HI Shais,

good luck with what you’re going through.

I changed you email a little bit so the spam bots (hopefully!) won’t get it. I’ve seen what can happen when you put your email address online.

Anyway, you might want to put up a blog, too, about this. I would imagine a lot of people would read it.

Hi,

I have obsessive thoughts where I can’t stop stare at people from outside my eye corners. I can’t help it and people notice that I stare at them. I can’t sit in the car, in the classroom or be near any one without staring at them. It’s not that I turn my head at them and stare at them, no, I don’t turn my head but look from outside the eye corners or peripheral.

Because of this OCD staring issue I have stoped school and now also work as I can’t be near anyone without hurting and disturbing people as people reacht when I stare at them.

I have been to hospital as suicidable due to this as the life and all this doesn’t make sense. But now I feel better due to medications. Right now I am awaiting proper treatment.

But I want to find people suffering from the same so we can share experience and help each other. It’s nice to know that you are not alone.

So please feel free to write to me at: shais (AT) hotmail.dk

Or find me at Facebook: My name is ‘Shais Anees’, thank you

Obsessive thoughts torture me. I seem to go through cycles that can last months and always bring me horrible heartache and despair when I go through them. They seem to be coming more often now that I’m getting older.

I usually obsess over a person and fancy myself in love–no matter how unrealistic it is This time, it’s Patrick Swayze–yes a dead man. I saw him in North and South several weeks ago and haven’t been able to get over him. I feel like I’m grieving over his death. I spend endless hours researching him, gathering photos of him, and fantasizing about him.

Usually, however, it’s someone I know in life. Once it was a doctor who flirted with me. Another time it was an ex-boss who abused me years ago. I woke up one day and fancied myself in love with him. I contacted him, and he abused me again. The obsession/grief from that lasted for more than a year.

The first one happened when I was only 12-years old when I obsessed over a boy I met at the park. I went back every day for years, hoping to see him again.

Sometime Prozac brings it under control if it’s caught early in the cycle. It’s definitely a form of OCD and bipolar depression. I don’t believe it’s in my will to stop it when I go through these cycles. Luckily, I’ve never acted on these obsessions–except to contact the abusive boss. I do recognize that they’re illogical but can’t stop doing it.

also felt like this sometimes. I hated my self because I can’t stop thinking about things that I don’t want to do. I am scared of thought of being a murderer or a molester or lesbian things that in my heart I don’t want to become, but my brain sometimes couldn’t stop thinking and it just makes me depress. sometimes when I am feeling like this I just wish am dead cause all I want in my life is to be a good person I am scared that I will have a negative thought that lead into become bad person. I hate it. That’s why I am so happy that I know God he gives me relief from this crap feeling from my obsess thought. I was listening to the music “be thou my vision o lord of my heart…. and your my best thought day and night” so I know that the best thought on my mind is God, God knows that I am bad it just happen that I am just obsses sometimes. Thats God and God doesn’t lie at me only satan does. Satan lies at us he doesnt want us too feel good. We only feel good if we listen to Jesus when we listen to the positive that’s the best thought in our mind ( I am not like that). and that is Jesus. pray over that negative thoughts tell God that satan is no power to hurt you and lie at you because you have God that is more stronger than anybody than anything in the world that will conquer the evil. We will just pray for each other. Amen

where does one find hope:where does it come from,where and how does one reconize it when it does show up then what shall i do with it hope is it only a word ?or is it something that sustaines a life hope is it something that i can see hope is it something that i belivein ,hope is it a gift from God? this present state of mind what i feel what i know , what i say,what i do, and how i live i hope that i am living right! only time can tell if i will endure lifes tests the reason to exist the purpose i have been born to live and the answer that i hope to find ,is hope the finial destiny the finial conclusion i will experience upon leaving this body,i hope that this path that i am on will lead me back home to paridise the place where i came from in my heavenly fathers mind,home my only hope which is so divine hope is Gods way to guide us through jesus christ through faith in Gods word hope in the truth the way and the life hope…………………………..
