This is kind of hard to talk about online but I have really been struggling in my sex life because I keep on getting intrusive thoughts and/or images in my mind. It just keeps getting worse and I just want it to stop. Can anyone relate?

Oh my goodness of course!!! You are not alone ❤️

I just don’t know what else I can do. I’m going to therapy twice a week but I almost feel like it’s not enough. Did it ever get better for you?

@Anonymous There is no cure or OCD sadly… just like with everything else, you are going to have bad days, some good days and some okay days… when you do anything sexual, absolutely anything can pop in your head. On days where it’s really bad I just will not do anything sexual and that’s okay because it’s your choice. But know that WHATEVER thought you get, is completely normal. I think a big part of OCD is guilt and feeling like you want the thoughts which give you a lot of self doubt and just depression. With anything, OCD takes time. I’m glad you’re going to therapy because they will give you tips and tricks on how you can overcome it all, and I know you can❤️

@Animallover065 Thank you. The guilt is definitly really challenging.

@Anonymous I totally understand that. The biggest part of my OCD in my entire life has to do with guilt. But In reality there is nothing to feel guilty about. You are not alone!

@Animallover065 thank you <3 here for you if you need anything!

Yep! Me too.

Me too!

Anyone have anything that helped them get through these struggles?

OCD will try to trick you in any situation. Continue with your sex life even with your intrusive thoughts. Just let them pass! Keep going with what you’re doing and don’t give answer to them.
