What has helped me with these OCD thoughts is thinking “this never was a problem for me a month or a year ago. Now it’s a problem, why? Because I thought about it? I think about winning the lottery all the time and it never happens. Why would I now want to do the thing that I am obsessing about?”

yeah you’re right i kind of remind my self about this too but it kinda triggers me at the same time cause it’s like “why was i ever okay with this?” like i’m trying to remind my self that morals change and i’m not okay with this stuff now but it’s just haunting me that 1. i did this in the past and 2. why did i ever think this was okay

If you’re willing to lean into the anxiety you can say “maybe it will, maybe it won’t” oh well, going to continue doing x (insert activity here). Then, you can avoid compulsions by just simply breathing into the mind and telling your brain you’re not going to worry about this now, just focusing on the breath at the moment. Let it consume you and pass. Repeat

I think you were just curious as a child I’m sure we all were, but I know the ocd won’t let you believe that I know how hard it is it’s so convincing ): I remember as a child I had to shower with my parents and I would look and be curious about their bodies and sometimes peak but as kids we don’t know any better and it’s all new to us it would only be a problem if we did this now. I have the same thoughts, do you let your bf know? You don’t have to ofc, but I recently told mine and he’s been a huge help. I feel worse bc I actually create scenarios of me and my mom having s*x and get a groinal response from it and I can’t stop like just hearing her voice now makes me create these images it must mean I like it or something even tho I never liked her before ? I wish I could stop its my compulsion now to check to see if I like it

Is it okay to ask what kind of thoughts or images you have? Like I said earlier I have the same thing but no one understands ): just know that it’s ocd and not actually you because things like this don’t just happen all of a sudden and if it really distresses you it’s not true I keep telling myself that

im so sorry i didn’t respond to ur other post! in the past, i was a super curious child and watched my mom get a vaginal exam when i was like 4/5 i can’t remember. and i remember later on, being aroused by it. ocd is trying to tell me i masturbated to it but i can’t exactly remember if i did or not. and then when i was 17, i sat outside my mom’s exam room at the doctors office and for some reason imagined her getting a vaginal exam done. and i can’t remember how old i was maybe 12, but as a child, after my mom gave me a bikini wax, i had thoughts about her touching me in my private area. all these real events have fueled my incest ocd and are trying to convince me that i’m sexually attracted to my mom. rationally, i know that ur body reacts to a sexual stimulus regardless of ur morals. back then, i didn’t think it was a big deal and i was okay with it. now it’s completely taking over me and i keep asking my self why i ever thought that was okay. im not attracted to my mom, i simply reacted to a sexual stimulus. i know that if i was actually into incest, i wouldn’t be worried about it or obsessing about it but my mind latches onto the fact that i DID do this in the past you know? there’s just so much regret, shame, and disgust. the specific thoughts are “what if i want to commit incest? what if this takes over my life? what if this consumes me to the point where it affects my relationship with my boyfriend? what if this becomes an insatiable desire that can only be soothed by committing incest” god even typing that out made me feel uncomfortable. also, i feel more disgust, shame, and regret rather than anxiety because this is something that actually happened
