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’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

I feel like a really terrible person right now, I keep replaying this, and no matter what I can’t remember what happened, it’s like my brain is purposely not letting me think about it. Without wasting any more time, I’ll get into it. Basically, I was at Walmart, and looking at cards with My Dad, I saw anime ones, took pictures of them for my sister, even ones that were anime kids, because I did my best to ignore it, so I looked at a Hunter x Hunter card, I stared at the black haired kid, being all like “ I’m glad I’m not having any thoughts about this, I’m glad I’m having normal thoughts and not thinking anything” I felt happy, then as soon as I looked at killua (white haired kid), everything collapsed. I don’t know what happened, my brain won’t let me remember. But I’ll give bits and pieces. I think that I had false attraction, and something in my head, said “oh, I wouldn’t mind being attracted.” “He is attractive, and I’m attracted to him.” “I remember a girl thinking he is attractive and he is” “ It’s not wrong to be attracted” “ I don’t care about his age” .. something along the lines of that, and now I’m panicking super hard, because I’m worried if I said those things, I feel like I ruined my life that I’m a pe//do and deserve nothing, idk what to do, I feel terrible… I remember when I was having the intrusive thoughts, I was panicking and was worrying, but it kept playing out, and I kept hearing things talk, it was drawn out too long, that now I feel convinced that I was saying those things, I tested it too, and I can confirm that I didn’t say that, but why am I still not convinced? I know I wouldn’t say those things, I was hoping the complete opposite would happen. My brain kept making me feel like it wasn’t wrong and it was okay. Maybe that’s why I’m so convinced I did that. I’m just spiraling super bad right now, I don’t know what to do or what to think, I don’t know if I said that or not… even if I did test it, I genuinely just feel like I said it, and I wanted it, because I still feel uncertain, I still feel like I said it, part of me just wants to be like oh I did and so I can move on, not because I agree with it, I just don’t know what else to do… I’m really scared.

hello everybody! 🔞 last saturday i did something i shouldn't have done, and i even posted about it here, but no one responded to my post (it's okay, i completely understand). to inform you, since i deleted the post: i consumed erotic literature where two 14 year old children had a relationship (☠️), on wattpad. and i consumed this theme to see if i was really attracted to it..i think. i'm unsure about it, but i know i didn't feel anything consuming it. i was feeling extremely anxious and felt extremely bad the next day, and i only got better when i talked to my girlfriend and an online friend. i'm still feeling bad, i know i shouldn't have done it and whenever i'm feeling genuinely good, it comes back to haunt me.. i'm worried because i'm not feeling enough guilt or remorse, idk.. i feel bad and i regret it, and i can't stand going through this problem anymore.. i was in therapy a few months ago, but i stopped for financial reasons and my psychologist doesn't see me virtually anymore. it's been difficult.. just a vent.
