ocd about sexual things and bodily functions

[olneyjamesb@gmail.comParticipant]

I never used to have any problems with sexual stuff, used to relieve myself when i felt like it and where i felt like it.

now I have developed a fear of what comes out of my body.

so I haven’t done anything myself for about 7 or 8 months.

I was on fluoxetine which also messed with my thoughts about it all. Ive now been off it 3 weeks.

How do I re learn how to enjoy myself ?

I feel like I need to remind myself its not something to be afraid of, and wont go everywhere.

any help please report back!
