Stay strong, I don't go through that and I hope it doesn't happen to me, another headache, but like me, stay connected to what you want from the bottom of your heart, the mind is very powerful, it can be your best friend or your worst enemy. It's very difficult, I know, with what I deal with it has been difficult for me, but I keep it clear what I want for myself and as long as it is like that nothing will make me modify it
Hi! You have ocd and you’re experiencing intrusive thoughts. These thoughts feel distressing because they go against your values. But that’s all they are- thoughts. Lots of people have so many different thoughts throughout the day that they don’t even pay attention to. You have to try and do the same- when you get the thoughts- remember that they don’t mean anything, let them pass. When you get another one, do the same. Remember you’re not a bad person- these thoughts don’t say anything about who you are ❤️
@Dee88 Thank you so much for this. All I feel like I need right now is some support. I appreciate you.
@Katarinagabriella You’re so welcome!
This, unfortunately, is a common ocd theme. OCD attacks what you value. I would bet you value children and childhood so the icky intrusive thoughts (that anybody can have) get stuck making your adrenal glands and brain think something is really wrong when it is not. Ali Greymond on YouTube is very helpful!! You are not alone!! I wish you all of the best!
hello! i can’t see your last two posts, but we’re here to give a hand!
@grlwithocd 🎀 When I see children all I think about are their private parts :( it scares me and I don’t know how to change it. It’s like no matter what the thoughts don’t leave my head. When I’m 23 and for years I was fine and didn’t have these thoughts :(
@Katarinagabriella Hi. I'm new to this. I've been learning so much from a guy someone on here recommended to me on YouTube as I'm waiting to start therapy. These thoughts are not who you are, they aren't true.
@Mike in PA Who is it?
@Katarinagabriella Mark DeJesus. He is a former pastor so much of what he says is faith based, but so much is about taking power away from thoughts
@Mike in PA Thank you
I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh
So I’m always telling people who say I’m not getting any help or advice on my post that maybe those people just don’t know what to say or they’re afraid of possibly making the situation worse… well while that is completely understandable I feel like the amount of help/advice/ interaction has went down drastically on this app.. again not complaining I’m thankful for everyone on here but I just wanted to know if others have felt the same way
I told a few people on social media about my OCD, including POCD and how distressing it is. But everyone went quiet, then a few hours later I posted that I don’t support pedophilia at all neither do I justify it or am a pedo. Then someone replied with: “I think someone might take it bc u have such an obsessive fear of it u might have actual p3 do philic tendencies” I can’t do this anymore, I’m terrified to spiral again like a few months ago but I’m on the brink of doing it again. I’m shaking and stressing tf out I hate this so so so so so much
