yah OCD can manifest itself it some pretty disturbing ways...unwanted thoughts and images... not actually seeing images but like images in your head type of stuff. I don't really have that now.. i mean on occasion but it doesn't bother me as much because I know its the OCD. Essentially OCD can manifest into sexual and relationship ways...use your imagination. it sucked haha. But that's why we're all here...mental health problems that were all trying to treat. its funny because everyone on here is nice, helpful, and seem "normal." It's a funny thing ain't it? We're over here wishing, hoping, begging that some drug will take away the pain of our mental state of being but yet we are still able to express ourselves in a normal way. I guess thats just food for thought. That "we" are not our minds. If you ever want to pick up a book that I found very interesting pick up The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. His whole philosophy is that our minds is not our true selves... our minds are a simple false sense of self, or ego, as he puts it. And the more we (being as he calls it) identify with our ego or mind, the more we are feeding the ego. If you'd like to know more about this I'd be happy to help and chat because it helps me as well just writing this.
cheers
