HyperOcd

[i cant stay normalParticipant]

Hello everyone. I really don’t know what to do. I’m sick with ocd and probably hyper. I constantly have thoughts about it, whether real or not (when I look at someone, I think that too). When I stand still, my brain signals me to move my body in strange movements. When I’m alone with someone not with a woman, but with a man, I have such a goddamn urge to say something. I also have this when [content edited by Moderator], or do something, I still have it all day and I don’t want to have it. I also have this thing to do something I’m afraid because I may have those thoughts or suicidal thoughts. Is there a cure for that. Plea
