Im in need of help for OCD

[UKGirl001]

OK im new here and hoping that someone can help me, im 19 and ive had OCD for 3 yrs now. i dont know why it started all i know is that is in my family. i dont know much about OCD only things i have researched on the net. i have a phobia of hiv/aids which i think has been brought on by OCD because i never used 2 be scared of it, im in constant fear of blood and people throwing it at me on the street and also people always having blood on them. i know this all sounds really stupid but i just cant help it. it used to be finding plasters and needles everywhere but that stopped and now this has started. so if anyone can help me it would really be much appriciated.

hey thats actually a very normal fear for people suffering with Ocd. Let me tell you the same thing happened to me. I would go months at a time just scared to death about hiv aids. The truth is that if its ocd it usually passes in time :)
Though it may not depends on if u have any control of yourself.

Good luck

You definitely cannot look for diagnosis on the net!  You are officially uninformed and reading these things without an official basis from a professional may give you the wrong idea or throw you on a curve.  I don't think you have actual OCD but you'd have to scrounge up the money to talk to a psychiatrist or your general practitioner about that . . .

You might just have a serious phobia that you need therapy for.  Mental issue.
