I tend to sexually fantasize and/or romantically as well when I am emotionally okay and at stable mentality so whenever I have these good days , ocd immediately gets in the way . For example - I would fantasize about my guy crush and feel erection ,but then images or thoughts race my Head and make me believe I am into whatever I was thinking during the ocd spike . I know I am not attractive to anyone other than guys .

I understand how you’re feeling . You’re obviously exhausted and feeling so flared up because ocd wants you to believe your thoughts or worst possible thing that does against your values , however - giving this cliche advice , you just have to sit wit the anxiety . I reflect back to all of my episodes I have had for years and makes me feel hopeful I can still go further into this ocd battle . It’s all just a cycle . And you are not your ocd . Sorry if this didn’t help; as someone once posted “ you’ve been through this before and you can get out again “ - this helped me find relief .

It sounds like your having an intrusive sexual thought & your compulsion is to flex your pelvic muscles. Can you try to sit with the uncomfortable sexual thought & NOT flex? Sounds like classic OCD to me. OCD always wants us to think it’s something else or ‘special’ or REALLY gross, but at the end of the day, it’s just your OCD!

Just wanna say I completely agree with all of this^^^ and, none of us are “sickos” including you, we just have very intense reactions to our intrusive thoughts (and everyone has intrusive thoughts. Everyone. They just bother us more than they bother people who don’t have OCD)

Oh also sometimes I try to resist but it seems like I can’t do it every time all day? Like it’s not sustainable And I feel garbage today

And does anyone have advice on how to handle this because regular ocd advice I feel like doesn’t fully address this
