Nah man I feel you, these thoughts just torment me and I really don’t want to do any of that, idk why I get them at all but I try my best to just accept uncertainty and move on, but I get random triggers and they just push and push until I legit wanna just lay down and cry and give up, but you can’t do that, ocd is very powerful and it wants to keep you fighting and arguing, but the main thing is you have to resist compulsions just accept your having these thoughts :(, I’ll pray for you, it’s a terrible time having these thoughts and ruminations and I rlly just want them to go away but it doesn’t work like that, I always have thoughts that I am a pedophile or just a weird guy when I know I really am not it’s my ocd that does and it makes me just feel distant from myself and nasty, I hate it so much

I hear you. I have had a really unhealthy relationship with pornography. When my ocd kicks in I feel like all I can do is check. Then I feel guilt about checking because I’ve looked. I hate it. I have to remember that if I wanted it I wouldn’t feel so shit about it. At least that’s what I hold on to.

I feel u as well. I used to do that but I rlly stopped using porn because of the exact way which is checking, it’s uncertain what I’m into and that’s how u handle ocd, but I know god has a plan for me and I will meet a beautiful women one day regardless or what I know, no matter how bad my ocd temptations are I will never check myself again (gay porn ) or kiss a man or anything (never done this, I have always been with women but hypothetically) , I do have bad temptations and fantasies about having sex with guys or marrying a guy sometimes and being gay which drives me crazy but to my belief it’s against the lord and against myself truly, these thoughts are just satan trying to take what you value most, he’s the man of lies and will try and make you believe anytbing especially when ocd kicks in. It’s a hard illness but I know your stronger than him and ocd, just talk to god when your feeling down man, he’s truly here with you and will help you thru anything even if your stuck in faith or have a hard time believing just ask him simply “lord how can I come closer to you and believe” I have been in the same spot but I really know we are all here for a reason and it’s because of him, I think sometimes when I have ocd it’s a sign that he’s trying to teach me something and over this last year I have learned a lot about what I’ve done and how I’ve drawn farther then ever from him and came back

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?

*tmi warning* I'm so worried im a P. Ive been crying daily unable to do anything else but ruminate over my real events. When i was 14 (before ocd) i was watching adult content and it was censored. The woman had similar features like hair and skin color as my niece. I remember noticing that and saying "huh i guess I'll imagine that as the adult version of my niece" and I did and after i was finished i moved on and didnt think anything was wrong. I dont know if i ever thought about that again? Its so blurry ocd keeps saying i did it again in a different time but i dont remember its too blurry and its scaring me so badly! I didnt even remember this till like literally last week and i wanted to die! Im 20 for context. When I remembered i immediately broke down in tears. I vaguely rmemeber this other thought i had of her when self pleasuring when I was 16??? I think it was a testing thought out of distress? But im not sure at all! It was extremely vague image and unrealistic i dont think I liked it but maybe i did?! Im so distressed its like i remmeber 2 versions of this particular event which is why I think its ocd false memories from there. Ive been ruminating and spiraling for almost a week. I keep crying i havent ate well at all in days ive been honestly dehydrating myself and i cannot sleep. I feel like a monster. I did the mistake of researching last night and kept comparing myself to the "criteria" of those sickos and like I felt so distressed. I also have been asking ai for hours on end everyday. I feel so distressed im literally crying rn as i write this i cant calm down i feel like this sick individual even tho I dont even like thinking of that at all i dont think I meant ill intent when i was a teen but its killing me inside. I would NEVER harm anyone nor want to or plan to, deep down i know I would never act out in those evil ways but like whats killing me is what if im attracted?! Is this a sign?! Am i one of those people?! Am i attracted to my niece bc of those 2 maybe even 3(??)thoughts years ago?! Did i mean ill intent?! Am I an actual danger?! Am I a monster??? I have so many urges to confess to my mom im so scared what this all means or could mean. I feel so alone and scared. Like legit whenever i get intrusive thoughts about gross stuff i feel disgusted and anxious and push it away. Those thoughts do not bring me pleasure whatsoever but this real event is making me doubt my own identity 😔
