You don’t tell, you have to make peace with not knowing with 100% certainty...because NOTHING in life is 100% certain...just chalk it up to the “human experience” ya know? Like intrusive thoughts are just that, they’re random and weird and crazy, I still struggle with Pure O, but realizing this helped me a lot. Your brain is a random danger-sensing machine, Incest is a danger it senses so it’s trying to freak you out by imagining this danger and keeping you as far away from it as possible, but it’s going a bit far so just let the thoughts happen and don’t follow them, acknowledge that some deep part of you is just a scared uncivilized animal but a much MUCH shallower part is sure that it’s bullshit, try some meditation

And remember MOST IMPORTANTLY accept that there’s some deep weird animal part of you that’s capable of gross weird shit...but literally everyone has that same part, they just don’t obsess about it as much, and while I’d say they’re more “healthy” than we currently are...it doesn’t make them better, the fact that we let these things bother us show how much empathy we have, like were probably much less likely to commit atrocities than an average person because of how vigilant we watch ourselves.... But that being said, it’s time to let cooler heads prevail, and trust ourselves more

hey guys, i’m almost fully healed in my socd journey but what’s stopping me is the false atractions. i get them almost 24/7 at this point and to every thing. they feel real and i hate them they make me feel disgusted. they also make me feel like hot and gross but then i see people saying thats what attractions feel like, but i have felt so much attraction to the opposite gender pre all of this and it felt nice and enjoyable not digustinf. i’m also getting false memory trying to show me ‘signal’ from my childhood to prove i’m gay amd i truly don’t know if they’re real. it’s so degrading and at this point i feel like govining up. pelesse if you have any advice or even if your going through the same thing just let me know. ocd is so terrible

Hi everyone, I’m a 30-year-old woman, and I’ve been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 5 years. I’ve always felt emotionally close to him — he’s caring, supportive, and we planned a future together, including having a family. I don’t want to leave him. He means so much to me. But for a while now, I’ve been obsessing over the fact that I don’t feel much sexual attraction to him anymore. It’s not like I never felt anything — when we first met, there were butterflies, excitement, emotional connection… something real. He was never “just a friend” to me. But the physical side of the relationship feels like it’s slowly faded, and I’m panicking about what that means. I keep thinking things like: – “Maybe I chose the wrong person.” – “You can’t be in love without sexual desire.” – “If I was truly in love, I would still want him.” – “What if I’ve been lying to myself this whole time?” Sometimes my body reacts — I can feel physical closeness or even arousal — but my mind shuts down and says: “no, this isn’t right.” Other times, I feel tension, resistance, or even disgust during intimacy, and I can’t tell if that’s anxiety or if something is fundamentally wrong. What makes this even more confusing is that I truly believe that real love includes sexual attraction. For me, it’s all part of one feeling — not separate. So if the attraction is gone, does that mean the love is too? Is it possible that this is still OCD — that my mind is obsessing and disconnecting me from my real feelings? Has anyone experienced something similar? Any support would mean so much. I feel so stuck between my mind and my heart.
