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.

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. :(

@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.

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.

yes i’m seeing a therapist. not sure how i can tell her because she’s not great with ocd stuff but will try to this week. now i’m a little worried you’re asking me to have professional help because you think this is real!! can’t win haha
