Take a deep breath ❤️ I have also had intrusive sexual thoughts about family members. When this first came up for me (last summer), I absolutely panicked and freaked out. So I can sympathize with what you say here. I also want you to know that your what if questions are your OCD talking. And I understand why you’re scared, I really do. But this is 100% treatable. There is so much hope for you. Please be gentle with yourself. Please understand that mental illness is hard to live with and you deserve grace and self compassion. Do you have a support system?

@tayanominous This is going to sound bizarre, and this took me a long time to do, but learning to laugh at your OCD can be helpful. I will say “you know what OCD? It would be so funny if this family member does whatever you’re coming up with. I will laugh and laugh. How silly.” Or, “maybe I do want this. Huh. Cool.” Non engagement responses can really help pump the brakes on a spiral. If it feels urgent or real, it’s probably just OCD. Hang in there!
