It was just anxiety about the post girl! that is why you had a bad feeling in your stomach. this is how ERP works, just next time try not to analyze your feelings :) it will only give the ocd more power to ruminate on your thoughts. If you were attracted to said person, you would know and not have to check and be super anxious about it. Just like when I see Chris hemsworth I know I’m attracted to him Hahah i don’t have to check ? even tho I’m happily married and would never do anything about it anyway so checking wouldn’t do any good to start with!

Sometimes something similar happens to me. I find something nice and light hearted and my thought process comes up with ways of ruining the moment by either ruining the thing or questioning how I even reacted to it. It's in some way self sabotage, bc makes it hard to enjoy things. It's not you, it's your thought process trying to trying to find things wrong in completely normal scenarios over anxiety. It's like your subconcious is waiting to jump at any moment to try and associate things,but the thing is this associations are completely irrational and unbased if you think of them objectively. Physical signs also, are supet relative bc the mind controls it and the same symptom can be related to varios types of emotions. You're doing the right thing by not letting it take over. You know who you are. ♡ Those are just wild owner-less thoughts going through your head, alongside many others. Do you recommend Gilmore Girls? I have heard a little bit of it!

Thank you for your replies guys, I always appreciate comments on my posts because they help a lot. And @Baba, yes I love Gilmore Girls! I started watching it a couple months ago and I am on the last season now. It's a very funny and wholesome show in my opinion and I would definitely recommend it!

Also @hales the thing about "you would know if you were attracted" is I always overthink and go well maybe I am attracted and I get anxious because I know that's wrong or something, you know? I always find a way to twist it around unfortunately

Trying to sit with anxiety after going to the dentists office today. Saw a teenage boy there, he was probably like 14-16, and my brain was like "do you find him attractive?? Do you?? Do you?? Oh you think he's cute?? So you ARE attracted!! Are you aroused?? Are you? Are you???" Trying so hard not to over analyze but it's proving to be very difficult ?

Ooookkkkk so I’m not sure if this is POCD or not but here goes. I’ve briefly mentioned it in a post, but not in much depth. Basically, there a 12 year old character in a film that I literally LOVE. And initially it was because of his personality in the film and all that, but now I’m scared it’s about what he looks like. He’s attractive and I can’t deny that, but I’d hate to think that I only like him because he’s young. And the issue is, I get happy when I think about him or watch edits about him because he’s such a great character. I just don’t want that to be because of his appearance. Dhjssjjsjshdueiwis.

Please help (POCD)
I was watching this random tiktok on my fyp and this guy was comparing his art vs how how he looks or whatever. He is 15 and when he showed how he looked in real life I had a thought that was like 'damn that's how he looks??' and immediately after I thought 'he's 15 why would you think that' and im so anxious that's proof that im attracted to minors. I am 22 and I have never been attracted to a kid, nor have i ever considered dating or persuing a kid. Ive had POCD intrusive thoughts before but still, the pictures had his face covered and they looked like those aesthetic pinterest pictures people post, and i wasnt expecting that. I feel like vomiting but that thought felt so natural and im worried i meant it. Why would I have a thought like that?? I know we're 'not our thoughts' or whatever but that didn't feel like an intrusive thought and now I'm worried that was proof im attracted to a minor and that one of my worst fears is true. I'm also worried if I pass It off as an intrusive thought im in denial or making an excuse. Please help.
