Real Event OCD/Gronial Response/ Rumination

I was making so much progress with my OCD, but now I feel like im back at square one with a new OCD obsession 🤦🏾‍♀️ Its so uncomfortable to talk about because i feel like since most the people I know don’t understand OCD and how it works they will look at me weird and crazy. I was on twitter a few days ago and seen a tweet saying that there was some “horse video” going around and I immediately had a past memory of when I was in high school !!!! TRIGGER WARNING!!!! I was in bed at night mas/urbating as a teenager would occasionally do, and was on instagram watching p/rn, and unexpectedly & involuntarily came across a very odd video of a women and a horse doing yk what, and I KNOW that it wasn’t something I continued watching or enjoyed obviously, but my OCD is convincing me that I did because I was in an aroused state at that time before seeing the video & also because I can’t fully remember that moment or what happened because it was so long ago. I KNOW in my heart that is not in my character to EVER watch or enjoy anything like that so this is really bothering me because I keep questioning if im a weird person or if I enjoyed it… Its so frustrating because everytime I remember because of the continuous thought, I get a gronial response and I feel like I can’t be comfortable around my boyfriend or my dogs because the thought keeps popping up. I HATE OCD it literally has made me lose myself and question who I am as a person 😪😪😪 I really wish I didn’t get on twitter a few days ago because I was finally feeling like my OCD was gone… I just wish I could get rid of this its a constant bully and the gronial response makes it even worse because I feel like now whenever I actually want to participate in a romantic act I will remember this or atleast my OCD is telling me that.

You know who you are! You know it isn’t you to be into that, don’t question that. Weird shi* like this happens to me too I understand. You didn’t watch it again after that, it’s not like you looked into it again, the fact that it bothers you is proof that you aren’t sick. Our beliefs are dictated but what we continue to tell ourselves and our brain will find evidence to support that belief so that we believe it more. Whenever the intrusive thoughts pop in just remind yourself that you aren’t sick in the head and that it’s just your response because of the OCD. And also remember we are human! It is natural to be aroused by other people being aroused. Was she in pain when you watched it? Was the pain arousing? Is there anything from your past that would cause you to be aroused by pain? Likely it isn’t because it was an animal it’s because of something deeper. Or it wasn’t the video that aroused you at all, just the fact that it was crazy and interesting that you kept watching it. Also sometimes taboo things like that can be hard to look away from lol. It’s like watching the man in Florida get his face eaten 😂 weird example but of course nobody wants to see that but at the same time we are curious because we are human. Talk to your therapist about what the deeper issue could be cause there is a reason it bothers you so much but it’s not because your sick in the head. And you’re not alone! It could be unresolved trauma or it could just be the OCD.

@Anonymous Thank you this helps alot! I feel the reason it does bother me so much is because of self doubt. Like the OCD trying to convince me I liked it or enjoyed it and I personally hate having those thoughts because it makes me feel like I have no control.

I feel gross

I shouldn’t have done this (trigger trigger trigger!!) So about a month ago..maybe I watched this video (as a compulsion to prove to myself) The video was called “interview with a p3d0” And basically it was what it says, I watched or more like listened to half of it…after I was disgusted by the person, but now all I can think of is every little thing I do, I feel as if tho I’m monitoring every thought/moment and feeling I have it’s torturous and I hate it..I feel disgusting, the person in the video has empathy and sympathy and had those feelings yk, I can’t explain it you’d have to watch the video yourself but please don’t it will ruin your journey…I feel more hopeless then before, my OCD is telling me so many things trying to convince me things that Ik aren’t true, I’m just really scared I don’t want to be that person I want to be a good cousin and person to my family, I’m sick of my head and myself, I’m so tired that sometimes I can’t even think straight, my head is always in pain and idek how to help myself..compulsions have been becoming more and more exhausting… I need advice or even someone to relate to, I understand I shouldn’t have done what I did but idk how to forget it.. I had made this post already but when someone replied I couldn’t see it for some reason so I’m uploading it again

Okay so In the moment I get intrusive thoughts about children which I hate. I get the gronal responses which I always so many compultions after. My ocd is very bad and I’m showering and changing my bedding around 8 times. Therapists have told me I’m the worse they’ve ever known. That’s how bad my life is atm. I hate this disorder. I want to know if ocd can cause these things as it will help me to fight my compulsions and just except it’s ocd… In the moment the gronal responses are genuinely pleasurable and I struggle to ignore them and stop them, in the moment t I want them even if it was due to a thought of a kid My OCD will tell me I’m aroused I’ll feel aroused then when moving around in my bed it’ll tell me to make my vagina touch my bedding for a feeling while I’m turning over and I purposely do it in the moment… I hate it. After I do so many compilations, it’s not even me it’s like someone else controlling my body When I try to fight my compulsions I think in my mind “I like this anyways” and actually like the thoughts and gronal responses over the children, which then makes me not be able to fight them. For example my ocf was telling me to spray my feet with anti back, but then I tried to fight it and I was thinking to myself “nah l like this one I like this feeling over the kid it’s the real me” like I didn’t even feel stressed from it it’s like I wanted it. Of corse after these I do lots and many compultions Please I just want to know if ocd can do this

Heyyyy!

So my OCD has been bad lately. I’ve been ruminating and obsessing over my sexuality again. And it just keeps getting worse. I hate it so much. I try to sit with the discomfort but then my ocd does the backdoor spike. And the groinal response is what keeps me looped. It SUCKS. I am not attracted to men, but my OCD is trying SO hard to convince me that I am. There have been days where I’m just so mentally exhausted that I “accept” what my ocd tells me and I just walk around a hollow, lethargic shell. But then I rethink it and I feel better. It feels like I can only find my TRUE self when I tire my nervous system out enough that it literally breaks down and has me suicidal and hopeless. And then accepting my OCD’s “truth” (that I’m attracted to men) feels like a burden and a chore. I woke up today from an OCD dream, tried to go back to sleep, and my stomach kept cramping bc I was so anxious and ruminating over my intrusive thoughts. I’m starting to doubt it being OCD anymore. My brain is too tired to fight and cry about it anymore.
