I have these kinds of weird thoughts all the time ... I’ve had weird sexual thoughts since I was a kid and used to feel like the dirtiest person in the world. For me it’s been a process of being honest with people and finding out most people have these thoughts they just let them pass by. Usually for me it’s distressing or used to be because it went against everything I morally believe in... so it made me feel nasty and sinful and just gross and I really thought something disturbing was wrong with me growing up...as I’ve studied ocd it makes me feel more normal knowing my mind just has racing thoughts about what normal people think about. Our brains process things differently than someone say without ocd. Know that it’s ok. You aren’t your thoughts. Easier said than done. It can be torturous mentally and emotionally and spiritually .... but I promise if I am better and can make it and now laugh at my thoughts that are pervy or sick or whatever I classify them as.... I just laugh and think lol you can’t control me anymore . And realizing I don’t have to act out on these thoughts and I never have either. Our minds are pretty deep in the thought process and people with ocd are very intelligent ... our intelligence can really make this harder to overcome as we feel threatened by thoughts that mean nothing

Thanks so much guys honestly , I really needed to hear these things. I try to leave them alone but it’s so hard to just let them pass without getting involved I just get so grossed out. I started to worry that because I wasn’t debating my sexuality that it wasn’t even HOCD anymore. I just hate the thoughts so much. Especially the ones that attack my attraction to women, they’re all so crazy. I appreciate all of you and hope we all overcome this someday !

Just let them be and don’t reassure yourself they will slowly go away

Don't try to fight back or do anything to speed up the disappearance of thoughts. They'll go away on their own, in their own time.

OCD and sex
Hi everyone I could really use some help on this topic. It’s hard to admit and talk about but after being on here I see that I’m not the only one! Still I would love some support and advice with how to deal with those unwanted sexual thoughts. For me it’s so uncomfortable and honestly gross when sexual thoughts get out of hand with normal people and also do extremely out of hand that even loved ones get involved. Like when I watch tv and all of a sudden I have these gross thoughts that I know if I accept they will go away but how can you accept something so gross? Would love some help!

SO-OCD
I’ve been struggling a lot recently with intrusive thoughts and images of the same gender, and I’ll often get a groinal response out of pure terror which then fuels hyperawareness to the groin and to salivation which then makes my whole body burn and ruins my whole day out of fear of it meaning something about myself despite all the evidence in my past that I am straight (e.g having a baby on the way, only being attracted to women), I try to tell myself that it’s all OCD and it is a lie, but the groinal response just keeps me in this horrible spiral constantly, to the point that I have nightmares about it, does anyone else have this problem? I’m so exhausted because of it and I can’t sleep because the intrusive thoughts keep me awake for hours on end, I’m getting the help I need but the wait is crippling :(
