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.

Hi everyone, I'm struggling with what I think are intrusive thoughts, possibly related to OCD, and I'm hoping someone here might relate. When I was younger, in my early teens, I went through a period where I had a strong interest in pornography. During that time, I encountered hentai involving male characters, related to an anime I enjoyed. One of the characters was someone I even looked up to. I feel incredibly uncomfortable admitting this, but I believe I engaged in sexual activity related to it. Years later, I'm plagued by intrusive thoughts about this. I feel intense self-disgust and shame. It's like this memory has "tainted" my ability to enjoy that anime, and sometimes other things. I'm constantly replaying the situation in my mind, questioning my past actions, and worrying about what it means about me. The anxiety is significantly impacting my life. Does anyone else experience intrusive thoughts focused on past events, particularly those that cause feelings of shame or disgust? How do you cope with the constant replaying and questioning? I'm looking for support and understanding. Thank you for listening.

When I say I feel like I like a thought, I don’t mean the OCD is telling me like a thought or that I concluded that from a physical sensation. I mean, I genuinely feel like something in my brain lights up and it feels like I like it mentally. Whenever I hear people talk about liking thoughts (excitement, arousal), I always see things about groinals or heart flutters. Physical things. I don’t think I really ever see people talk about the mental sensation if this is even a thing. I just wanna know if anyone relates to this or has found an explanation for this because seeing it from an analytical point of view seems to help me sometimes. This is so, *so* especially hard for pocd themed thoughts :( Anyone relate?

Was listening to the diarrhea song cuz I remember hearing it as a kid, this one guys version ended with “when she’s sitting on your face and you get a bad taste.” Anywho I had a whole thing bc of that involving different people but the main one that’s bothering me is I thought of my sister and her bf. They’re pretty edgy and I guess in general edgy people are freaky. Anywho I had the urge to imagine them while he gives her oral. And I tried to ignore it but it seemed too real and so I gave in and imagined it. And shocked, I think I liked it. Whether it’s because it’s sexual in nature so it was a general thing, or a taboo thing and that’s why I liked it BECAUSE it was gross and I shouldn’t think about it. But anyhow people say ocd can’t make you do things but I believe it still in a way made me purposely think that. Any words of advice appreciated !!
