Funny - Everyone has intrusive thoughts. The priest, the Pope and even the Buddhist monk. Everyone.

I would get triggered but I have already gotten triggered by something similar many times to the point that this is usual stuff (unfortunately ?) but the actual best thing you can do is to NOT overthink do NOT explore the doubt. I'm still working on this but when I manage to, I notice how I usually just forget what BS thought came up. I do feel like I can remember if I linger too much but I just have to snap out of the pull to overthink and go over it over and over and try to focus on whatever video or something entertaining that I was watching.

I've had this shit going on 5 years (can't believe I've made it this long tbh) and have learned the hard way that once you pay attention to a new thought, it will keep getting worse. I know it is so difficult but train your awareness and know when you are starting to get triggered and zeeeep move on to something that requires some focus and whenever you feel shit coming up zeeeeep focus on what is actually going on not what is in your head. I'm new on here so hit me up any time ✌

Thank you for your answers!I know I’m supposed to ignore the thoughts, accept them and that everyone has them on a certain degree but they’re terrifying and graphic, it literally stands against everything I am as a person (or not? that’s the fear right there). I’m literally having a one on one fight with my brain lol. And welcome to our community MrSnake!

TW: I’m so desperate lately. I can’t sleep, eat or do anything else than feeling anxious and unworthy, full of guilt. A couple of days ago I had sex with my boyfriend and wasn’t turned on and suddenly I thought about something that would turn me on in that moment, thought of different things and suddenly I thought „Just think about children, just this one time“ and I feel like I didn’t do anything against it, I even think I enjoyed it and since then I’m full of fear because I always thought OCD means you do not have these thoughts because you want them but because you can’t control them and you do not act on them. But now I feel like I have and I can’t stop thinking I really am a pedophile now. I feel so anxious depressed and guilty and I do not know what to do, I went to my therapist today and she said it’s my POCD, but I feel like a liar, I’m feeling like maybe I don’t have POCD, I am just denying what I truly am it is horrible I don’t know what to do or think. I’m lost

Hey everyone, I’ve already asked this previously but no one answered so I’m giving this another shot! I think I may suffer from ocd but I’m scared to reach out for help for various reasons. This is a question for people suffering from pure O, do you have to tell your therapist what your intrusive thoughts/images are? I am really scared of my intrusive thoughts and I can’t say anything for now but I really need help.
