Reassurance??!!
I guess I'm seeking reassurance, but please tell me these horrible images are just the OCD and doesn't mean who I am

If you don't want the images and they're intrusive, you know the answer. No reassurance from me. Stay strong 💪

@Wolfram Thank you Wolfram! I need to vent. I feel sick to my stomach from it. It's affecting me physically now too. My images have me so scared of myself. I'm trying to talk myself off the ledge. I have therapy tomorrow and she has me writing out it's just an image... no need to respond. Writing it over and over, but it doesn't seem to be helping bc I have to bring up the disgusting image in my head when I don't want it there in the first place.

@Speckles I know it's tough. All you want to do is walk away from it, but that's not worked before right? I find it's something you need to walk through as painful as it may be and don't give up until you get through to the other side. If you're struggling today, go over it with your therapist tomorrow to help work on motivation or goals to get you through it. I found having a goal greater than the suffering was something that helped me. You may already have one but forget it when the overwhelming emotions kick in.

@Wolfram Thanks! Good idea. I'll go over it with her tomorrow and maybe set up some new goals. This feels so unbearable at times. I've wasted hours ruminating when there is so much that needs to be done. Housework and stuff. I've let things go bc of it

Religious OCD
Hey everyone, I need help. I woke up just now with the worst thoughts ever. Thoughts that GOD leaving me, thoughts that I like the bad guy, and thoughts that are worse than anything that I have ever thought of before. I realize that I am asking for reassurance, but I am so scared that I mean these thoughts and I just want GOD to keep me and my family safe and know that I don’t mean these thoughts… please help

Is this something OCD does?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢

Religious OCD/ Mean thoughts about sexuality
Hi everyone, I was sitting thinking about my ex texting me.. we are truly friends and haven’t thought about anything more between us.. but I was fantasizing about what he might be texting me about. I was thinking “oh maybe he is going to text me and say that he is still in love with me… or since he is bi-sexual, maybe he is going to tell me that he has HIV..” I immediately felt horrible because that is a stereotype about the gay community that is completely false and it was a horrible thing to think… I tried to say “that was a horrible thought to have and you have never had a thought like that before, just don’t do it again.” But I am so ashamed and my OCD is telling me that the bad guys is going to get me… can someone please assure me that I am not a terrible person? I know that we shouldn’t be seeking reassurance but I am struggling
