I used to have sexually intrusive thoughts growing up especially ones regarding incest. I am a 23 year old female, I’ve had thoughts about pretty much everyone in my family. Hell, I have had many sexually intrusive thoughts about everyone. It has made me pretty uncomfortable but more recently due to triggering events it has morphed into POCD and that is what caused me to seek out treatment. I have genuinely convinced myself I am a sex depraved monster. I have become an anxious ridden mess and the depression is intense. You’re not alone at all. Sending lots of love.
yes! for me the incest obsessions are more romantic based than sexual based but still scary. just know you’re not alone ❤️
I’ve had the same thing! In my dreams especially!
You’re not alone hun
My mom has always hated me, legitimately and I had never known why. In my adulthood when I learned about incest(I didn’t know about it as a child because I was very sheltered in my ultra conservative Christian home) I started to wonder if my mom hated me because she feared that my dad preferred me to her. Then I started having the OCD intrusive thoughts. It’s awful. I wish I never had them. I love my dad but now I can’t even hug him the same. If my family ever knew about this I fear I would never be able to talk to them again.
You should try to talk to a therapist about it
@Anonymous I did! I realized they meant nothing about me about a year ago, thank goodness
@kendallope Great! It’s good to know that. I feel your pain though and I wish you wellness
I have had so many thoughts since the 2 years i have had OCD- my intrusive thoughts are basically on the same subject and i hate myself so much for this. But love and support to all those who are constantly fighting 💓
so I’ve been seeking therapy for my OCD for a few years. The theme that I’ve been dealing with most recently is the fear of becoming a pedophile, which then has led to intrusive images of me doing things to kids.Which now is just causing me so much distress and 24/7 constant thought cycle. I am starting to not be able to tell the difference between thoughts that are wanted/ unwanted- the line has become some blurry and these things are starting to feel like someothing i want to do. My brain keeps telling me to just test these thoughts and the “maybe”or”i don’t know” isn’t working. This has become such a barrier because the second layer is that I’m afraid that if I just let the thoughts be there it’ll make me be OK with doing those things and the fear is what’s keeping me from actually doing something inappropriate. It’s also transitioned into intrusive thoughts and images of me doing something very disgusting to my dog and that when I’m cuddling with him I get the thoughts to just do it or try it to see if i am actually a p*do. it’s almost like the compulsion would be to do the inappropriate thing, even though I know it’s wrong just to see how it would make me feel. I feel like i can’t control these urges even though i’ve never acted on it. At any point i could just do it. I’ve never had these thoughts before up until about a year and a half ago when my friend‘s boyfriend got arrested for soliciting a minor then all these thoughts came to life.Has anyone experienced something like this and have any advice?
agh .. okay .. i’m so so embarrassed to post this, i’m literally crying .. but i need some help and advice. or maybe just a place to vent. i don’t know yet. so .. i was hanging out with three of my cousins today, and a few friends. one of my cousins was driving us around, and it was a pretty long drive, and we all just chatted, had fun, you know, normal teenager shit. but i couldn’t help but shift my focus onto certain things about my cousin driving — “wow, he’s going so fast, he’s so cool,” “i like the way his hands are gripping the wheel. wow his hands. hands hands hands” “his happy trail looks nice” (we went swimming) “i feel jealous of his girlfriend” and all sorts of things. i just feel. so awful. i don’t want these thoughts at all, and i feel just horrible. my ocd mixed with hypersexuality from trauma is just not helping at all, and i just want to get rid of these thoughts. i feel so disgusted with myself, and i’m scared that even though intrusive thoughts are normal, maybe mine are too far and i’m just “unfixable” or “broken.” any advice on what i could do? :( edit: i would like to add that we’re not even blood cousins, since we’re “related” through my step dad, which makes these thoughts worse and makes my head go, “oh, well, it’s okay!!” aghh. so frustrating :(
Have you ever tested yourself by s€x stimulating physically yourself to those thoughts? I did and then it seemed to me that I could continue, and if I didn't, and now it comes back to me as something that I could do, I never once felt that it was repulsive to me... and that paralyzes me... i have incst ocd...thanks and sorry for being so direct...
