I feel the same way. Being on medication for ocd kind of makes my remination worse. Since it lowers anxiety. I don’t get as much anxiety when I think about the thoughts and it scares me. But I get a little anxiety about those words as well!

Keep doing the exposures and keep accepting the uncertainty behind it. Do the exposures so much so that you get bored of it at a point, and you’ll come to a point where these thoughts don’t even bother you as much. I experienced the same thing, gotta fake it till you make it! Tell the OCD that maybe you are one (trust me Ik how hard that is to say) but keep on doing these exposures and saying these things to the OCD. Soon enough you will see that it doesn’t even affect you as much. My therapist had said that there’s also ERP for feeling guilt. So ask your therapists about that as well as they will know much better than me. Best of luck! Y’all got this❤️

I feel that way at times. I’ve been pretty good lately. Meaning I haven’t cried or been in distress or suicidal about my thoughts but I wake up with worries about the future and possible triggers/urges. Since I’m relatively calm I try not to question it and just go on with my day. One day at a time. I do believe I am depressed tho. I don’t feel it like I did before, for me now it’s a lot of procrastination and just not being motivated. I’m not motivated to even do my erp anymore. I feel like it’s not geared towards what my thoughts are now which is future situations and such, idk.

Yes! Create a script around it. Say the word “Pedo” in different ways and voices until it becomes less scary for you. Like @Anonymous says “fake it ‘till you make it.” Move forward with your values. Face the thoughts and the words that scare you, and trigger you. You can do the hard things.

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 had same Sex fantasies, sought that out in 🌽 before I knew what sexuality was, it’s related to a specific fetish and I used to talk to strangers online including men and I’m scared now what all of this means, I have HOCD, POCD, all sorts of thoughts but I don’t know if it’s my thoughts or my past which is reality. Why did I have those thoughts as a young boy? Why why why? Who am I? Do I even have OCD? What monster am I? I just want to end it all sometimes in all honesty. Not really but sure feels like it. I’m dying inside .

Lately my OCD has been very horrible, it’s been more convincing than ever to the point where I’m genuinely convinced that I like this stuff, when I get a thought, I’ll hear my intrusive thoughts go “oooh, I like that, I’d do that.” and I just don’t freak out nor feel bad, I just feel like I like it even more, and feel like I would do/act on it and like it, and the feeling is strong and it lingers forever? It genuinely feels like I do, and I’m just lying now, i can’t tell if I make these thoughts worse or anything All I remember mostly just being like confused sometimes when these thoughts happen, but since I’m getting strong emotions that I like it, my brain says that means I did and I’m worried about that being true because I don’t understand nor know It’s like I am resisting to like this stuff now, it’s even tougher now than it was before
