I know it could feel like your life is ruined, but no it’s not, you’ll get over this my friend. It’s unbelievable in moment how it would be possible but it is. First of all, you haven’t slept, so your anxiety feels worse then and you don’t think clear. Are you talking to some therapist? Otherwise call some hotline, it really helps. And don’t feel ashamed! You’re not that horrible person you think you are ?⭐️

You are not a bad person, and youre never going to act on these thoughts. Sounds like you should try some ERP

I totally understand. I woke up this morning feeling anxious cause I had one to a dream. It’s so scary. You have to just really focus on understanding that this is the nature of the beast. It’s as common a symptom of OCD as any, I know how painful it is because it feels like it’s attacking the most joyous and personal part of yourself, your sexuality. I feel hijacked, or like this thing has been inside me this whole time. Also, people who don’t have OCD can experience this too. That’s also crucial to remember. Because the brain/body responds to ANYTHING sexual. Even the worst stuff

False arousal and uncertainty
Just gonna vent, this never happened to me before during my 20 years alive. Whether it is POCD or not, I have truly lost my sense of self and my innocence. Why of all things did this have to happen. Ive been experiencing more strong groinal responses and mixed feelings of arousal regarding specific thoughts. Its so odd, cause last month none of this happened, it was mainly just anxiety and mental breakdowns. Never did I think I would experience physical sensations as well. Acting on compulsions as well left me feeling absolute confusion, Ive stopped doing that but now I get the urge here and there, and Ive learned to sit with the discomfort. All this leaves me with more questions on whether I will truly get through this or not, or if people will understand my situation. On certain days I feel fine, on other days its sheer terror. I blame myself mainly for this all, It is scary as these images, causing both arousal and terror, only result in me feeling like a shell of my former self

crying
Im only 20 and Ive been crying. I am not diagnosed with OCD yet but it lines up. I'm so scared its not, these physical sensations and urges are so horrible and I just wanna hide myself from this earth. It feels so real. I'd rather not feel any arousal than experience it, no matter if its something I like or not. I want to be free from this hell.

Help please
I was trying to sleep in an aunt house and I’m suffering from nightmares or when I take naps or sleep I dream horrible things, and I took a little nap and I was about to start having a nightmare and I woke up. There’s a person that lives here and he’s not even here but I was about to have a dream with him it’s so scary he’s not even my family member or anything. And like it’s a delicate topic. But it’s the feeling that I can’t even sleep sometimes without dreaming this things that are so scary . And the groinal responses are about to kill me ! This is truly destroying my life I don’t know what to do I don’t want to be like this but I’m too tired to stay awake and too tired to sleep
