Your right ocd ‘feels’ horrible,but the feelings are not facts they are just a symptom of the thoughts,you are a good person and you can recover 🤗🤗🤗
Ocd is mainly a feeling problem, despite it being falsely understood as thought problem by some. You are rationally aware of how wrong the thoughts are yet you're emotionally affected by them anyway. That's why we need erp, to desensitize our reaction to these thoughts.
yes you're very right
I’m so sorry my friend. This is one of the hardest parts of pocd. The way you feel right now is not the way a real pedophiles feels. A real predator would have been ecstactic to know that they would have a child coming into their life to prey on and they would seek out as many chances to have access to the child as possible. You probably don’t even want to be in the same continent as a child sometimes because the thoughts are so disgusting to you. We need adults like you who are aware of these things and are actively aware of how they are affecting the children around them. Your body responds to you focusing on certain body parts, fear, excitement, violence, etc., in ways that feel like arousal but are different mechanisms entirely.
yeah, you're right. i was actually thinking how better off he'll be when i move. thanks so much 🥺❤️
I got my first ocd in September it was false memory ocd of me doing something terrible to my sister which then gave me intrusive thoughts every time I saw her. Like disgusting images and thoughts like what if BLA BLA happens(sexual things) and then randomly they turned into like urges/feelings. Every time I’d walk past her instead of what if I was getting thoughts like you should. And things that would be like if you went up and did that thing to her maybe you’d stop getting these thoughts. Worst time of my life but I know that it was just my ocd and I’m glad I didn’t let my ocd win I pushed through and you can too stay strong you are not your thoughts 💖
thank you ❤️❤️ you're so strong
@stardustnchaos Thank you :) hope you have a good day/night xx
@Captain marvel you too :)
agreed shit be painful, but ultimately knowing that any INTRUSIVE THOUGHT NEVER BECOMES TRUE you will be fine:)
I'm so scared right now, I don't think my intrusive thoughts are intrusive anymore. I feel completely numb and disconnected from everything and everyone. I feel like I'm insane. I don't feel reassured by anything which makes me think I want the thoughts. for example I have harm ocd thoughts about my daughter and always have since she was born, she is now 9. I've suffered terribly with mental health since she was born. and an intrusive thought I have just had is "if I killed her i wouldn't be anxious anymore" can thoughts become this distressing? this can't be normal, please someone help.
trying to sit with the intrusive thoughts and fear, it’s so hard. i don’t want this. i just want to go back to my normal self who only focused on what i wanted to and not this shell of who i use to be dying to just live again. pocd is the worst theme, it’s taken over my life. every move i make i am just overthinking everything. my brain tells me lies and sometimes i am so afraid i question if i am just “in denial” it’s so terrifying. i feel so so so much guilt, i would and could never hurt a child, it hurts me to even think about it. it makes me feel evil that i have intrusive thoughts. my brain tells me i am “attracted” to kids even though i know i am not, it’s hell. i’ve been having a huge flare up, maybe bc i am on my period, but it’s super difficult lately. i visited my nephew this weekend and i had so much fun, but of course my pocd ruined it and put intrusive thoughts in my head and said i was “attracted” AND I AM NOT, i was disgusting like ACTUALLY HORRIFIED. i wanted to go home so badly and when i got home i just felt so much guilt. pocd has ruined me. i want to be a mom, i want to be an amazing aunt. why is this disorder attacking me so much. :(
hello! I am struggling right now because my intrusive thoughts haven’t been bad in almost a year, then out of nowhere things are getting awful. I’ve had them my whole life but it feels like my brain is attacking me with the most disgusting and weird things I could possibly think of. I’m not worried I will act on them but I’m more just freaked out that my mind is capable of coming up with these things and it makes me question who I am as a person. I’ve been to the ER twice this week with suicidal thoughts, I can’t do SSRI treatment because I have sensitive serotonin receptors and they always really mess me up. I feel like a freak right now and I just don’t know how to cope.
