ChatGpt scaring me

I just looked up if ocd thoughts can be right on ChatGPT and it said yes. I cannot do this. That answer literally put my anxiety through the roof. I’m so scared right now. Like I can’t even explain it. For the last month, my ocd has been revolving around having a certain fetish. It’s been telling me that if I were to go out and do anything related to that fetish in a sexual context, that I would enjoy it. My thoughts are telling me that I would enjoy it which is why I don’t want to explore it. But the truth is, I don’t want to explore it and im disgusted by anything that has to do with it in real life. I know I DONT have this fetish but my mind keeps distorting everything and literally ruining my life. I don’t know what’s real and what’s fake. Like I literally cannot tell anymore. Like this is literally the worst thing ever and im so terrified of my thoughts being right. I keep getting intrusive thoughts about this fetish and it gives me a groinal response which scares me so much. I wanna throw up.

I wouldn't rely on ai too much for an answer on anything. It's like a baby with really good English and fast to answer. Don't mistake ARTIFICAL intelligence for genuine intelligence

Don’t worry. This is just OCD entangling you in its typical traps. This is just classic OCD. You might feel alone in your symptoms, but OCD actually acts in very predictable ways. I think ERP therapy will really help. It will give you training on how to handle the thoughts and also the physical sensations (like the groinal response, etc.). (Spoiler alert: These things don’t matter, and you can go on with your life whether the thoughts/sensations are there or not.) Ultimately, your issues are not about the fetish at all. This is just like a person with harm OCD. Their issues are not actually about knives. Or if a person has contamination OCD, their issues are not really germs. Instead, the REAL issues are how we handle the OCD thoughts and compulsions. In reality, a thought is just a thought. It doesn’t matter what it is or how horrible it is. People with OCD might imagine a penis on the Virgin Mary. They might have swear words in their head toward God. They might have thoughts of throwing their children out of the window. These are all distressing thoughts. But the point is—IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THOUGHTS WE HAVE IN OUR HEADS. It doesn’t matter if you are thinking of a fetish or not. It doesn’t matter if you thinking those thoughts on purpose or not. It’s just the same as any other disturbing OCD thought. It’s just OCD, and it’s meaningless. The groinal response doesn’t matter either. It’s just like an intrusive thought. It doesn’t matter if it’s there it not. You don’t have to do anything about it. It doesn’t mean anything about anything. ERP therapy will help with all this

Chat GPT and OCD

Does anyone have any advice? I was venting to Chat GPT about my fears a month ago and one of the questions I asked it got flagged. Despite it getting flagged, it explained to me that all the symptoms that I had been experiencing from the situation I told it about were ocd and actually provided me a lot of reassurance in the moment. Although I established that I had ocd from the beginning, I started worrying about that question that I asked it saying that it was against community guidelines. Even though it still answered the question and told me it was ocd now I’m worried that I shared too much with it. I deleted my account out of worry that it could have a data leakage or something like that. I got even more scared when I researched if my data would really get deleted or not and it said that my data would get deleted but some would be retained for “legal or security reasons” which scares me because what if that data could be deemed as that. I’ve just been really stressing over this and feel like I shouldn’t have even asked chat gpt in the first place but I felt desperate. Even though it said that they were ocd symptoms, I’m scared that I shared too much and that it will retain that data for being flagged. Can someone help?

I’m freaking out please help

I don’t know if my hormones are extra wild this month or what, but I have been having so many POCD thoughts lately. It feels like I enjoy them in the moment, and then a few seconds later, I get this tiny flicker of *wait I don’t think I actually want to enjoy that.* It’s scaring me a lot. I was watching adult videos for the first time in about a year, since I had been avoiding them because of my OCD. I know they are not good for anyone, but I felt like i could (ironically it felt like a tiny win that my OCD had calmed down enough). But while watching, I had like 3 separate POCD thoughts. And it felt like I liked them. Like genuinely *liked* them. I don’t know if maybe my body was mixing up physical pleasure and mental pleasure, and then my brain inserted those not okay thoughts into the situation, which got tangled up with the pleasure responses I felt mentally and physically. It is all really confusing. I just feel so scared. I know OCD thoughts are supposed to feel real, and that once you get desensitized to the anxiety, they lose their power. But this feels like I am *actually enjoying* the thoughts, and that makes me want to cry. I’m scared that I actually like these thoughts when I’m really aroused :( Please help.
