    Okay I have a big problem that eats up my time, exhausts me emotionally and ruins my day, it does not let me study either. Three types of OCD right now absolutely wrecking my life.

    First type: Hit and run OCD. Ive been having this on and off for a few years but its gotten worse now. Simple way to describe it: I drive to class and on the way I take a turn, theres a pedestrian 2-5 feet away from me but I convince myself that I have hit him and I have to stop look back to make sure I havent hit him.

    If I have driven too far ahead, I have to turn my vehicle around and go to the spot where I think I did it even if im running late, id rather let my teachers yell at me than die of anxiety in class thinking i committed a crime..

    Its gotten so bad, I stop driving and check for dents and blood marks as "proof" that I might have done something wrong and not noticed.. its driving me insane. A couple of times, I came home.. was not able to sleep, had to drive ALL THE WAY BACK, checking the path I drove in making sure I didn't hurt anyone. This is absolutely STUPID and a complete WASTE of my time.

    Second type is somewhat similar, fear of committing a crime online:
    *nofap trigger warning*
    I recently relapsed by using pornhub, right on the front page I saw a thumbnail that said school girl and I did not open it because the person looked too young and its weird as hell, I went to the feedback form and told them its probably not above 18 and ITS ON THE FRONT PAGE.

    Now I cant stop thinking about it, that I did something wrong just by looking, not even opening it, it happened 4-5 times now, Ive seen something on a LEGAL WEBSITE and the girl looks somewhat young.. and I start PANICKING. I DONT WANT TO GO ANYWHERE NEAR THAT STUFF.

    this happened yesterday after a good streak of abstinence of porn and m entirely.. almost 24 hours later, im still worried that i did something wrong.. that I'm a bad person

    3rd OCD type is sexual intrusive thoughts: This one has to be THE WORST. Ive legit thought about killing myself. Places of worship, family, people your not supposed to think about that way, my mind does that and it absolutely cripples me with disgustion and guilt, I feel like im a monster and I deserve to be killed. I don't have to means to see a professional, please nofap, help me.. I cant live like this anymore

    TLDR: I keep having inappropriate sexual intrusive thoughts, i keep fearing that i did something wrong and I want to take the bus to class

    EDIT: I forgot to mention: when the online thing happens I keep googling stuff like I accidentally might have seen something bad will i get into trouble or do isps monitor internet.. and then i ask myself "if the ISPs do see this they will only think what your doing is actually wrong" and the reassurance i try to get makes it worse for me.. I cant win can I? Am I gonna actually be in trouble for this

    Maybe this is completely useless advice, but you have mirrors (I hope). You should always KNOW where everyone (and everything) is around your vehicle at all times. Check as you drive pass. If there's no-one waving their hands or screaming, then you haven't hit them. It's good to check, that's just safe driving. But you should be able to know whether you've hit someone before driving on. Although, perhaps I've completely miss understood the problem.

    Mate, ISPs can't see what you're doing - notice that pornhub and google are both "https". The "s" in https means "secure" - the content is encrypted (that means the ISPs can see you visited pornhub and google, but have not idea what you saw or what you searched for). Also, it's up to pornhub to filter content like that, not the visitor. Otherwise Google would be in sooo much trouble for all the illegal software websites its indexed.

    EDIT: I just realised that this sounds like I'm encouraging you too look at that stuff; I'm not. I'm just saying that the government isn't going to hunt you down for it. Yeah, don't look at that stuff.

    I feel you man. I've had some dreams and thoughts before and, yeah, they are seriously screwed up. But I remember that they are only thoughts (as evil as they are) and have no effect on anyone but yourself. I'm a Christian myself, so I'm just glad that Jesus has paid for all my (and your) sins, regardless of how messed up or persistent they may be (evil thoughts are sinful). If you have come to Jesus, your sins have been forgiven, and the guilt you have is from Satin - beware of it. That said, its not thoughts you want to entertain. Keep up with nofap, and such thoughts should fade (they did for me). Tear yourself away from the thoughts when they do occur - I know it can be hard, but it is possible.

    Basically, all these problems seem to just be another habit that needs to be broken/replaced - don't let them get you down. You will overcome them eventually if you keep trying.

    I can definitely relate some of the things you said. I had OCD too but I didn't care what it cost me I wanted to be that way and I had been that way untill the point I couldn't afford it anymore. If I had the chance to practice my rituals again I definitely would but everyone's experience is different. What works for me might not work for you. I don't want to encourage you in OC behavior. It can really ruin your life. Mine was just very subtle but I had times when it got worse when I spent 6 hours in the shower. I think forbidden thoughts are the worst aspect of OCD. Having forbidden thoughts really made me miserable. Other than that being hygiene conscious and having principles rules rituals whatever you name it is something that requires effort and discipline. I think it is a good thing up to a point. Most people are like dogs they do anything. I would much rather have OCD than being a dumbass who thinks and decides with his genitals rather than his brain. So good luck with your OCD and controlling your reptile brain.

    I found a book called "Brain Lock" really helpful for countering OCD. It's a really good book to help you understand why you have OCD and basically teaches you a form of CBT where you relabel your intrusive thoughts as OCD thoughts. In doing that, it can help you break the cycle between intrusive thoughts and ritual behaviour. It really helped me.

    This is an introduction: https://ocduk.org/four-steps

    One warning is that it's really, really not easy. You have to relabel hundreds of times at first and you have to be pretty assertive with it. For a long time I felt that I would never overcome it but I persevered and over time found myself relabelling less and less.
