Hey friend, I completely understand how distressing these obsessions are. They're disturbing and unwanted, making you believe that they must mean something. That's how OCD hooks you in. Give it an inch and it'll take a mile. I've also noticed that you've been posting almost everyday and although I'm no OCD expert, it does seem to have become a compulsion. It'll only make it worse for you. Believe me, I've been there before and it's not worth your mental and emotional energy, especially when OCD has already used up so much. Sending you lots of support. You're not alone. š± ā From one SO-OCD sufferer to another.

@Fcukocd I'm so sorry. I know and understand how torturous it is not getting help immediately when it comes to OCD. I've been there before and it's awful. Have you tried clicking on the blue lifebuoy / life ring icon on the bottom right hand corner of your screen in this app? I've tried it a few times and it does help me to either delay or sometimes stop my posting compulsions. Perhaps you could try it out and see how it goes?

@Fcukocd Yeah, of course. As long as you're not seeking reassurance.

@Fcukocd So sorry I missed this, it's been a rough day. I do get pretty graphic sexual intrusive thoughts but I tend to avoid them in my head (I know I shouldn't because ERP but it's difficult). As for the groinal response part, I don't understand. Could you elaborate?

@Fcukocd Thanks for the explanation. Tbh, I don't think I know the answer to this. IMO, this seems like a compulsion. I think it might be a good idea for you to delay and not try to figure it out since it appears to feed OCD.
