Okay so, I know ocd has prevented me from basically doing anything I used to doā¦ but I also have had a lot of eye opening moments to what I see is or isnāt okay. Me and my partner have had issues with porn and shit in past, which has contributed to me not feeling ok about certain scenes in movies, like even if before ocd I used to watch whatever scene/movie with my bf, and we used to not care, porn is a big reason as to why I have chosen for us to not watch Sex/sexual scenes, strip club scenes, nudity, etcā¦ I made it a rule when I had ocd , but just because I made that a rule doesnāt mean that itās the only reason why. I shouldnāt have to be āokā with certain scenes in movies, not everyone in life can watch that stuff without having their soul affected. Iām also religious and feel that certain things are wrong, so thereās a few reasons as to why we donāt do that now, but ocd is trying to tell me itās a compulsion and that Iāll never get over ocd because of it. Like I think people are aloud to have change of opinions , yes when I made that rule part of it was because I was worried about triggers but thereās also that because of past issues I donāt want either me or my bf engaging in those types of scenes, no Iām not being immature (my own Nan skips past anything like that) we are religious and see certain things differently than others.
On top of that because I used to watch like cardi b music vids and shit where she is just being a slut the whole way through in EVERY music video, I used to love her music and songs and shit, I still listen to her occasionally but just because I used to watch stuff like that doesnāt mean I should have to just to āget over ocdā yes part of it is about preventing being triggered, but also is a respect thing to myself, my partner, and Jesus and my relationship. I know lots of people wouldnāt give a shut about that stuff, but I do! It affects my soul. We are all brainwashed into thinking that people making videos like that is right, Iām sorry itās not. I get that there may be some music videos I watch that may have certain things that pop up, but I can CHOOSE to look away like my partner does if thereās like twerking or something in it, but when I just KNOW the whole music video is going to be something that affects my soul or I feel Is disrespectful to my partner, myself and our relationship, (I wouldnāt like him watching a music video like that) I shouldnāt have to do that as an exposure right????
Exposures should be things that are normal like going to the shops, or public places for example. just because before in the past I didnāt see an issue with stuff like that doesnāt mean my opinion canāt change on that stuff??? As I said why would I do something I wouldnāt like him doing? Itās hard for me to sometimes know wrong from right because ocd fucks with my head, but sometimes I rely on other peoples insight like my mum or partner because I canāt think for myself at timesā¦ anyway all Iām saying is just because I used to fo that stuff before I REALISED how it affected my soul and stuff, I shouldnāt have to just be āokā with it just because I used to, I just donāt want to think this is a compulsion and that I wonāt ever get ocd with this mindset because thatās what OCD is telling meā¦. I donāt want to play itās games anymore, but I also shouldnāt have to āexposeā myself to sexual/slutty content/material just to āget over ocdā Iāll repeat again I have been a lot closer to god through this and feel certain things are just wrong like those scenes or certain music videos. Any Christianās maybe similar to me, can give me some perspective?
