Some people cling to the feelings of disgust because at least it “proves” to them that they don’t want or like their intrusive thoughts. But disgust isn’t necessary and it isn’t even really proof. It’s okay if the thoughts that have repeated in your head again and again and again start to lose their edge. It’s like watching a suspenseful movie over and over, eventually you remember all of the scary parts and it no longer makes you afraid anymore. But it’s still a suspense movie. And these are still intrusive thoughts. Are you seeing an ocd specialist?

I was yes but no success. I don't think this is ocd anymore. I've obsessed about this so much. I don't feel like there is any hope for me some days I feel better but never good. I just feel separated from life and. I just feel like saying ok I'm gay to get this over with but I just can't and I don't think I ever could. I never had nothing through school. This popped up when I was 22 I'm 39 now last couple of years the feelings are just to much. Thoughts like I want to be with a man etc. Makes me sad 😔

I think you should try working with an ocd specialist again. If the last one didn’t work out, try another. Sometimes we just need someone we can connect with.

@pureolife Is this normal behaviour for ocd ?

@Ihateocd83 I believe many of the ocd specialists on this app take insurance. And I know it can be expensive and feels unfair that other people don’t have to plan for things like this, but this is worth saving for and prioritizing in your life. Many things are expensive and we find ways to sacrifice and budget and get them. There are also options like group therapy which is generally cheaper. And if you can find a therapist who works on a sliding scale, they can offer you a lower rate and payment plan.

Intrusive feelings: someone insights?
I would love to have some insight in this in general I deal with thoughts but for me it is the feelings that make ocd this difficult The feeling of disgust for my partner, the feeling of wanting the content of the thoughts , the feeling that this is the real me , the feeling that i am lying to myself and my partner, the loss of attraction,... Because when i write it like that ,that that these are feelings, it seems very much that i am just in drnial and i am bi but i cant love men anymore, or that i am not attracted to my bf and so on

Intrusive thoughts (21+ please)
I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They weren’t nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, I’m suffering. I haven’t had a sexual experience in over a year that didn’t involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but it’s so bad. I know you’re supposed to ignore them but I don’t know how I can just ignore that and continue what I’m doing. But they’re coming on stronger. I had one earlier I could not get rid of just as things finished so the thought came on strongly just before my orgasm hit and now I feel absolutely disgusting. I hated the thought and I know it’s not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. I’m so fucking tired of these thoughts. They’re in my every day life too and it’s all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?

Help
I deal pretty heavily with this. The last couple days, I’ve had what I think are urges. Something pops into my head intrusively and then what stems from that is me WANTING to just indulge in it even though it’s gross. I get worried bc I used to struggle w thoughts about my dad for a long time until eventually I just purposely thought of him while self pleasuring and got off to it. While that’s something I did, it is NOT me. It all stemmed from my mental health declining a couple years back, I was never this way before. So I get worried that it almost happened or might happen with my pocd cuz I could never live with myself if it did.
