I wish I could help!! I feel the same way about black (kinda). The color stresses me out and I have no clue why.

I’m the same actually! I can’t go near red though for slightly different reasons. I also can’t go near the number 6. I’ve tried to slowly start exposing myself to it for example I have a poster in my room with the number 6 on it and I’ve started to wear or incorporate the colour red into stuff I do for example when I draw. It’s about doing what’s right for you and making progress in your own time but you can do it!

When I was little, I was involved in a very bad car accident while wearing a purple sweat suit. For years and I mean YEARS, I wouldn’t wear anything purple, touch anything purple, look at anything purple for fear that something would happen to my family. I still have a small twinge of fear when I buy something that has purple in it, but I now realize that was just part of my worry and had nothing to do with the accident.

I’ve been feeling the urge to avoid intimacy or purposefully engage (for reassurance that I won’t give into a compulsion) because of intrusive thoughts and fear that I’ll “check/test” my reactions. My OCD is making me so scared that I’ll purposefully think of a child and try to see if I like it. It’s so complicated but I guess I’m mentally checking if I would mentally check during intimacy. I’ve even envisioned myself checking and it’s making me so nauseous. I know it’s a compulsion like any other but the sound of “touching yourself to the thought of a child” sounds atrocious and vile. I’m terrified I’ll automatically start checking next time I am being intimate. I truly feel so worried. If anyone has gone through something similar, I’d appreciate hearing your experience. Or if anyone has any advice?

Does anyone else get fixated on one “topic” with their ocd?? like for me trains and guns are mine. like i’m scared of trains and im scared to be around guns because that’s what triggers my ocd and makes me convince me that that is the way to go. i literally worry myself into thinking im going to sh*t myself when i don’t even have a gun but my ocd convinces me. idk if im explaining it good, but its a real struggle. just need some tips & advice

How the hell do I tell this to my therapist?! So like I said about shape-sifting fictional characters like Pennywise sometimes when they’re male I get attracted to them by their charm for example bob gray aka Pennywise in It. Idk if you know the IT lore but IT the creature is supposed to be female or so they say but the clown bob gray is male. Which triggers my ocd cause I don’t want to be attracted to a female character now my intrusive thoughts is like oh I can’t handle it I wish I was dead like Georgie. I may have to get rid of everything I have that deals with this movie cause it triggered a thought I thought I would never have. I haven’t even watched the movie but when everyone started talking about it again cause a new series is coming up the thought just keeps coming back😭 SOS
