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.

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 !!

Hi everyone I could really use some help on this topic. It’s hard to admit and talk about but after being on here I see that I’m not the only one! Still I would love some support and advice with how to deal with those unwanted sexual thoughts. For me it’s so uncomfortable and honestly gross when sexual thoughts get out of hand with normal people and also do extremely out of hand that even loved ones get involved. Like when I watch tv and all of a sudden I have these gross thoughts that I know if I accept they will go away but how can you accept something so gross? Would love some help!
