Hey gal, sounds like you’ve been doing a lot of ruminating and have worked yourself up into a hightened state. OCD has really jumped on this for you and is not going to let you let it go without a fight. You have done nothing wrong… but me giving you that reassurance will not satisfy your OCD unfortunately. The best thing for you to do right now is disengage from the conversation. Every time it pops into your head let it go in and out without analyzing, ruminating, self punishing, etc. Lean into your feelings of guilt, anxiety, etc. do not avoid the thoughts or emotions. Use “maybe, maybe not” 🤷🏼♀️ and continue on with your day. Let OCD tell you you’re a bad person, blah, blah, blah and just disengage or respond with 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ I’m sorry you’re feeling so scared. You’re going to be ok I promise

Thank your for your response truly you are so kind, I just hate how when It happened I felt like I wanted to do it to enjoy it even though the whole time I hated it and was just trying to think of normal things I even tried to gauge the difference between the thought to see if I enjoyed one I’ve the other.. I know it’s ocd but sometimes it feels so real like that maybe this is me and this is what I really want that I’m just in denial.. I just wish this would go away I feel so guilty and so much shame and disgust just horrible.. I will try to just sit with this and use “maybe, maybe not” as well. Thank you for your response again because I was really confused and contemplating everything your so kind 🥺

@OneDayAtATime💭 Just remember it has to feel really really real to you otherwise it wouldn’t bother you and OCD needs it to truly bother you otherwise it wouldn’t be able to trap you like it does. OCD’s goal is to keep you trapped. It also only targets what you value you most in life. You’re so welcome. OCD loves to high jack masturbation, groinal sensations, urges, etc. It’s so horrible but with ERP I promise it’ll get so much better. Follow @jenna.overbaugh on Instagram

Please know that if God is all merciful with you then you should also be merciful with yourself, we will make mistakes we are human and God expects us to make those mistakes. Learn from them. Have you spoken to a therapist? Getting treatment is the best option. You're not a lost cause, not unfixable, you haven't committed something unforgivable. Nothing is bigger than God's mercy. He loves you, know this.

I did a few sexual compulsions (only with myself of course) in the past (2 months ago , did it couple of times) and I regret it BADLY I want to die every time because of that because of the guilt that I can’t handle it I feel like a monster I can’t move on from this. I feel like I deserve nothing in life. I prefer to kill myself then do it again. Like what went on my mind. I wanted to check and get rid of the thought but I can’t live with the shame. I posted this a few times but cant move on. What I did was BAD sexual compulsion. My therapist said to me that people with ocd can have a sever compulsions. And I think I told her about this compulsion but I think she forgot so I’m planning to said it to her again so she will tell me if it’s actually ocd or not. And the fact that I did have another themes before Pocd but I don’t know if I have Pocd anymore cause I feel like a monster and like I crossed the line. I’m terrified that I went to far. I regret I badly. There is not a single day I’m not thinking about it and want to kill my self. That compulsion is against my morals like I become the person I was afraid of all the time. The shame will it me until the day that I die

This flare up is getting worse. So my son brought me a paper he needed signed for school yesterday and I asked him to get me a pen. As he got the pen I was just looking at him and unintentionally glanced over his private area and immediately freaked out with guilt. My ocd started telling me I was staring and that I wanted to look there. I know I wasn’t staring and I don’t ever want to look there. Anytime I accidentally catch a glimpse of my children’s private areas I always immediately look away and feel so guilty even though it wasn’t intentional or wanted but my ocd is making me believe I did stare and now the memory of it is blurred the more I try to remember it exactly to disprove the ocd. I feel horrible and I don’t know how I can ever get past this. 😪

I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh
