hey, i have seen your posts lately and it is very clear that you are spiraling i understand that this is very scary and hard to endure, however the real truth is- whatever you are scared of, whatever it may be, no one can help or give you the answer. not you, not me, not a therapist, no one. you must accept this fact. there is absolutely nothing you can do about whatever you are afraid of. it is okay to lean into this uncertainty. you do not need the answer and you will not find it. no one knows. not you, not me, not a therapist, no one. you must accept the fact you will not find an answer to your problem. you CAN do this. i promise

@vaIentine Yeah cause I keep thinking if I was attracted to the character that looked like a kid but is and is not a kid at the same time it makes my head spin around and I can’t sleep. And I’m trapped thinking am I a bad person but know I really don’t want to be physically attracted to a character like that and I was never proud and never wanted to!!

@1000anonymous1000 maybe you were, there is that real chance that you were with that being said, there is absolutely nothing you can do to find out for sure. there is no way you can be 1000000% certain. you must learn to lean into this uncertainty, despite how absolutely uncomfortable it may be. you CAN do this. ocd is a monster, but you can get through this.

@1000anonymous1000 remember, i can’t give you the answer you want because i don’t know the answer. that’s the thing, i can’t give you the answer with certainty because certainly isn’t possible in every situation i promise you can get through this i truly don’t know the answer, you could of very well felt attraction, you could of not, there’s no way to get the answer

@1000anonymous1000 There is nothing you can do,to be honest. You can only accept that there is a possibility that you thought about it and you cant change it. You can never be sure about anything, you have to let go, your thinking about it wont change the past, neither will it help you with your distress. Even if you did then there is nothing you can do to change this fact, you have to accept that, thats the only option to get better. You're going to destroy yourself if you keep ruminating about it

@Delirium Even if it’s bad as think a anime character with a child body is hot but I really don’t want to think like that😭 I’m sorry if I sound like a creep

@1000anonymous1000 Sometimes there are just things out of your control, and your thoughts are one of these things, sometimes we get thoughts that we dont like and we cant do anything about them. You really should try accepting these thoughts, to not ruminate about them that much. For me, the thing that helped was telling myself that I dont have control over certain things, and thats fine. The process of accepting your thoughts and do not engage with them is really hard, but the effect is worth it

@1000anonymous1000 I dont think that there is a scenario where you can do otherwisly, especially because it was just a thought

@Delirium What if it wasn’t just a thought?

@1000anonymous1000 What if it was? Still, past is past, you cant change it, you cant control it, no matter what thing you did, felt or thinked about, you cant change it. If it wasnt just a thought then it wasnt just a thought, thats it, you still cant do anything about it, you cant unfeel or unthink something. You have no control over it, and no matter with that scenario you would come with to me, its still in the past and you cant change it, its really time to move on

@1000anonymous1000 As I said, there is no scenario in which I would change my mind. It looks like you need complete reassurance that you have the right to let go, and I dont want to give it since it can only make you spiral more. You should accept (by that I mean at least trying to do this) that there is a milions of possibilities and you can never be sure about anything. I cant give you 100% reassurance, because I myself dont know for sure, and thats fine.
