Hey, I’m so sorry about that commenter giving your animal friend to your family would only reinforce your ocd fears that you are a danger to them, I have also been very numb to my ocd thoughts of feeling like a danger to others because of my depression. That fear that you don’t care is terrifying, but it’s that your brain can’t handle being scared constantly, I really recommend talking to a psychologist, therapist, counciler or helpline worker about this, and also talking to friends and family and letting them know your ocd fears.

@Anonymous I’m really glad you are. I also have the same exact thoughts like “ it feels to real to be fake I must be the exception and in denial” but that’s exactly what ocd wants

You are not a danger to your dog. Your OCD is telling you that you are but the fact that this is bothering you means that you actually love your dog and don't want any harm to come to it. This is a very typical trait for people with HOCD. Just know that you are ok and your dog is ok.

(21+ ONLY: TRIGGER WARNING) I’ve been increasingly worried that I’m a zoophile (among other things) and that I’m attracted to my family dog. I love him and I take care of him—I take him out to poop and pee, I play with him, and I feed and water him. But I get nervous when I have to be around him for a long time—I get these thoughts and they just won’t stop. I’ll find myself looking at my dog’s privates and having these strange urges. I feel horrible—like I could’ve done something to him or touched him inappropriately and conveniently don’t remember. I don’t know what to do…
