Hey I have the same thing too, but so do a lot of people that I didn’t know struggle with it too, at first I thought it was just me, but the first step is to acknowledge that we know it’s wrong so, that way our true selves know that we don’t want to do that and we won’t, our minds sometimes wander off and make us think things but just because we have a thought like that doesnt mean it’s true or we want to act on it, what helps me is trying to not even make an acknowledgment about it because I don’t wanna feed into it, I just tell my true self that that’s obviously something that would never satisfy me and slowly the thoughts would go away because your brain learns to just not even trigger it’s senses into making it worse

Hey there, it sounds like you're going through a really tough time with your sexual OCD. It's incredibly brave of you to reach out and share what you're experiencing, especially since this topic can feel so daunting to talk about. 🌟 Remember, you're not alone in feeling scared or confused about discussing these fears, even with a therapist. I'm no OCD expert, especially with this theme, but I want to share some resources that might help, if that's okay with you. The OCD Stories podcast has been a great source of comfort and insight for me, offering personal stories and professional advice that you might find relatable and helpful. Also, I recently started using an app called "unstuck OCD therapy tools" after my NOCD therapist recommended it to me. It's designed to provide AI-personalized guidance and exercises right when you need them, which could be a great support alongside your therapy sessions. 📱 It might help make those conversations with your therapist a bit easier to navigate, by giving you tools and language to express what you're going through.

If you want you can join a group chat of fellow ocd people and talk to us about it?

You don't have to be scared talking to your therapist about it. I told my therapist almost about everything. They understood me a lot and they knew things that I was afraid to tell them. It actually made me feel relieved and surprised me too. Again, don't worry about telling your therapist everything because most likely they'll already know the things that you're afraid to tell because of their past clients related to your subtype. When it comes to sexual stuff like images or groinal response. You just have to sit with it. Its difficult but eventually you have to do it in order for these thoughts to stop. If like me for example, you'll eventually get tired of doing the compulsions or mental compulsion related to the sexual OCD and just sit there without doing any compulsions out of irritation and exhaustion. You got this. 👍

It would an important to fix the gut issues and probably get on SSRI’s and Clomipramine possibly. We either have a bad gut not creating Serotonin or our Nerves are so messed up in our brain that Seritonin isn’t crossing the Synapses correctly, our Myelin Shealth is probably really thin and we need B12 or injections to build it up.

Sorry, I am a POCD sufferer and found some stuff to help me, I just want to spread the News.
