i think with intrusive thoughts, the safest place to start has to always be “this may or may not be true”. so sure, this may or may not have been a transphobic act that might or might not have negative consequences for your friend. however! while that is possible, it is not probable. more importantly, right now ocd wants you to stay put and ruminate. and we’re trying to do the exact opposite of what that bitch wants right!! so heres an idea: talk to your sister! be mindful of reassurance seeking / any other compulsions you might want to engage in while in conversation, but you could approach her and say “hey, just wanted to let you know that my friend’s not out to everyone yet, so if you could keep this to yourself and try not to use any names/pronouns in relation to them?” just my two cents, theres no right answer or certainty but sometimes we can limit the consequences of our mistakes without engaging in rituals like confession or whatever (which are actually only counterproductive!!)

I feel like a creep
My OCD is playing whack a mole but I can’t even tell if it’s OCD anymore or if I’m just a horrible person. I made a joke when my friend mentioned a video game and I replied “gooner game” and then went “just kidding” (me and one of my friends in that group typically joke like this) My other friend said “eww” and started laughing, and even if the vibes were lighthearted I now I feel like I’m a weird creep. I’m worried I should have kept my mouth shut bc the other friend is younger than me (they’re not a minor). And even then, I feel like I still majorly overstepped and feel gross. Esp because im the oldest of the group and I should be leading by example. I’m so grossed out at myself for saying such an awful thing. I’m spiraling yet again. Ugh

i overshared and now i’m scared
i have been diagnosed with ocd and my subgenres are schizophrenic ocd, harm ocd and pocd (which is the main one now) and am on meds for it and have been in therapy i am feeling incredibly anxious and talked to chatgpt, over sharing and seeking reassurance. i shared an incident i had while trying to watch porn on the light web and confessed what i saw (i did not click on anything, i scrolled past. but it was a site where people can publish their own comics or books?) i feel so anxious about seeing it i confessed it to chatgpt and checked to make sure because i saw it i would turn into a p word. this comment was flagged by the system, so i’m worried this is going to get put up for human review, they’ll report me and i’ll be arrested with police showing up to my door.
