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.

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!

Hello. I joined this app because I realised my experiences might be due to OCD. I often have these really disgusting and terrible pictures of me becoming someone horrible, doing horrible things to others. These ideas really disturb me, and often in my mind, and physically sometimes, I literally scream quitely to myself, "Shut up!" Over and over until the image goes away, but unless I distract myself with something else immediately after, it comes back and gets worse. I also end up looking back on these thoughts, and being terrified that maybe I am thinking of this because it is what I truly want, so I end up desperately trying to filter my thoughts, and this ends up carrying into something like SO-OCD, even though I am confident that I am a straight male, and there is no evidence that I am not, I keep trying to prove to myself that I am straight to make the thought go away. I also get the fear that after I maybe do something and say something I know I maybe shouldn't have to someone, that when they leave, or I can't find them for a bit, they have gone to commit suicide. Likewise, I also get intrusive thoughts of me killing myself, even though I have no desire to, and this scares me a lot as well. I used to occasionally get these thoughts in chunks like maybe for 2 weeks and then I wouldn't for another few weeks, but they have gotten worse and more frequent this past semester. They are still not bad enough to actively effect my daily life and routine, but they definitely come frequently enough to distract me, disrupt what I'm doing and make me take a break, and it has dramatically effected my mood and mental state lately. Do you guys recommend any ways to deal with this, is this really severe enough to even call OCD? Would love to hear, thanks! ❤️
