You did not rape her! I get intrusive thoughts about my pets & I am super passionate about them all!! OCD just targets what you love most.

I love her more than anything. This isn’t the first time this has happened and you’d think I’d know by now it wouldn’t help but I guess I was so desperate to be rid of the anxiety. I love her more than anything she is my best friend and I don’t know if I’d even still be here without her

You did not rape her! I've had intrusive thoughts that made me question shit and gave me extremely high anxiety, and I had to do strange stuff that made me feel like the anxiety would go away by doing it, but it didn't and just got worse! You did something because you love your dog very much, and you wanted to relieve the anxiety that the intrusive thought gave you. You DID NOT rape her. You weren't sexually attracted to your dog, and you didn't do to satisfy a sexual thought, so absolutely don't feel like you did! OCD fucking sucks and attacks everything that you love, and it tries to put intrusive thoughts in your head that makes you think by doing your OCD, that the anxiety goes away, but it doesn't, it just makes it worse. If you get a thought next time, try labeling it as an intrusive thought and attempt to move on from it and do something else! You could also try prolonging doing any rituals that come with intrusive thoughts to kind of gradually build up control over them. I wish you the best in your journey against OCD, and I hope that you'll be able to gain control over your intrusive thoughts!

Rhys34.. I did the exact same thing. It’s actually a compulsion because the reason we do it was to rid the anxiety , urge, discomfort or to figure it out, etc. Let me tell you though.. it does not work! You might even get short term relief of the anxiety or urge but not long after comes the anxiety, guilt, ruminating, etc. Basically gives your OCD a new target. Resist the urge to perform compulsions of any form or you’ll remain stuck in your OCD. You did not harm your dog but doing this compulsions will harm you. Please do not listen to your OCD. You can do this.

pocd real event :(
feels like I violated a family friends son who is 10 years old because I was holding a kitty on my lap and they were scratching under the cats chin and I went to scratch under the cats chin as well but we ended up touching hands bc we were both scratching under but like I didn’t care bc I was just like awww kitty or whatever but then when we touched hands and he moved his hand away it freaked me out like I did something bad or violated him. It felt like I cupped and grazed his hand because I went to scratch under the cats chin but he was doing so as well. And when he moved his hand away it like slid past my hand and it just made me feel like I did something weird. Some people would be able to do this and not freak out and even continue scratching under the cats chin with the little boy and not care but I care and it’s making me feel really weird and bad. And also him moving his hand away when I touched it makes me feel like I did something bad. This all happened in a span of a literal second and I just want to disappear

Can’t get past this
I posted about this a couple days ago, about a dog chewing a ball while laying in my lap and it was giving me a physical sensation down there that technically felt good because it was right there. I keep replaying the moment in my head as a compulsion and trying to figure it out and I won’t stop until it feels right. I feel like I would know 100% if I indulged in it and let it feel good so I shouldn’t even be questioning if I did do that bc idk if I did. I remember looking down at the dog and realizing that everytime he bit the ball and moved his forward is when it would feel good for me. And while I was noticing that, I can’t help but think back, was that me just recognizing or allowing it to happen or both??? What does that say about me if I allowed myself to indulge in the feeling.
