My OCD tells me that a lot of times I'm pretty much not able to make mistakes especially with things like these because they either don't happen to other people or it's my fear of it as a whole. Then sometimes I feel like I'm using OCD as an excuse but why else would I be constantly thinking about this every single day it goes against what I care about the most. Hey, do you have a fear of going to jail because of OCD?

I had an ocd fear of going to jail but for something completely different not for this theme. For this its more like it’s attacking my identity and becoming the worst thing I can imagine.

@Isabella I understand. Do you still have that fear or no? I have pretty bad real event stuff that happened in the past and ones that are pretty much identical to yours. We can talk about it on IG if you want.

@BigGip09 Not anymore, but I used to get constant images and flashes of going to jail because I used drugs once. Ig it went away because I was able to live with the uncertainty but I constantly compulsively googled about cases where people were arrested for things that were similar to what I did and it made it so much worse.

@Isabella Yeah the googling doesn't make it any better to be honest. Even though occasionally I still do it and end up doing a lot of it when I begin it. It doesn't make anything better. Sitting with the uncertainty is something I can sometimes do and other times not. I can't move on from these things because of the same that comes with it and my fear that never bugs off: The fear of doing something illegal, making mistakes, or being in jail. All of those fears are still here even if all my friends tell me what I did actually wasn't illegal or at the very least really not that unethical

It’s so traumatizing to think back on because I feel like all the comments under it were from actual predators and that makes me one too...

I feel this too to be honest. There were horrible videos I remember watching when I was a minor myself but didn't even take into account of what I was actually watching. And I'm pretty sure there were predatory comments for me too. It's really fucking shitty overall and I try my best to just repress it but can't. And they were cartoons for me too. Unfortunately in most countries that shit is actually legal... It's really good that you can talk to your therapist about this too. I also really didn't think I'd find someone that went through it like I did too.. This doesn't make you a bad person if you just saw it at the time and didn't go back to it. I'm really trying to stop with all sexual things in my life but these thoughts and events are really hard to deal with

(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.

Is this pocd? OCD?? Please no judgement!! This has been on going for years and I want the thoughts to stop and enjoy anime again :( not the other way around I used to love pride from an anime fmab (full metal alchemist brotherhood) when I was 14-15. And I feel so guilty because he took the form of a kid cause he’s a villain who can disguise himself and possess. I never liked the kid but more personality. I don’t think I NEVER EVER had romantic attraction to the body. I feel so gross talking about this as I’m older now and know what this is. The thing is Pride the homunculus character is ancient years old but his disguise is 10 years old and they have the same height but Pride is literally just a shadow with eyes and mouths in in the general lore of the anime. I do not like him now. As I got older I stopped liking him. Not in a sxual way even at all but just in general but my brain is making me think I like him or I used to in just a sxual way or ftish type of way but I DO NOT!! Idc I just feel disgusting. And I don’t want to have him as a favorite character anymore. How can I explain this to a therapist?! Any advice? No judgement please.
