Symptom #7: Invasive Sexual Thoughts

Many people suffering from OCD may experience consistent, unwanted thoughts of sexual nature. These thoughts can be sporadic and generally follow a taboo nature - for example, you may suddenly have a thought about grabbing one of your friends and touching them inappropriately.

Oftentimes, these thoughts can be followed by guilt or shame. It doesn’t necessarily represent who you are, but it can be a good indication that your OCD is reaching a level that it’s impacting the quality of your life. If you are experiencing this, you may want to speak with a therapist.
