ZOCD and Groinal response So my main theme is zocd lately and it’s unbearable and I love my pets but I feel scared just being around them because of my theme. I’ve been trying to fight it by taking them on walks and ignoring the thought but today I was hanging out with my boyfriend and I was hugging my dog but as I was hugging her I got a groinal response?? Like I was hugging her close because I’m just very affectionate but my OCD is making me feel like I did it because of another motive?? I’m so freaked out and I can’t stop thinking about it, please give me advice

Hi, I’m sorry you’re struggling. All you can really do is lean into the anxiety. Don’t ignore the thoughts, instead accept that they’re there and let them be. This will make you anxious but that’s the point. You wanna desensitize yourself. Sometimes it will be too much and that’s ok. Take a break and try again
