Totally 100% me too! I think them, then I get scared I'm thinking them, then I spiral. Grrrr
This is my main obsession. Also, I am a therapist specialized in ERP. Tell. Your. Therapist. They will not judge you. If they do- they are an awful therapist and shouldn’t be in this field. And not to give you reassurance, but this is a fact- I have seen many clients with OCD and the thought about a real event is never as bad as they think it is. Also, right and wrong are just opinions and guilt is just a feeling. Feeling guilt does not mean you SHOULD feel guilty. You need to stop doing compulsions around it such as checking replaying etc
Thank you. I know he won't judge me, but i feel very ashamed to tell him that thing. And i feel like after i will tell him that and i will feel better, i will get other thoughts, more and more shameful
@Anonym1l It’s very possible you will get another thought because you have OCD. But it’s not about the thoughts. It’s about how we shame ourselves. Talking to him about this will help you address all of these thoughts.
I remember the first time I told a therapist about my obsession and I was so scared he would think I’m horrible and I told him and he was like uh why is that such a big deal
I am feeling like that today, its awful
