Anyone who suffers from intrusive sex thoughts available to talk? I was getting better, but I’m really struggling right now. :(

It’s only anxiety ,, it’s your imagination fueled by adrenaline and because you are given it the attention it does not deserve you are believing your fears ,,,,, you are trying to use logic and problem solving like you do in the outside world ,,, it helps in the outside world but your problems ( imagined problems ) are internal so you can’t switch off your fear using the same tactic ,,,,, accept and realy laff at your thoughts because it’s all false it’s all a con ,,, it’s over reactive fear linked to intelligent imagination ,,,, I will tell you that all anxiety sufferers are very imaginative and intelligent people ,, that is no coincidence that is a fact ,,, so turn the tide and start accepting it and say to yourself bloody hell am amazing. How imaginative I am ,,,, look at science fiction writers ,, the only difference is there not scared of there thoughts they ignore them or accept them ,,,, it’s not the thoughts that’s the problem it’s your reaction to them ,, your normal people and you will all be fine just learn to use your imagination to good use

Ok try not to give any thought to your thoughts if that makes sense ,, it’s only anxiety ,, does not matter what it is ( your thought process ) ocd or what ever the anxiety disorder it’s all the same anxiety ,,,,,, every person who suffers from anxiety has diffrent fears or thought patterns eg sexual pervsion / violent or what ever it does not matter it’s only your intilgent mind testing you or the exact reason is the mind is doing a risk assement on things you fear ,, that’s all it is ,, you mind is stuck in fear mode so your thought patterns will be imagined and related to anything you fear ,,,,, this is what anxiety does ,, because anxiety fear is ment to respond to actual threat for some reason normally trauma your fear response has been triggered ,,, your though process know will be linked to how imaginative you can be which in turn will scare you to think your going crazy or sick or perverted , what your realy doing is asking for reassurance that your not any of those things ,,, your mind then getting you to think it so you will react to prove to yourself you ain’t that person ,,,, see because your mind can’t find any threat it will make up its own and you are believing it because you are stuck in fear mode ,, it’s chemical reaction from fear it’s only adrenaline,, cortisol infact ,,, this is the problem for all anxiety sufferers ,,,, does not matter what it is or fears or thoughts ,, it’s all anxiety ,, there is nothing actually wrong with you only that your scared of your own imagination , that’s it ,,, so practice accepting the thoughts or make the thoughts more and more in the end your brain will not fear it ,, anxiety’s one time switches off , you go back to normal ,,, don’t give it a second thought it’s all false alarms thinking from pain in the arse anxiety ?

I can talk also! I suffer a lot from this. I can’t do anything with my boyfriend without thinking of a woman or doing the act with a woman and it scares the crap out of me

I wanna know how people deal with these thoughts when they come up in the worse moments like when you’re masturbating or having sex. There’s a specialist on this type of OCD, Chrissie Hodges, who often talks about it in her videos on YouTube. She says it’s perfectly normal, specially being moments when you’re mostly vulnerable, which is very appropriate for OCD to come up and “attack you”. But this is so hard to deal with. I’m feeling like the worst person in the world... just wanted to know how people deal with it.

i am here to talk about it if you need

I don’t have much helpful to offer but only to say I have the same issue and it’s all about accepting the thought as just a thought. A lot harder than it sounds of course!

I completely understand. Feeling like your just the worst person in the world for having these thoughts that come into your head? It’s the worst. Everytime one of those thoughts pop into my head I repeat to myself “a thought is just a thought, my brain is just a powerful suggestion device” and I imagine those thoughts like a dark cloud and picture them moving away from me. I am here to talk if you need it.
