incest ocd tw it really feels like i’m attracted to my uncle and it’s so distressing. i’ve never been super close with him but never thought anything much of him. then on christmas day we called him and i really liked his voice (it’s quite low) and since then i’ve been scared i’m attracted to his voice and, by proxy, him. i’m meant to be visiting him this summer but i’m terrified. it feels like it’s 10% real.

omg i feel you so much. I'm so sorry you're going through this. :(

do you have this fear too?

@garden yeah, towards my cousin. it sucks.

I hate that the only advice that I can give that works is to just sit with it. I wish there were more we can do about such an uncomfortable thought, feeling, or scenario. It's terrible. I'm sorry. :(

it’s okay and you’re right! i just crave reassurance so much. like i get stuck with fear until reassured. it’s bad :/

@garden Yeah it can get like that for me too, especially when the thoughts start to get magnified. I think my compulsion is simply talking about it to other people.

i mean to say 100% in my post *******

Do you see a therapist? Do you pray or do something that else you find peace like meditation? I would ask a professional how you can handle this situation.
