I’m 22F and I’m really suffering but it’s probably my fault. I developed an OCD theme about me cheating. I will obsess about this game I played for a while it’s a virtual game and essentially you buy clothes etc post photos whatever. It’s fun and I don’t leave my house because of panic attacks. But then I started obsessing about cheating because people would name servers random names. My bf does not think it’s cheating neither do I. I also got intrusive thoughts about a male friend so I stopped talking to the opposite sex socially period. And I even isolated myself from women because I would get thoughts. I’ve self-harmed over the fact I’m a cheater or could be. And I’ve made suicide threats and attempted to break up with boyfriend. I’m trying medication soon

Hey, I am proud of you for trying medication! I have OCD and sertraline has been wonderful for me. I had to get up to 200mg to notice a big difference. OCD thoughts are so hard. The more you react to them the stronger they get. Are you able to do talk therapy as well?

@Pem I’m in therapy, my first therapist said I didn’t have ocd because I don’t pick my hands or magically think. I thought she was wrong so I found a new one, this therapist seems good.
