Why is it that when I see, for example, a completely benign situation, with people who are not adapted to such things (pocd, zocd, socd) I see mimicry, movement, I see something sexual and I feel something😔
Because our Brain is searching for it . It searches for danger and looks for triggers and therefore finds them
@nyx32 and it does this without our awareness? because I don't understand it any other way. ruin my day!
@Anonimus ME 🦋 Check out Mark Freeman‘s Video on YouTube: „What if the Obsession is about something I really did“ that one really helped me, it‘s not only about real event but also a really humorous approach to our struggle

@Anonimus ME 🦋 Just now I had my hand near his face and felt like touching him like I had this sensation in my hand like I would not care if my hand did something bad Omg
@Anonimus ME 🦋 This sounds very suspicious and p
@Idontknow know, it's horrible...but you just have to ignore it, always without analysis, because that's what anxiety did and your excessive thinking about the scenario...it's not your desire, but fear, but even when it seems that you would do "something" it's a sample of FEAR and ANALYSIS of the brain... It's ironic that it really stops when we learn to ignore it at all..but that part is the hardest part..
He has many great videos
@nyx32 Who? Do you think that's not conscious? It's so disturbing..scaring to me.
@Anonimus ME 🦋 I wrote a message above
@nyx32 I don't know.. maybe I don't see messages..
@Anonimus ME 🦋 Sorry, I don‘t understand what you mean right now
@nyx32 you say that "he has a lot of good videos" so I asked who, probably we didn't understand each other..but thanks you certainly.. I was really shaken 😔

@nyx32 thank you very much! now I accidentally entered here.. sometimes I really don't see notifications on time.. how are you?
@Anonimus ME 🦋 I‘m doing fine at the moment. My therapist and I are working through my Traumas First before starting ERP. So there‘s that.. all the sensations, thoughts and all are still there. I just remind myself that I‘m not alone and have this Community to open up to. That really helps.. how are you? Do you work with a therapist?
@nyx32 I do..thank you on the question.. I have bad days and good days, but I am very grateful for everyone here..
I get thoughts of kids Whever I think or see an image of someone my age, like for example today I saw a bikini pic of a girl my age and it randomly reminded me of a pic of a kid in a bikini I saw a month ago, is this a sign of something bad? My thought usually come up when I think abt someone my age I’m into, and they also feel like I’m purposely thinking of them, I’m not sure if it intrusive thoughts or not, it feels difficult to figure out. These thoughts also don’t distress me anymore, idk if it means something bad or not, but I do not wish to be a pedo, I hope to eventually have a relationship with a girl my age. Alongside all of that, sometimes when I see a kid I get a sense of attraction, but I’m not sure if it is false or not, to me it feels so real, but I don’t wanna be attracted to kids. I’ve just started therapy, I’m currently trying to find a way to get a diagnosis, I really hope I’m not diagnosed as a pedo. Ik that false attraction comes with negative emotion, but I don’t feel negative emotion when I get what I hope is false attraction, I keep trying to figure out if what I’m feeling is false or true because I don’t feel negative emotions, it makes me worried that it’s real and that I really am a pedo. Not looking for reassurance but can someone tell me if these are pure o ocd symptoms or something actually bad?
I never read someone talk about this so I wanted to know if it applies to anyone as well. For context: I deal with ROCD and SOCD but I do identify as straight and am in a (happy) relationship with a man. What often triggers me is memories about childhood and adolescences about having the groinal toward nudity in porn or music videos. Because I can’t deny having watched other things than straight porn and experimenting with porn I simply can’t stop trying to figure out what that might have meant and if i deep down have actually a other sexual orientation than the one that I feel comfortable identifying with. I only hear people talking about random triggers but never the REAL memory of arousal to pornography and so on.
Does it happen to you that when a person is specific in your ocd thoughts (my sister is my sister), that everything about her is a trigger for you when you see her? And the way he moves, talks, eyes, you suddenly sexualize everything, or is it just me? it really bothers me, because I constantly feel my groin, so I wonder if it's really OCD, or if it's something in me...
