Good news, you have ocd and this is why the intrusive thoughts are so scary, good news you're not your thoughts and it's why they bother you, don't feel ashamed, you didn't create ocd, it's not your fault, seek therapy, see this opportunity as a way to get closer to God as it has been for me, there's lots of good changes in my life I've done because of the ocd experience and I've gotten closer to God as a result and even though some days are bad, the good days out do the bad ones. God bless you, He loves you so much and He's always with you.

me too- but it has forced me to become stronger, more determined and intellectual with my surroundings; there is good that comes out of it... it's difficult to find. You are so loved no matter what you have done, what you have been through or who you are- Christ loves you so much he died for you, my friend :)

It's a shithole I'm stuck into! Always, always I'm forced to have these thoughts, violence, rape, torture and so on. And I talk to myself constantly so I end up being afraid that someone could hear me when I say my horrible thoughts outloud and want to hurt me or the people I care about (I never have those compulsions toward people I don't like, it's always about people I care about - or it can also be toward people I fear).

I deal pretty heavily with this. The last couple days, I’ve had what I think are urges. Something pops into my head intrusively and then what stems from that is me WANTING to just indulge in it even though it’s gross. I get worried bc I used to struggle w thoughts about my dad for a long time until eventually I just purposely thought of him while self pleasuring and got off to it. While that’s something I did, it is NOT me. It all stemmed from my mental health declining a couple years back, I was never this way before. So I get worried that it almost happened or might happen with my pocd cuz I could never live with myself if it did.

I wanted to ask if it is possible to purposely think of an intrusive thought and then shifting your mind instantly to something else? Is it still an intrusive thought if you have been thinking of it 'purposely' for a second? I dont know how else to explain it, but it felt like I was purposely thinking of it. Anyone else had similar experience what happened during intimate moments like masturbation I feel so ashamed cuz the thoughts are so bad they're either about family members children and stuff like that it feels like I think it I just want to know if I'm not alone I feel like a monster because it feels like I thought these things or like I did think these things and I don't know what to do I feel so ashamed and grossed I need help I just want to know if anyone had a similar experience to shed light on because I don't know I feel so isolated

I’ve struggled with necrophilic intrusive thoughts for a while. Every time I hear that someone passed, especially if it’s someone I know, my brain will be like “you want to r*** their dead body”. It’s really disturbing and makes me feel horrible. I feel like I need to tell everyone so they know the “real” me and I fear they wouldn’t like me anymore. A friend of mine, her friend passed away recently and I got the same thought about her. I want to confess to her but I know I can’t. Does anyone relate?
