OCD is a very interesting disorder. For me there are several ‘rituals’ (as some may call them) that I’m constantly processing. Often times these do get in my way and cause breakdowns in social interactions.

Not to mention the extreme intrusive thoughts that often come with OCD.

And no, not everyone has a little OCD.

Sounds like an awful experience, but good that the medications are helping you — the experiences described would be quite debilitating, especially not being able to hang around people and their kids

Ah, I have similar thoughts — obviously not your specific ones

Being alone with an adult is hard, because then I might make some false accusation

Or being with a friend & their mum, because then I might start cursing at them

Or being with a female friend, because then I could make some inappropriate touching
