Pet OCD-Cat

I saw a Tik tok video randomly of a woman petting her cat at the base of its tail and it making a funny noise. I read the comments and random ppl were saying she was turning her cat on…which is not true. Anyway, one day I saw my sweet cat and decided to sit on the floor and just pet her and love on her. As I was petting her, the intrusive thought of that video came in and I still petted her near the base of her tail literally for like 2 seconds and now my ocd has been questioning intentions and I’m having the hardest time of my life. 😭😭😭 I just need someone to relate to. 😭 Any advice?

My understanding of intrusive thoughts is that it is harshly critical, absolutely judgemental, unfavorably negative, its always bias, prejudice, discriminatory,

Unjust, detached from empathy and compassion, trust, truth and reality. What I learned... Fact check self regularly.

You did the right thing! If you were to stop petting her there, that would be giving into the intrusive thought and doing an avoidance compulsion. By continuing to pet her, you exposed yourself to the fear, which is excellent! Now you just have to follow it up by refusing to engage with the compulsions and thoughts that want you to figure it out for sure.

@OutstandingCutieDisorder My OCD is convincing me that I petted her there to mimic the Tik tok video after the intrusive thought came in. But I literally scratched her near her tail for a few seconds. In the tik tok video they were scratching the cat until it started making strange noises. I thought maybe I was just trying to face my fear but then my ocd says nope! You were trying to copy the video. I’m so scared of this disease. 😭😭😭😭😭

I ask myself if whiskas or paws have ever turned me on and the answer is always no. Its an intrusive thought and means nothing about you 🤗

Thank you. I just remember during this time I was in and IOP ocd program and maybe the reason I kept petting her was because I was either just nervous or just continuing to act normal bc it’s okay to pet your cat near its tail. My ocd keeps telling me I had the thought and then acted on it bc I moved my had to that area. I just can’t seem to get over this one. I’m pregnant and all I want to do is enjoy my pregnancy.

The best way to get over it is lean into the uncertainty. By trying to justify it in your head, you only feed more into the cycle. Instead, try telling yourself that it's impossible to know your intentions, so it only wastes energy to try,

It's an ugly thing, look into a mirror to check-in ... and tell it to Shut Up! Then say some affirmative words to yourself.

Help, Meta OCD/POCD?

I’ve been feeling the urge to avoid intimacy or purposefully engage (for reassurance that I won’t give into a compulsion) because of intrusive thoughts and fear that I’ll “check/test” my reactions. My OCD is making me so scared that I’ll purposefully think of a child and try to see if I like it. It’s so complicated but I guess I’m mentally checking if I would mentally check during intimacy. I’ve even envisioned myself checking and it’s making me so nauseous. I know it’s a compulsion like any other but the sound of “touching yourself to the thought of a child” sounds atrocious and vile. I’m terrified I’ll automatically start checking next time I am being intimate. I truly feel so worried. If anyone has gone through something similar, I’d appreciate hearing your experience. Or if anyone has any advice?

Help pls

I’m half asleep and I went to grab my pet and I had intrusive thought about grabbing them hard or I should try to I can’t remember it happened too fast and when I grabbed my pet I instinctively grabbed harder like it wasn’t on purpose it just happened I guess cause I was having the thought at the same time as I went to do the action I don’t know. Like because my brain said grab harder I just subconsciously did because my brain said it idk I’m confused. Is this from OCD?
