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.

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.

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 💖

I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh

I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅

I find that the intrusive thoughts that hurt me the most are the quiet ones. The ones that, at a glance, can be hard to differentiate from your own thoughts. The louder thoughts are easy to diffuse, to say "maybe, maybe not" to but the quiet ones leave me ruminating for hours trying to figure out if they're mine or OCD's. They leave me feeling disconnected from those around me and even from myself. I can go from happily thinking about marrying my boyfriend in the future to feeling like I have never actually loved him in a matter of minutes all because a thought was a whisper rather than a scream. This is my first post and I'm not sure what I'm looking for in making it. Advice? To know I'm not alone? I guess if there's anything you feel the need to share I'd love to hear it.
