@1Cleanmind! But the intrusive thought wasn’t normal. How can I get passed this. I feel like I have to confess I just can’t

@Just Breathe ❤️ you don't have to confess anything, it's ok it came to your head and you have to allow it to leave just as it came. you don't wanna act on it or do anything, you're fine i promise!

The only way to get past intrusive thoughts is to accept that they’re happening and move on. Your nervous system is telling you that it’s unacceptable to move on from this thought, but that’s the OCD talking. Try responding to your brain “yeah, that’s a thought that I had.” The OCD won’t like that response, but your future self will thank you!

@Just Breathe ❤️ I’m so glad that you’re open to trying! Remember that there’s no way to make intrusive thoughts go away entirely, but when we do compulsions, we give the thoughts power and they grow. Resisting the urge to compulse is the best thing you can do for yourself in the long term!

Intrusive sexual thoughts are normal. Trust me. Accepting that these thoughts are occurring isn’t accepting that they will happen.

I have been struggling today, most likely due to lack of sleep. I had a thought that I would consider intrusive, but what really unsettled me was that I felt like I liked it, **not just in the sense that I lacked anxiety over it, but that I genuinely felt like I wanted it.** It left me feeling really confused. It happened during intimacy, which makes it even more unsettling. The thought was incestuous, I found myself imagining and comparing the moment with my boyfriend to my father :/, and what really alarms me is that I felt like I wanted it there, both mentally and physically. I was having a really nice time, so maybe the physical sensations got mixed in somehow, but it still worries me. I did my best not to ruminate in the moment and avoided checking. I tried to move on, but the feeling of genuinely liking the thought was so clear that it is hard to shake off. Has anyone else experienced something similar? This is one of the first times it has ever happened to this extent.

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.
