'Deep down you know
Sometimes I don't even know what I'm deep down, and this sentence makes me anxious. Anyone else?

Yes I don't know and it feels like I just don't know how to express these thoughts and feelings I'm truly lost 😔
I feel you, this sentence really scares me too. But I think sentences like this are really not applicable or relevant when someone has OCD... I know it feels uncomfortable and I always try to figure out, whether the thoughts I have are true or false. I guess the best way to deal with it is to accept that it may be true, or it may not. And obsessing over it won't help find the answer anyway, it will just make things more stressful
@goldenfangirl I’m wondering if you could help me. I feel this post kinda relates to my most recent post. Would you be able to have a look?
I feel you... It's so hard... And it likes no one understands..
I feel this. I was never attracted to men as a teenager and I just started having random false attractions pop up one day and I just started worrying about it.
Mine started when I was 23......now its like I want it. I find women disgusting I hate myself most of the time I don't recognise myself and feel absent from what's going on around me im nearly 40 by the way
@Ihateocd83 I'm 27 right now and I have a porn addiction. I'm doing nofap to stop watching porn. I want my attraction to come back
@Ihateocd83 Same man im 23 and it started from a porn image while high
@Sp1999 You wouldn't believe the stuff I say in my head....
@Ihateocd83 Trust me I probably would all types of shi goes through my head and my mind agrees with everything that has to do with a guy and I dont
@polishgirl To be honest I do not know. I've got counselling. I'm a waiting list. I've had therapy but I'm still suffering
@polishgirl I did have a girlfriend
@polishgirl I know exactly what you mean
@polishgirl Yeah sure
@polishgirl Sorry I don't know what that is ??
I get this
There’s something that happens that keeps me stuck in a thought, it’s when I can see some part of myself agreeing with or relating to it in some way. That’s when the doubt creeps in. If I can understand *why* the thought is there, doesn’t that mean it’s not just random? Doesn’t that mean it actually reflects something about me? For example **(TMI/TW)**: I had the thought, *“I wonder what other people’s kinks are (including friends, family, even teenagers).”* And then I caught myself thinking, *“Well, I guess that could be interesting information… maybe I wouldn’t even stop someone from sharing it with me. Does that mean I actually want to know? Wait—does that make me perverted or incestuous for even having this curiosity?”* The same thing has happened with other thoughts, like wondering what someone’s privates might look like. I recognize that, on some level, that could be interesting—but does that mean the thought is truly mine? Maybe the answer is super obvious and I just can’t see through my OCD smoke. This was a bit embarrassing for me to write 🥲, but can anyone provide some insight?
Today I've let myself go down a huge rabbit hole regarding this phrase and it's stressing me out. Sometimes, yes, it is that deep. But other times, it really isn't. I keep finding myself torn between these two ideals. I've been seeing all these videos regarding the rise of anti-intellectualism and the anti-woke mob, all that. These videos make me extremely worried about cancel culture and moral guilt, and they had me rethinking every morally wrong, gross, questionable thing or thought I ever had. I saw many comments saying that yes everything is that deep and it feels like my mind is on constant security and asking myself "what would the internet think about the things I've thought of or may have done?" On one hand, I feel like if I say "it's not that deep", I feel like a hypocrite or a bad person or an idiot. But on the other hand if I say "it is that deep", my OCD begins to spiral and analyze everything about myself. It's not healthy to overanalyze everything but it's also not healthy to ignore bad things. It's very stressful Does anyone relate to this?
I have really bed harming intrusive thoughts and sometimes feels like it’s feeling! The thoughts happening every day and the hardest part is that I’m testing my self in head all the time if that’s what I am or want!!! Also, so many times feels like I’m been tricking myself and doctor or people and maybe I don’t have OCD, just that maybe it’s me really!!!! How can I know who I am really 🥹???!!??
