i do, i feel stupid and i feel guilty and it also comes with a lot of shame as it feels like i don’t deserve it and it feels like im hiding who i “truly” am like my intrusive thoughts and things, if that makes sense

Yes. I used to feel guilty for wanting to have long hair that’s why I always cut it to shoulder‘s length (so I don’t seduce men [OCD thought]). I felt guilty when I wore a dress. I felt guilty when I smiled at a man. Until someone told me it’s OCD.

@Anonymous Hm, the key was that someone told me for the first time about the differences that our thoughts are not who we are etc. I went to a psychotherapist for the first time and found out not all thoughts are true And then I started therapy and did ERP etc. that helped👍

i do feel guilty about dressing up, i don’t know it makes me feel like i’m doing “too much.” it’s something i enjoy doing bc i love expressing myself but always get these thoughts someone will make fun of me or i will look totally stupid in front of everyone else it’s so lame

Need a bit of advice!! 🎀
+18 only!! TW for sexual content!! (This might be TMI, but I need advice) So, this is kinda embarrassing, but I haven't been able to self-pleasure without feeling shame or guilt. It's so bad that I've just stopped altogether, but I don't want to avoid it. It was something I enjoyed and was comfortable with, and now, because of OCD, it just makes me feel... gross. It's a perfectly normal and healthy thing to do, but my mind just tries to convince me that it's wrong. Had anyone else dealt with this? It's not a huge issue, but I'm tired of unnecessary shame. :(

Read pls
I feel so ridiculous saying this. Has anyone struggled with looking down a people’s private areas since having ocd. I hate it, but feel I have to look or find myself just looking. I feel so guilty after and especially when it’s a women I kinda shudder after like why did I just do that. Ugh I hate this. I never used to have this issue but now I’m focusing on it my anxiety is going crazy with it . If people have experienced, how did you get over this??? My sexual orientation is thriving off this . I hate it
