He didn’t perform anything sexual. It’s just today really reminded me of that night. I wasn’t wearing pants again because he has just finished having sex. We were cuddling and he just began caressing my thigh. I was half awake when this happened. But it brought me back to that place. I was trying to fully awake so I wouldn’t go back to that place or feeling but I did. I’m scared because I thought I had moved on from this. Like he didn’t take it any further we were both sleepy cuddling and nothing else

Once I became fully awake the anxiety and what it hit. Like what if he did something to me and I was just too tired to know. What if I go back to square one again after I just gotten over it. What if I’ll never be able to sleep around him

@Anonymous:,( I’m not sure if it’s something I should bring up to him. Only because he didn’t do anything wrong like he didn’t do anything sexual to me. But I’m afraid of hurting him and making him upset cause it’s like we already talked about stuff like that and there’s no need to bring up again. I also feel like if I don’t say anything than I’ll most definitely lose my mind again like the first time. Like if I don’t tell anyone I feel like it’ll eat my alive and I’ll go back to my old ways.

@Anonymous:,( I feel like I have a control problem when it comes to intimacy. Like I always need to be the one in charge in a way. Like I’m the one needing to initiate and to be more dominant. I allow him to be dominant sometimes but when the times he initiates first it doesn’t feel too right in a sense.

@Anonymous:,( Well he shouldn’t of intitated anything when you were almost asleep. That would scare anyone. I don’t know how far he went and it’s fine if you don’t want to specify but it can be traumatizing if it was on any level. It is good he stopped when you asked, it’s good you’ve been able to talk to him. But it is also understandable why you wouldn’t feel safe around him. You were put in a vulnerable place. If you can work it out with him and feel it’s worth doing so then continue to, but it’s also 100% understandable why you wouldn’t want to. You aren’t overreacting or anything like that. It was a breach of trust.

@PRYM Yeah last night he didn’t go far. He was just massaging my thigh. But it took me to that first time. I’m just upset because I thought it was something I was over with. I keep getting a lot of thoughts and my mind keeps repeating stuff. I just want to let it all go and be okay. I just want to love and be with my boyfriend. I want to have sex and be okay. My mind is just traumatized and I just want to let it go and be normal again. Thank you for reading and responding !!

@Anonymous:,( Give yourself some time. It’ll take time to heal from it. Just keep being vocal with your boyfriend about what you need from him and what you feel comfortable with. Let him know you need to ease back into things. It sounds like he wants to do right by you so he should respect that.

So recently I have been talking to this guy and I really like him and for the past week I felt really good and happy about it, but then a sneaky intrusive thought popped up about what if in the future when and if the time comes to sleep in the same bed, I inappropriately touch him while he’s sleeping. Now I’ve struggled with sexual intrusive thoughts like that before so my brain just kept reminding me of how that thought felt the last time it came up, and the thoughts of sexually harming this person started snowballing and making me feel worse and worse. I spent most of the day crying and panicking wishing my brain could just shut down, and now all I want to do is hide from this person so I don’t get the chance to hurt him, which makes me feel even worse because I had been feeling so good about him just the other day. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this and if they might have any insight

Hate those times where you can decipher if it’s false memories or real. My theme is Pocd and I Cosleep with my son and ocd really loves to mess with that. My brain is spinning and trying to spiral into me thinking I touch my little one inappropriately in my sleep. This little image that keeps replaying is me turned towards him but my hand was on his thigh and I do believe he was in his side. And I remember I grabbed the blanket but for some reason I feel as if I grabbed or felt the blanket where it was folded. (Not sure if I was trying to fully cover him back because the pass couple nights he was tangled up in the blanket) I don’t remember what happed after that because I went back to sleep. But that little part I want to be certain I was messing with the blanket and not inappropriately touching my son. I mean can you touch someone inappropriately while sleeping? I’m sure a “real” pedo would plan something like this right? Like they would go to sleep with that intention. (Which I didn’t) Someone please help

This is really hard for me to post and put out here, I'm not diagnosed with OCD, I just recently started talk therapy. But when I was a child my mom speculated because I had OCD. Because I would have compulsions from intrusive thoughts that always stemmed around SA. Everything for me gets stuck in a record player and a spiral and I can't stop. This is a really concerning and disturbing one, so I thought I would warn again if the topic seems too much for many people. I just recently learned about false memeory OCD and its the only explanation I can come up with right now. I've never shared an intrusive thought out loud but this one is too much. I have been in a really intense spiral lately, where I keep having these extremely vivid memeories of me sexually assaulting people not in my body like I'm sleep walking. It's extremely disturbing and I've convinced myself I have this sort of alter identity or a sleep disorder that is violent. Ive looked up a bunch of disorders like that. I asked a few people if I sleep walk but they don't remember me ever doing something like that, but what if they somehow surpressed a memeory too? I want to bring this up to my therapist, but I have been afraid to because it is so much and a spiral that has lasted for the course of months now and I have ruined my mental health and relationships because of it. I am extremely paranoid that everyone is lying to me or plotting to hurt me. But not because I think they are bad, but because I believe I deserve it. It got to the point where I now have memories of people trying to tell me I am creepy and that I had done things to SA them, along with memories of people talking while I'm not in the room about it. And I genuinely can't tell if it's real or not because I swear they are actual events that I just never put too much thought into in the past or completely dissociated from. (My main response to anything too much or difficult is to dissociate.) It's actually concerning me and the people around me because if it's true then I don't think I should be around society. I don't eat right, I'm too afraid to sleep without my door locked, I am unemployed with no sense of direction out of highschool because of it. It all stemmed from a surpressed memeory , witch who knows is real now, where my ex calls me and tells me I assaulted him, and that he was going to get me back, and that he had spread explicit photos of me. Now I genuinely feel like there is evidence to back up this because he brings up all my coworkers I had at the time, and I have memories of them making strange comments to me. If I somehow assaulted this guy without having an ounce of social awareness of what I was doing was assault then I feel like I absolutely deserve every ounce of mental spiral that is consuming me and worse. And I don't know how to stop this. And I'm afraid if I tell my therapist she might put me in a hospital and my family just doesn't have the money for that, and neither do I as an individual. The guilt would consume me. But I'm pretty sure I have no choice at this point. Because anouther "memory" resurfaced where I took a nightmare I had a long time ago and somehow turned it into me being Sexually assaulted by my father this time, and now I can't look at him or my family without absolute disgust. And I have "memories" of my family trying to talk to me about it but I completely forgot the event and processed it like a dream. I can't tell if something really creepy is actually happening or not but I'm starting to think it is because the way my brother acts around my family is weird but it could be my paranoia and the fact I have been freaking out everyone around me with my mental health. Either way I need to tell a professional because if I DID hurt my ex seriously, I need to take every ounce of accountability. But I don't wanna confess to a memory I don't even fully understand myself. I thought about contacting him several times and asking him if I have ever caused pain, but he blocked me and I feel like that crosses boundaries he has clearly set. Also I don't want to put this mental crisis on any other people, because my family is already freaked out enough. After writing this all out I'm starting to believe I really should force myself to tell my therapist no matter the consequences, I just feel like I need to admit this to a someone to get over my fear of saying it all out loud. Because everyday and every night I keep being plagued by these unwanted flashes of either me being hurt or me hurting other people In really disturbing and terrible ways. and it feels completely real with like context I've made to back it up. Am I unconsciously creepy? I'm just afraid I've become my worse fear and I was it without knowing my whole life.
