I am not going to answer that question. Not because I do or do not accept you, but because that’s a form of reassurance seeking. That reassurance feeds OCD and intrusive thoughts. And I wouldn’t want to do that to you. I’m sorry you’re feeling so shitty! Everyone on here can relate to feeling numb and scared and alone. Do you have access to therapy? If not, how about buying a book? I think you could benefit from “Self-compassion: the proven power of being kind to yourself” by Kristin Neff. Cause boy oh boy do you deserve a little self compassion right now!

Hey there peterifa ?? Do you have access to a therapist? Can you find one soon? A one on one session with an ocd and trauma specialist could really help you. I’m sorry you’re in so much pain. It sounds like you come from an abusive and traumatic background. And I think you deserve a little slack. Can you give yourself some? What you’re going through isn’t easy.

Hey, you're a good man you don't deserve this and you can overcome it but not this way. Could you just read again what you wrote and think again? I think you will see that you're pressing yourself, which makes obvious to anyone that you are suffering but you are not a bad person. You are complaining man! That means you don't deserve to feel this way so nothing bad about you just think of it as bad thoughts that you need to be cured of. And I really suggest you should see a thyrabist. I agree with pure o life, you grew up in a bad environment and that's bad but you should try to get better, not to punish yourself. I hope you get better. ❤️

And about feeling numb or feeling nothing about your friend, freud said that if you dreamed of one you care about died and you didn't feel anything and then you hate yourself for not being sad, that you realy care about that person and you will be sad if he died. I think that is similar with you but in real life not in dreaming so don't feel sad about it you just don't see the real problem maybe you were depressed or something then, Idk but I feel something is wrong in here and you didn't solve it. ? Try again bro, you can overcome that?

Hello everyone, forgive my bad English since it is not my native language, I have been suffering from OCD for 6 years now. It started with being afraid of harming my loved ones and soon it escalated. All of this leads us here towards sexual obsessions. I was abused many times when I was a child. I don't know if that had any impact on my sexual issues. so everything lead up to a intrusive tought of what would happend if i touch myself with a picture of your parents" and I ended up paying attention to the intrusive tought and i ended up doing what my intrusive tought told me so i said to me "OCD would make me touch myself for everything i loved so what, i would do it before the anxiety attacks" and I end up in a spiral of having touched myself by several photos of my family members, friends and even my own therapist all wanting to prevent future compulsions and anxiety now I only think about taking my life, I never wanted that to happen I am not a monster who has sexual desire towards my loved ones I fell under my own intrusive thought and the only thing I think about now is taking my life life for what I've done

Recently I (16m)feel hopeless I feel so sick and sad idk what to do I feel lost I feel like a monster everything has been hell, and I don’t know how to move on from the never ending guilt . I did awful things when I started high school, thinking being sexual was the way to connect.(idk if all of this was because when I was 8 I was shown explicit content by my older brother) I crossed boundaries, overshared, and kept flirting with friends and making sexual jokes, even after they said no (all over text). One friend stopped talking to me and can’t even look at me now. I feel like a monster. Why shouldn’t I be locked up? If I got therapy, I feel like I’d be sent jail. Idk if I can move on. Then there were these 2 guys who were older than me one was 16 one was 17. The 16 yr old was introduced to me by my online friend who is my best friend and I begged the 16 yr old for pics (idk how it started but after my friends ex randomly messaged me and sent me pictures and then blocked me right after I think I became addicted to chasing that high) the 16 yr old eventually sent me a pic but it was real and I stopped bugging him on it after that but i feel so bad I did that but my friend tells me not to feel bad cause the guy was weird but I still feel bad. Then the 17 yr old I did the same thing with him but went too far when I tried getting pics from him by using my best friends ass pics she sent me (she was 15) I don’t think I grasped how wrong this was but that’s not an excuse she eventually found it when I told her after she tried getting pics from the guy herself to try and help me and the guy got mad when she stopped talking to him cause we found it weird talking to him. I told her about how I sent the pics she said she felt sick but forgave me cause she thought I was gonna harm myself. Fast forward the guy told me after I had still been flirting with him that I s@d him (we never met in person ever) and I felt so guilty and apologized a lot and he got annoyed and told me that he had been kinda manipulative to me and kept me in a loop of mystery and I don’t talk to him anymore. But one of my other friends stopped talking to me after I was being by too emotionally taxing on him because I became very depressed and didn’t wanna life anymore and tried to stop lifing a few times. And now idk if I actually s@d someone if I did that to someone and now I think I’m a pdo and I think I s@d my baby cousins and my little brother and now I’m scared bf I can’t even get help because my parents don’t believe in therapy and even if I wanted to I’m scared because I don’t want to go to jail but I think I deserve it honestly why should a monster like me live.i wish I could move on like my older brother who seems to not feel guilty maybe this is what I deserve idk I feel like I can’t go on
