The fact that you are so worried shows how much it goes against your morals. OCD is fuelled by the most outrageous things we could think of which is why it's so scary and we give it so much attention! It's just a thought and your anxiety is just a sensation. Allow the intrusive thought into your mind when it comes and it will soon become passive and boring. The more you react the more it wins and if you try not think about it it's all you'll think about. I know it's so much easier said then done but allow the thought and accept it as that is what it is. You're strong! Keep going!!

No sometimes even people with out harm ocd have thoughts like that. It’s okay to have crazy thoughts sometimes as long as you don’t do then

OMG I’m so happy you said this. I have the same thing and it’s scary to cause the questions just keep going on and on and the feelings say like it’s true. But I realized that it’s not. Feelings past and who you are stays the same, I believe that God made me the way I am for a purpose and on purpose. The truth is that Jesus is stronger than death- He saves me from death when I tried to end my life. These thoughts are just gling to keep taking until you have nothing left. So stay strong, remember the truth.

It wasn’t really an intrusive thought by the way. Like, it feels TRUE

You guys are right. Thanks all of you, I really appreciate it! Ahhh it’s mostly just scary because in the past where I’ve dealt with harm OCD, the thoughts have been absurd and untrue. Whereas the fact that this one has a little bit of truth in it is what threw me off. But I know I’d never do it and I know it’ll be okay. I hope!

**TMI Warning: This post is very personal and might be uncomfortable for some.** I’m feeling panicked and need to get this out. I have intrusive thoughts that make me question my morals, especially about consent. I have a CNC preference (consent to non-consent), but I feel so conflicted because I know how horrifying and heartbreaking real non-consensual acts are. The thought of anyone suffering in that way is so awful, yet I get thoughts that feel like I’m justifying the real thing—the immoral thing. Sometimes, I feel like I have to focus hard just to truly condemn it, and that terrifies me. It’s hard to separate these thoughts from who I am, and I’m scared it means something terrible about me. I feel so much shame for having a CNC preference. I know it’s rooted in consent, but I feel like I’ve never had certainty that I fully condemn the real thing. I’m scared that deep down, I might think it’s all the same.

I don’t know if my hormones are extra wild this month or what, but I have been having so many POCD thoughts lately. It feels like I enjoy them in the moment, and then a few seconds later, I get this tiny flicker of *wait I don’t think I actually want to enjoy that.* It’s scaring me a lot. I was watching adult videos for the first time in about a year, since I had been avoiding them because of my OCD. I know they are not good for anyone, but I felt like i could (ironically it felt like a tiny win that my OCD had calmed down enough). But while watching, I had like 3 separate POCD thoughts. And it felt like I liked them. Like genuinely *liked* them. I don’t know if maybe my body was mixing up physical pleasure and mental pleasure, and then my brain inserted those not okay thoughts into the situation, which got tangled up with the pleasure responses I felt mentally and physically. It is all really confusing. I just feel so scared. I know OCD thoughts are supposed to feel real, and that once you get desensitized to the anxiety, they lose their power. But this feels like I am *actually enjoying* the thoughts, and that makes me want to cry. I’m scared that I actually like these thoughts when I’m really aroused :( Please help.

Recently ive been getting very scared to even be angry bc of the horrible thoughts I have and it feels even more real when I'm angry or even annoyed. Rn I was not even super annoyed at my neice but I felt a twinge of annoyance since she went up to my face and was yelling at me while I was resting on the bed and I got this image of doing something bad to her and I felt my hand twitch very little. I got nervous and felt relieved when her dad told her to stop screaming for no reason. I've been hyperfocusing on my bodily reactions (mainly my hands or how I'm feeling like did I just enjoy that? Was I considering???) And I've noticed the small twitches whenever I'm mad or annoyed and it's scaring me so bad! Like do I want to act out? Am I holding back??? I used to not even twitch at all when mad and I felt 100% sure I'll never act out but now it feels like I don't know bc what do these twitches mean?, I do know I don't want to ever act out but it's so scary. Recently whenever I feel angry once the argument is over I cry really bad after I'm alone and I pray so i never want or act out. And when the annoyance passes I also feel so guilty and want to stay away. Im scared these are real urges and i research for many many hours to make sure they arent urges or impulses and i also tend to ask chatgpt or here if the anxiety gets so bad 😕
