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

I feel like a really terrible person right now, I keep replaying this, and no matter what I can’t remember what happened, it’s like my brain is purposely not letting me think about it. Without wasting any more time, I’ll get into it. Basically, I was at Walmart, and looking at cards with My Dad, I saw anime ones, took pictures of them for my sister, even ones that were anime kids, because I did my best to ignore it, so I looked at a Hunter x Hunter card, I stared at the black haired kid, being all like “ I’m glad I’m not having any thoughts about this, I’m glad I’m having normal thoughts and not thinking anything” I felt happy, then as soon as I looked at killua (white haired kid), everything collapsed. I don’t know what happened, my brain won’t let me remember. But I’ll give bits and pieces. I think that I had false attraction, and something in my head, said “oh, I wouldn’t mind being attracted.” “He is attractive, and I’m attracted to him.” “I remember a girl thinking he is attractive and he is” “ It’s not wrong to be attracted” “ I don’t care about his age” .. something along the lines of that, and now I’m panicking super hard, because I’m worried if I said those things, I feel like I ruined my life that I’m a pe//do and deserve nothing, idk what to do, I feel terrible… I remember when I was having the intrusive thoughts, I was panicking and was worrying, but it kept playing out, and I kept hearing things talk, it was drawn out too long, that now I feel convinced that I was saying those things, I tested it too, and I can confirm that I didn’t say that, but why am I still not convinced? I know I wouldn’t say those things, I was hoping the complete opposite would happen. My brain kept making me feel like it wasn’t wrong and it was okay. Maybe that’s why I’m so convinced I did that. I’m just spiraling super bad right now, I don’t know what to do or what to think, I don’t know if I said that or not… even if I did test it, I genuinely just feel like I said it, and I wanted it, because I still feel uncertain, I still feel like I said it, part of me just wants to be like oh I did and so I can move on, not because I agree with it, I just don’t know what else to do… I’m really scared.

Does anyone else when they have the thoughts, they feel against it, but they still get arousal or tenglings sensations in the groinal area? Because this is what I experienced today and I feel like crap. This is going to be very triggering for a lot of you, but there are a lot of times that I notice things from kids. For example, there is a thirteen year old kid who looks very developed for her age, and I take notice of (and this already sounds creepy to me) her chest. Today with my thoughts, I imagined as if I were touching it, and although I usually "no no or "I don't want to do that", she is a kid, etc., I still get responses in my groinal area, and It felt very real. Even now, I feel as though I am faking it, even though I groan 😮💨 from it, and feel as though I am a fraud. Does anyone relate?
