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.

Sometimes i think everyone on the right is evil. I ask myself “how can i love people with values different than mine?” I struggle accepting the fact my parents political beliefs are different than mine. I love them so much but it baffles me. We have talked and they say its fine to have different opinions but i can’t help but wonder if i’m doing something wrong by having my beliefs. And then with all the economic chaos today in the US, I can’t help but think that I was right about everything and I just feel like it is my fault that the world is in turmoil. Idk. I think i wish i could stop thinking about it but ever since the election cycle began around a year ago it has been dominating my life. I question myself, i question others, i appear very extremist and rigid and i don’t like it. I want my OCD to go away. Its apparently OCD but it feels so real right now. Can anyone relate? What are yalls thoughts on this subtype?

I know I have OCD, but is this a part of moral ocd? I have a huge thing about recycling. I feel guilty if I can't. (Ie, there's an item with food that cant be cleaned out since you have to rinse food off of stuff for it to be recycled). I've genuinely cried over having been given plastic bags instead of purely using reuseable bags. Another time I cried about not having the option to recycle things that were clearly recyclable while I was in the mental hospital. It was a tough week. Everything I have has to be sustainable. My toothpaste, shower soaps, hand soaps, detergent, and everything else has to be recyclable or I'll get upset about it. My toothbrushes are bamboo. Plastic irks me so badly. I want to help the planet and reduce waste. It feels right! But is that ocd? Or am I just weird about recycling? I just feel like a bad person if I can't recycle properly.

Right now I’m obsessing about the meaning of the world evil, and if anyone really is truly “evil”. It started when I was thinking about Judas from the Bible and how I don’t think he is really evil, but a flawed person with flawed thinking that made him make a decision he thought would be for the best. There are tons of people who would call Judas outright evil but is that really the case? Then there’s the case of if anyone is really evil in the first place. Take the most heinous act you can think of, there must be some underlying problem that is making this person do what they do. The action itself is evil but is the person also “evil” as a result or just really flawed. My ocd is trying to make me think I’m defending these people or actions by saying all this, but I know that’s not the case. I’m not sure if my ocd is making me think about this in the first place though. I definitely overthink a lot and it ends up with me thinking about all these philosophical ideas, but maybe that’s just who I am and not a result of ocd. Sometimes my ocd really makes me feel the need to find an answer, which is really hard to do with topics like these, so I suspect it plays some role.
