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 . ❤️

18+ TW! Involves sexual content I have learning disabilities which means im always going to be 3-5 years mentally behind from my actual age… when I was 14 I remember finding people saying they work with kids “attractive” and I remember mastu*** over a kid around 5+ but when I was 14 I was either mentally age 11 or 9. So I didn’t know it was wrong, and as soon as I realised I stopped. People say I was young and it’s okay but I remember finding people saying they even walked past a nursery “attractive” but I don’t know if this is even the right word. Maybe cute? Because I find different emotions hard to tell the difference between, so maybe it’s cute rather than attractive. I never ever had intentions to do anything to younger individuals, it was just me finding people saying they worked with them etc attractive… which my ocd now plays on, because my friend mentioned they were working with kids but idk if it was the real me or not but I genuinely felt like I found it attractive and it was giving my so many groinal responses which then made me feel genuinely aroused like I wanted to do things. This plays on my mind because my ocd will always say “but you did/do find stuff like this attractive” but this literally stops me from eating, sleeping or anything. I can’t break from my compultions because what if I do genuinely find it attractive. I don’t think it’s even attractive maybe it’s cute? Like I find it cute… but cuteness can give people feelings down there I guess. I think because if my learning disabilities I found it hard to know the difference between “attraction” and cute so I did stuff over it because it gave me that feeling down there but that could of been cuteness feeling. I just need some support on this.

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
