i’m so sorry you had to go through all of that, i did too and it’s really hard when your mum doesn’t believe you...i can really empathise with that too. with abuse it’s really common to feel the way you are feeling now but i promise you no, you are not too sensitive - if it feels/felt bad, it WAS bad (please try and remember that if you can!) what you are describing is very similar to how i feel but i can promise you now, you are not being dramatic. is there anyone such as a therapist you can talk to about it? it’s really important to be able to address it and talk about it. you have every right to talk about it and you shoukd in no way have to hide it and suppress it. i’m always here if you’d like to talk about it.

God is never mad at you. Period. Full stop. God loves you with his entire ENTIREEE heart. It hurts him to see you in pain, but he only lets you experience the pain because he wants you to run to him. Run to the father! The lies you are hearing are fully from the devil. The devil is having the time of his life when he even enflicts the slightest discomfort into your life.. so to see what he’s done.. to see he’s gotten into your head.. he’s having a mega party!! He’s like “oh heck yeaaa success!!! Woop woop!” DONT LET HIM PARTY!! RUN TO THE FATHER. God can’t get mad at you, and it’s NEVER EVER too late to go to him

I understand that a lot, I have small, precise and clear memories of a lot of my trauma but it's always stuff around the edges like remembering an exact sensation or the way the room looked or the weather, but the actual traumatic content is fuzzy and confusing. It's actually led me to doubt a lot that's happened, AND has made it a lot harder to cope with actual false memory other OCDs which started with a scary idea that something happened but were fuzzy. It's a horrible feeling to not be able to rely on your brain. I've also had the exact EXACT same thoughts that I'm being overdramatic and making it worse than it is and it's my problem to get over, was probably half my fault anyway etc. The guilt is horrible, mine wasn't that God didn't want me to talk about it, it was that I believe the abuser is a nice person and therefore it's a HORRIBLE thing to do to talk about it. I've lived with horrible churning regret for ever talking about it...... Yet that's SO unfair on me. I'm not responsible for making sure their life is good whatsoever, they've sure never shown me that courtesy, but the feeling that you're basically making it up that it was at all bad and you must be a selfish vindictive person is just the worst thing I've ever felt. When somebody accused me of making it up because the abuser 'is such a nice person' it was a whole new trauma in itself, one of the worst things I've ever experienced, it just seemed to confirm all my fears, I felt like the worst person ever even though I knew what had happened because the self doubt and self blame and guilt were so extremely strong. I've actually never really heard anyone else describe the same experience (but I've heard that it's common) so I'm really happy to have read this and you're definitely not alone. Try to hang in there and get trauma therapy ASAP, that's what I really wish I had done a long time ago but I'm only just getting it now and been expressing the exact same stuff with my therapist and it's really painful but I think it will help in the long run. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Honestly I really fucked myself a lot by forcing myself to remember it all the time to try to prove the guilt feelings wrong- definitely try not to do that. It's really tempting to want to and try to fill in the blanks and reassure yourself and get confidence, but for me it's only ever made it worse. I only started having any flashbacks after I started doing that and I wasn't equipped to deal with it at all.

Being exposed to taboo p*rn as young as first grade ruined my life and now ocd is making me pay for it. I have so much guilt for being a child/teen and looking at taboo stuff, and it was all fictional or anime or whatever but it was still so so gross. and I didn't realize It because I had been used to it at so young 🫠 I think what haunts me most is when I was a kid/young teen (like 12-14ish) and didn't have access to p*rn I'd imagine stuff similar to what I'd seen in the art. I can't even believe I'd imagine scenarios involving kid characters or whatever because it had been so normalized to me and I assumed it was normal since it was fiction. I'm 23 now so it's been a decade since I've done anything like that and I've never had the urge to since but still. I've NEVER been attracted to kids or had any urges or anything ever, even when I was addicted. The thought makes me want to vomit, I'd rather die than associate anything sexual with kids/minors and I think people who groom or assault kids are vile. But I still feel like the fact that I imagined stuff similar to the things I read sometimes when I was young is proof I'm a p*do. I don't think people would believe me if I said I'm not. I just feel like I don't deserve to live or that if I do, I'm living a lie. I know 'I was a kid too' but even when I was 13/14 I read/imagined stuff with characters younger than me because I thought it was normal. I'm so disgusted. I've had this theme for so long I'm starting to wonder if ocd is right. I feel too ashamed to tell my therapist.

(20f) I have been dealing with severe OCD symptoms for as long as I can remember. I recently got diagnosed about a year ago, and even though I know that these thoughts are probably my ocd, I still cant shake them. Growing up I was always very sexually curious. I was sheltered from a lot of things, as I went to a private school and things like sexuality and sex were never talked about. I remember doing some weird sexual things growing up (never affecting another person), looking up taboo sexual things, etc. I always seemed to become aroused no matter what the situation was, even if I just saw someone getting changed. I have no recollection of being SA'd, so i'm wondering where this all came from? Was I just curious and wanted to experiment and try different things? Or am I really a pervert, pedophile, etc. I have all these thoughts racing through my head and it's killing me. Everything I did as a kid I look back on and am disgusted, as those don't align with my views at all today. I never thought growing up thinking these things were wrong, or actually realize what they were until I got older. I'd like to think it was just my curiosity, but i'm not sure. What if i'm in denial and actually do like these things? I just need to know if theres something wrong w me, I cant keep going on like this. Could really use some advice.

Hello 😭, so uhm I’m kind of in the point of my POCD where I’m just tired. I just need to get it all out and get some sort of instruction of how to just idk live? So for me my childhood is pretty blurry. I have a few real event blended with false memory events there but other than that I’m a csa victim. And the way I tried to cope? By fetishising nyself, making CP of myself, seeing my life goal as being used, raped and a prostitue. Self destructive behaviour through talking to pedophiles and seeing my only worth as if I was sexually attractive. Which made me kind of numb to CP as a coping mechanism I guess. And heres’s where my main event of REOCD/false memory ocd comes in. I have a few events in my life when I’ve accidentally stumbled across CP ish mangas or just plan abuse and not had a big reaction. Some of them I even liked the story. And my ocd LOVES playing with it, making me truly believe I enjoy and get of from CP. I’ve also had quite a few dreams. A few days ago I had a dream about me getting triggered by something I did in the dream. Which I now can’t figure out if it actually was a dream. But also moments overall where I’ve unintentionally touched my private part while my siblings are in the room or when I found a guy 2 years younger than me pretty in 4th grade. Or a few of my only friends who turned out to be younger than me, and I had talked about sexual things (like fan fictions, my trauma ect) with them. AHSHB I absolutely hate ruminating and I’m tired so so so so so so tried 😭 idk help me? Please TT
