"Pure O" isn't as sexy as it sounds.

Not to make light of this, but I'm not sure what you are terrified of. They unlock so many doors...
"This, along with nearly every other mental "disorder" is a bunch of weak minded babies crying over how life is so hard. Man the fuck up."
I have some sympathy for people like this, because this is what my family believes, and it is what I was taught. It's a poisonous, vicious little belief, because it not only keeps you from empathizing with people having difficulty, it also leads to self-doubt and hatred. Because any disorder you might have, you categorize as weakness, and the more you can't get rid of it yourself, the weaker you think you are. I still do this to myself, and I know better.
I guess maybe the OCD part of this comes from it being difficult to suppress these urges? I don't really get it. I'm not mocking at all, please believe me. I just know that I get urges like these all the time. Hell, Bill Burr even has a segment about it on one of his stand-ups. You see some random person and you suddenly wonder what it would be like to just haul off and punch them really hard in the trachea. Or you think about how easy it would be to just slam something heavy into the base of their cerebellum.
These urges fly up, and I just bat them down. They aren't hard to bat down, because killing someone for no reason isn't really worth any of the consequences. So does this disorder make it more difficult to fight those urges? Or is it like those people who have constant orgasms, where the annoyance is the frequency, not the intensity?

That's... not how you open a door...

Seriously. I read that and I felt like shit and in no way better. I have been walking down the street and as I am passing a defenceless person get the urge to push them for no reason. Get the urge to hurt people, to assault people I either know or I don't know. Obsessing over the fear of one day somehow growing male genitalia. That one particularly freaks me the fuck out on a daily fucking basis. At least I have a name for it I guess, despite the fact I cannot go back to my doctor (made myself look a fool, am changing doctors as a result).
:(

If you're not unlocking doors with your dick, then your not using your dick correctly.
