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 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.

i’ve been dealing with this “thing” since i was 15. (i’m 23 now) if i have a bad memory that i have done when i was really young or just an intrusive thought i feel like i need to tell my mom or boyfriend. it’s been on and off ever since but since January hit it’s been an everyday thing about the littlest things. mostly about my relationship. an example is i was talking to someone random at my job and we were talking about taxes and when im in deep thought or just thinking i do a thing where i bite my lip (not in the sexual way) and i had a thought when it happened “was that sexual?” and i felt like i did something wrong and i went for a while thinking that until i told my boyfriend about it. or like my ex’s face has popped up in my head in the most inappropriate times and i feel the need that i have to tell him. (my ex was not a good person) i feel like im a prisoner in my head everyday, trying to justify thoughts or remind myself that its just a thought. i didnt know that this was or could be a form of ocd. it runs in my family but i’ve just never considered it being this. i always called it anxiety or depression but i always felt like it is more than that.
