TMI/TW for mention of masturbation . . . Just did some intense exposure therapy. I pleased myself and didn’t let the thoughts and images stop me. My anxiety is skyrocketing. I feel like I did something wrong. Trying to reclaim my life by not letting my intrusive thoughts stop me, but it can be so hard and shameful. I want to be able to be sexually intimate with people, and this is the first step towards that. Anyone who can relate?

Sure. We’re all equal in our suffering

@Jayges I see you deal with POCD like me and I've had the same issue. Maybe not as severe as you, who knows? But you're doing the right, difficult thing. It takes courage ☺.

@Ben84 Thank you. POCD is the worst, but we’re fighting it ❤️

@CatPerson9 I'm so sorry that happened ?.

@CatPerson9 I hope there's an opportunity for reconciliation at some point. I admire your empathy ☺.

@CatPerson9 I'm here ☺.

@CatPerson9 It may have been the thread with Andrew. I responded to his post. It's possible that he's the one who blocked you, but it shows up as me. This has happened to me before too.

@CatPerson9 That's what happened then. You blocked him. I commented on the thread and it says you blocked me, but the user it's referring to is actually him. No worries. You have to protect your mental health too ☺.

@CatPerson9 I'm not sure. You could contact Support Chat.
