I find im struggling with ocd thoughts at the moment. They are way more obvious now that most of my physical rituals have gone. We had this talk on friday, where we had a real concentration camp survivor come and talk to the sixth form and year 9's. I had the most horrible thoughts going through my head as they showed us this video of Auschwitz, which weren't even what i wanted to think! Things like "oh but they deserved it" and much worse; horrible, cruel thoughts which were completely wrong and not what I believe at all. I can't do this anymore. They are becoming unbearable, to the point where they are disrupting my everyday life. A few of my friends know about my ocd, and ive tried to talk to them about it but it's impossible to even approach the subject, as it can sometimes even be sexual thoughts particularily in like my church youth group and things. They plague me and come up at the most inappropriate moments.

It's difficult to think "it's the ocd" rather than "I should be locked up, im such a horrible person". I feel very lost and confused. I can't fully open up to anyone about it and i have no way of getting medical help because my parents don't know i even have ocd and the 'school counsellor' can only do so much. Looks like it's another year of ocd until i reach university and can get help....that is if i can hold out till then.

I would urge you to let your parents know of your OCD, and pursue getting some help in terms of medications and treatment.  The fact that you are on this website is a good start, but it's going to take more.

The transition you have noted is part of the natural history of the disorder.  As people grow up, overall they tend to have fewer problems with the compulsive behaviors, and more problems with the obsessive thoughts. 

 If you haven't already read it, I would suggest reading Brain Lock, by Jeffrey Schwartz.  It's the model that, over the years, people tell me has been most helpful in terms of dealing with the obsessions. 

Good luck with this.

  My heart goes out to you! I understand what your feeling. I have suffered from OCD for a very long time. The thoughts are always the same, but different subjects that are usually unrational, sexual in bad ways, religion, and or violent. They all cause distress and terrible anxiety with alot of sadness. It seems like the more you try to get rid of the thoughts the more intrusive they become and the more obsessed you are. Usually also OCD attacks a subject that is really something that is agianst in your heart Please know that your not crazy-thou you may feel like you are and know the thoughts you are having are not yours, but the OCD.  Try therapy and medication! The medication has helped me alot. Your not alone! I wish well. Faith

..u know what the difference is between a sociopath & a moral person?? its having the knowledge of "right & wrong"..& even though some of these imaged thoughts rumaging thru ur head are morally despicable for u ur being able to recognize that fact puts u in the "moral majority" as it were..ur fine & I would not worry about this hun..besides images of the Holocaust would be enough to give ANYONE nightmarish thoughts..be strong..
