I have no motivation to even get up and play a video game because if feel so bad about it. It kept telling me things like she put of black leggings the other day and my mind kept telling me I thought her leggings looked “sexy” on her or her body type is “sexy” and I know for fact I know I would never think that. It’s ocd it has to be. I feel like I’m going crazy. Please if anyone reads this please help. I’m at a loss here I don’t know what to do. I just want to cry

Maybe crying COULD help? I think that since you know you’d never think of your niece like that it just solidifies the OCD? Like, you know you would never hurt her or any others. Your OCD is just trying to convince you of these things and you can’t control it. It’s not your fault. Remember to breathe and try to ground yourself. You have control over your body and actions. YOU are in control. Not your OCD.

I’ve been crying all day about it honestly. I just don’t understand why I keep having thoughts like that about my niece. It worries me. I feel guilt because the thoughts are so bad

Hi friend, I’m so sorry that your ocd is causing you so much pain. I want to remind you that thoughts literally don’t mean anything, and when we’re trying not to have intrusive thoughts about kids it will make us have more intrusive thoughts. For example, don’t think about a pink elephant. You probably just saw a pink elephant in your mind because you were trying not to think about it. Please know you’re not a bad person and that thought doesn’t mean anything.

I know a few of you saw my posts about my ERP and the googling urges. That didn’t end up going well. My therapist actually decided we needed to halt it for now. The thing is it’s almost like I learned googling is harmless from those few exercises and my brain keeps generating more things to google. Normally I would just spiral and be done but now I can barely hold back from searching for long. I eventually give in. I’m horrified because it feels like I want to find illegal content. I swear on everything I am, I don’t want to find anything even close to it. I’m freaking out because I don’t understand what’s happening. I keep compulsively searching/testing/checking or idk. I keep remembering details and I feel like I need to google again to be sure of something. I feel absolutely insane can someone please help me??? I’m petrified I’m going to get in trouble.

I’m currently struggling with guilt from checking OCD. By this I mean, I feel guilty and shameful by my OCD checking because I feel as that was immoral and wrong and I really don’t know what to do. How can I fight this?

I am 15 years old and my POCD feels like its not POCD, i feel like i like my intrusive thoughts, but i have more intrusive thoughts about having intrusive thoughts, and i feel like i cant enjoy the things i normally enjoy anymore, like calling with my girlfriend and joking with her because this is still in the back of my mind, its making me question morals and if i ever even viewed P as completely wrong and i hate this so much, i love my nieces and nephews and when they're over i know id never do anything with my intrusive thoughts but when they arent present i feel like i like my thoughts. Before this i was dealing with HOCD and ROCD and i wish i could go back to that
