See, you did something in the past, but you dislike yourself in the present. Ot doesn't make sense. If you think that was something wrong (for me it wasn't, but your opinion matters here), just don't do it again. You can dislike your behavior in past, acknowledge it, and like yourself in the present - because in the present you are not doing it anymore.

Personally, I don’t think it was a big of a deal. I can’t help thinking what my close ones around me would think.

Uncertainty hurts you. You don't know what close ones would think about it. Maybe they would think like you, that it wasn't a big of deal, maybe the would think otherwise. Why is their opinion so important to you?

I guess their opinion is important, especially my sisters because I care about my family. I think it’s just my brain making a big deal out of it even though looking back I was just horny and was pretending to have sex because of that. Just can’t stop thinking about specifics of what I said on there etc and I’m trying to move past but I’m finding it hard. Guess it’s one of my major insecurities

I think you want so much your family to react positevely on this (like "meh, not big deal"), but you don't know how they would react - that's what is causing rumination about all the details. If I am correct, try to embrace this anxiety about uncertainty. You don't know how would they react, don't fight it.

Thanks I’m just too much in my head. I find meditation helps. Just that when I think back I forgot that there were real people behind them.

Important thing is to correctly identify compulsions - like, mby trying to change meaning on something, or looking for some magical explanations. Don't try to justify yourself, it's compulsion, that makes you feel better for one moment, but makes you ruminate more. That's vicious circle and that's why meditation helps.

Thanks I’ll try to move past it no matter what my brain tries to tell me even though it’s hard. I just have to live in the now . ❤️

I feel nauseous. Extremely sick, i cannot eat, cant sleep well, and I haven't enjoyed things I normally enjoy to cry in bed and spiral for several days already. I feel extremely anxious over my past real events. I remembered something extremely triggering. I used to be morbidly curious about crimes and like I remember when i was a younger teen I watched a dark documentary that honestly i shouldnt have watched. There was this extremely weird scene and i think i felt weirded out but also a little aroused? but only bc I was thinking "lucky, shes already having sex. I wish I was her so i could experience it too." The poor person was like 1-3 years younger than me at the time. I KNOW how wrong that is now i legit feel like im going to throw up rn. Anyway I think I felt a little aroused??? And I think I touched myself a little bit and imagined myself in her place? I dont think I enjoyed it bc i remember it felt forced and weird and i stopped. I never did it again. I feel so sick! I would NEVER watch a documentary like that now as an adult and think or touch myself to it thats just so wrong but im scared that this is a sign im a sicko/p. I remmeber crying at the end of the documentary bc I felt disturbed by the contents but i still put some in my watch later out of morbid curiosity to see more real cases of these crimes bc they scared me. I never watched them again though. It only happened once and it was before my ocd started which SCARES me even more!!! And i wouldnt watch them as an adult either theyre too disturbing! I regret it so badly and feel like a monster bc it was messed up. Like what was wrong with me?! Theyre extremely disturbing to me and I rather avoid such content bc its triggering to my ocd but im afraid now like was that a sign of me possibly being a p? Am I a monster??? Am I in denial? Is this even ocd?! I feel so much shame and guilt it's killing me. 😔

I’m really struggling with real event ocd at the moment because I feel like no one else has done what I did so I’m the exception. I spoke about this already here but I’ve literally been crying every day I feel so hopeless at the moment I wish I could just go back to the years I spent doing this thing and stop myself because my life could have been so much different now. I hate myself so much because I cannot forgive myself. What I did isn’t morally bad it just does not align with my current identity so I really struggle with accepting myself because of my past mistakes. I wish so badly that I had a friend who went through the same thing because I feel so alone

I’m 19 I hadn’t had pocd or false memory ocd during this time when I watched porn btw so I trusted my memory back then. I switched back to those themes and now my ocd is telling me I watched immoral porn. I remember being grossed out by titles that had ‘teen’ in it, even wrote down in notes how I’d only watch porn between adults and get off to that. I looked back at my Reddit history/ porn history when I was watching it during that time and it says I clicked on the titles with teen twice, the first time I remember being disgusted and switching to a different subreddit, and the second time covering the screen, now my head is trying to tell me I purposely clicked on those. But I also remember being happy around that time that I don’t associate with gross porn, and that I scrolled past it. Should I confess? I’m so confused, I heard Reddit doesn’t allow that sort of stuff, plus I remember talking to people about how gross that stuff is. Plus I would’ve felt guilty if I actually watched it because I sometimes accidentally click on things with my crappy iPad. Plus I know I’m only attracted to adults because all my crushes are older men and old women, I genuinely can’t bring myself to find anyone under 18 attractive.
