I have high high high moral expectations for myself and when I've broken any of them or percieved that I have I have self punished by degrading myself to the point of depression. It's not even something I do consciously anymore which I'm trying to correct

@MJocd I’m in the same boat with you where I struggle with things and I know I’m not the only one but in my head I can’t accept it or forgive myself

I completely resonate with that. Once I went on medication, a majority of my obsessions and compulsions went away, but the moral ones have stuck with me. Only you know your heart and your intentions...the fact that you are so worried about being a good person shows that you are a good person. And quite frankly, if watching porn made you a bad person, than most men and a lot of women would be and people, too

Thankyou❤. Moral obsessions are the hardest To let go of. We dont want to accept the uncertainty we could be bad people at our core, that's usually what keeps us fighting with the OCD. Its definately a hard one, I hope it gets better for us all x

@MJocd Exactly! Especially since it’s so hard to find a proper exposure and response for this kind of obsession

@MJocd Which obsessions do you have? What triggers you?

Yes. I beat myself up constantly whenever I make a mistake I feel could have ended up impacting someone negatively. I'm also always asking my family if they think certain choices I've made make me a bad person. It of course always ends up being me overeating or making an issue out of a non-issue, and I usually know that too but the uncertainty and chance that it might actually be an issue eats me alive. Hope you're doing better than me, wish you the best.

Again, my story's up there. I'd love some Feedback coz I acc feel like I'm going mad. I dont want reassurance saying I'm not a bad person, just some ways to cope better with the thoughts. I know its OCD because most of the worlds population consume porn and they dont ruminate like this.

Food OCD
Hey guys! So I struggle with OCD, especially harm, relationship and moral stuff and I am somewhat recovered now. However, my current girlfriend has started showing signs of OCD but it’s abou5 something I don’t know much about so I wanted to see if anyone on here had thoughts about it. She is constantly thinking about food (when to eat it, what is healthy, what is too much, what is too little) and controls the thoughts by giving in and controlling her entire day around food. She don’t really know the feeling of being full. She never starved herself and always eats, but then she feels extremely guilty afterwards. Her thoughts do have to do a lot with her body image and not gaining weight but also not losing any either. Does this sound like ocd or an eating disorder?

Religion related thoughts
I don't really know if it's OCD, but lately I've been thinking a lot and in a very obsessive way that every single one of my actions, words or even thoughts will affect on how God will make decisions about my life. For example, if I lie to someone or yell at them out of anger, God will make happen something bad to me as a "punishment". I know it might seem silly, but it really really freaks me out sometimes... Does anyone feel the same? And if so, do you do something in particular to feel better? Thanks for your understanding❤️

Moral Scrupulosity
When OCD latches onto your morals, it can make you question whether you're a good person, even over small things. Have you ever felt overwhelming guilt over something others would brush off?
