I have that all the time. I feel you, and I stand with you. We both have OCD. This sounds pretty typical of it. Message me if you want to talk :)

All the time I did something that was basically a crime, I let my dog lick me down below as an adult, it started as a child, I guess I was re enacting childhood, god knows But I cant change what I did. I just know its it's something i am disgusted in and would never do again I do get scared to talk to a therapist but I've spoke to a doctor etc about it and I've never been reported. IIf its it's something you aren't currently acting on then I dont think they can report it as you aren't harming anyone or wanting to harm anyone And what you did was as a child

I'm pretty sure we all do things we are not proud of But as long as you aren't doing anything now or wanting to harm anyone we need to learn to let go, I'm still struggling alot some days but I cant change what I did

I'm suprised you didnt react to my comment ha Yeah this can happen, I sometimes wonder if I made my scenario up, like I remember a part of it but I cant remember days, times where exactly it happened and I always think when I look back like I wouldnt have just done this like what made me do that and think it was normal. Maybe its denial but I do question if my mind made it up or if it actually did happen and I just wish it didnt.

I think the issue with me is intense fear about if I would ever do it again and the uncertainty. One time I was on a guys trip about a year into my relationship and had a little too much to drink. we were at a bar and two girls were talking to us, one was talking to me in particular, told her I had a gf, she tried to give me her phone number, I didn’t take it, told her I was happy with my relationship, etc; the bar closed and us guys went back to the house and we invited them back. I was doing my best to maintain distance, I felt myself starting to get tired and brown out from drinking so I went in the bedroom to get into my boxers, that chick came in and I was telling her I had to go to bed and say bye without being too rude, have her a hug goodbye and she leaned in and kissed me or tried to kiss me. I flipped out about it and my buddy’s and I kicked them out and I went to sleep. The next day anxiety through the roof, couldn’t remember the night 100% so my head was spinning, felt like a criminal. Became paranoid the cops were going to arrest me. Then it just grew. Starting thinking about every bad thing I’ve ever done that never used to be an issue but now it was... now whenever I talk to the opposit sex I get intrusive sexual thoughts, mentally review conversations to make sure I didn’t say anything to make them think I was attracted to them, worry that they may run into my wife someday and say I’m a bad person for flirting, even though I wasn’t, etc... I told my now wife about the incident the day after it happened and she was pissed a little bit. But ultimately forgave me and didn’t care, but I still obsessed about it. The feeling that I’m a bad terrible person felt and still feels real and has really shrunk my life down in a bad way

Everything feels so real. I think learning about non-offending pedophiles has really screwed with me. I feel like I’m not even doing compulsions anymore like I genuinely cannot remember if I do them or not and the groinal responses are messing with me. I keep having intrusive dreams and I’m in that half asleep state and I feel nothing after that or I feel weird like a good weird, I don’t know. It’s a really weird feeling when I get those thoughts but I don’t like them, I don’t think. All I know is, I keep seeking reassurance and I feel like I don’t have OCD because the way I feel, like the way I get worked up isn’t the same as others. Whenever I try to watch a show, like 9-1-1 or daily dose of sunshine, I feel like I’m watching something I shouldn’t be. Or if I’m just on my phone, I feel like something is going to happen. I feel red flags whenever I’m on my phone, like somehow cp will appear. I know that OCD is the doubting disorder but my god, this is just crazy. I feel like I’m going crazy. Everything is just nonstop, it’s so constant and I’m genuinely scared that I’ll do something when I get out of my room. I don’t know anymore, this whole OCD thing is just making me lose my mind.

