With animals and family members, it gave me horrible horrible anxiety for so many hears and I still struggle with it. It’s still so strange
I used to!
It’s the worst ocd I’ve ever had. I actually think I rubbed against my dog at one point. Or was it just the couch because they moved. Idk I did it because I reached a point where I thought okay I’m either going to kill myself or do this and find out if I’m into animals. This was 5 years ago maybe and I think about it every day of my life thinking I’m going to go to hell. I can’t remember exactly what happened I don’t know if part of it was a false memory or what. I’ll never know and a lot of times I wish I wasn’t alive because I can’t deal with the guilt and disgust in myself
Yes I get sexual thoughts about animals, especially my dogs. I also get sexual thoughts about Religious figures like Jesus Christ, and God. I try not to watch wildlife programmes or videos , especially of animals mating. Cuz it triggers off sexual thoughts about it. And imagine I am the one who is with that animal at the time. I suffer alot of physical harmful thoughts to myself to yes. I am often curious of how it would feel if I put a metal knife down a live toaster, or to touch a hot ring on the oven with the metal knife. My family try to keep me away from any electrical items now, just to try to keep me safe.
I have harm OCD so I totally understand.
It’s definitely an uncomfortable feeling I understand ? But you are most definitely not alone! I used to feel alone and disgusted with myself and I times I do, but I remember that this is what ocd does to us. You have to remember you are bigger than that!
I don’t really know how to start this honestly. It may be long winded. I’m not sure that I have OCD, I’m not trying to take away any experience from anyone but I don’t know how else to explain when I obsess and feel consumed and disturbed by thoughts like this. I’ve been good for a while, thoughts have been at bay, I haven’t googled anything either or had any bodily responses/urges. But I saw something in the news today that brought it back up and disturbed me and I’m back in that headspace again if worrying I’m a danger or a freak or gross. I’m feeling alone in this, I don’t know how to talk about it, and I don’t know how to move through it.
"zOCD false memories" HI... I'm so sorry for bothering you... I'm not looking for reassurence, not at all. Just some sympathy? I have the strangest and ugliest feeling that I may have done sexual things to my pets but I just forgot about them. I truly don't remember ever doing anything wrong or weird to them, but that feeling doesn't vanish... Everytime I look at them, that feeling resurfaces. I continue to interact with them (exposure i guess) but this feeling doesn't get any smaller... Am I the only one? It helps me a lot to know I'm not alone... Or that this is normal in ocd. I feel that feeling similar to "whenever you leave the house, you feel like you forgot something but you go through your belongings and nothing is amiss but that feeling doesn't vanish" I guess the reason why I am so worried about it is... If something actually happened, I have to kill myself... I keep thinking about about possible scenarios and see if anything could have happened but I remember nothing...
