother which really frightened me as I am not that kind of person at all. I felt ashamed and guilty. I went to the docs at that time but failed to tell her any of this as I was embarrased. She put me on Citalopram which seemed to work. In the meantime I have come off the tablets twice now and just recently gone back on them as I was starting to get intrusive thoughts again. I keep thinking that my finance is my brother and I shouldnt be intimate with him as its wrong. I know this is silly but it wont get out of my head. Can anyone relate? Sorry its such along message.