I remembered something I did a couple of months ago that has changed me completely from trusting myself it was a conversation I had with my cousin and something they said unrelated made me remember this happening, I went into a full blown identity crisis i couldn’t walk out of my room or get out of my bed for months paranoid and scared of everything I’m still scared and feel like I don’t even deserve to shower I’m working on it slowly each day but I knew I had to get a therapist and I was diagnosed with ocd because of this event I remembered, and I just don’t know what to do…. I read online that it doesn’t matter how little or bad the event is it’s still ocd regardless when diagnosed but I know I have a compulsion to see others real events and it is nothing compared to mine which I shouldn’t compare but it’s difficult because no matter what I have to come to terms that it’s undeniably bad legally and morally what I did and it’s just so confusing how it’s something I JUST learned about months ago I’m literally in my mid 20s, and I went years without even realizing how troubled my childhood was and yes my real event happened during that time but I was still a teen and old enough to know better but I didn’t understand the magnitude of what I did at the time still no excuse though, this is where I don’t know what To do because 1. I already know what I did was awful and there’s no excuse for it 2. I can’t apologize in my situation that I don’t feel comfortable sharing specifics yet3. Yes I know I changed so much obviously I’m a grown adult now I know what’s appropriate and what’s not that’s why I’m so troubled over this and I never did anything like that again, I’m literally in the happiest relationship and seeing a therapist to also help me understand all this trauma, this event involved my cousin but even they are cool with me and very close as well hasn’t said anything I don’t know if they remember or not but it’s not something I can talk about with them at least not yet (again just don’t want to go in to specifics) but this is why is so confusing and has caused me to have intrusive thoughts about everything EVERYTHING the what ifs what if they remember what if I go to jail what if they hate me what if I’m denying who I have been and I’m this horrible person this whole time without even realizing and everything is a lie my relationship my joy for things what if I’m a ped, what if I can’t love or care what if I’m a person who just harms others manipulates I even spiraled thinking I was going to physically harm someone… it’s very bizarre to me because before my OCD my biggest anxiety was just having to learn how to drive…I’m in my 20s just to mention that again😭 I have probably almost all intrusive ocd categories, These thoughts never existed in my head until I remembered my event it has completely traumatized me but do I even deserve to feel better do I deserve to get help if I did something unforgivable do I move on or don’t? Should I even be living life I just feel guilty even breathing stepping outside I know for a fact if people knew they would never trust me they would feel like I probably should go to jail but do I go on to what others feel or myself? I know I wouldn’t harm anyone regardless of what my ocd tells me I never did anything like that again and wouldn’t but if it’s something that even legally I could be punished for does all of that not matter? I’m sorry I’m just trying to figure out what the right thing to do is , I’m continuing therapy and getting the help but obviously my therapist cannot say if I should be punished legally but even my boyfriend said that if I turned myself in they wouldn’t even take me seriously because I don’t even remember everything fully it was so long ago, but from what I do remember it’s still bad enough mainly just of me being a teen, I don’t want to make that event my identity but I just am so freaked out I feel awful what if I caused trauma to another person and all these years I didn’t even know, this event only happened once that I remember, there were things that happened to me as a child that would explain why it happened but it’s still not an excuse, I did a compulsion and googled what would it be called or the charges for it and the words that popped up triggered me to my core as anyone would feel if they were as stupid as me those words I googled are what monsters are so it’s hard not to think of myself as that it’s hard to not make that my identity if that IS what happened, is living with this guilt my punishment?I don’t want to give up on life I want to love and care and just love life I know this is complicated and a lot not much I can do but I’m just so lost.

Hi there I talk about religion (but I'm not trying to force it down anyone's throat) So my main event (which is the one that truly bothers me) happened in 2015 when I was 14. I won't go into any details or anything. I will say that it got so bad once that I almost committed something detrimental to my health earlier this year. Not long after that I spoke to a doctor and basically confessed what's been happening to my brain and my mistakes, he mentioned things that really resonated with me, I'll paraphrase a bit: "Okay, so what you did was not good but it's not something to condemn yourself for. It falls into the grey area, you've apologized and have been forgiven (even though I apologized over text, which comes across cowardly)but it seems that you haven't forgiven yourself. There's a whole lot of difference between you at 14 and you at 23. Try to have some perspective." This really helped and it still does, but unfortunately ocd tries to find a way around this. I'll get a thought of "oh but you forgot to mention that other part of the event" and it magnifies it. Can anyone relate? I've done everything but fully move on because I sometimes feel like I don't deserve to move on. And I'm still worried over the future.
