I struggle with the same theme. Have you tried reaching out for therapy? Today was my first day & I have heard it helps significantly.

I have a therapist she didn’t really help much I don’t think. She just kept repeating the same things. I feel so alone on here now

@Just Breathe ❤️ A therapist from NOCD? I have seen two therapists that did not help me at all, in fact triggered me & was telling me to do compulsions….it is very important that they understand ocd.

@WE CAN DO THIS Yes she is. She’s very informative and helpful in ways. I just got her after I lost my other therapist that was through NOCD too. I think it’s just me. I don’t know what to do now. I’m scared

Because reality is it is your ocd & ocd makes you doubt ocd. It’s the doubting disorder that’s why you have to take control and say okay if it is I don’t give a damn anymore. If it isn’t even better

It's called groinal response and isn't actually indicative of real arousal. Also, you should be seeing an OCD specialist as opposed to a general therapist.

Yes but I felt things throughout my whole body not just down there. It was weird and hard to explain. I’m scared if it was real and not ocd. I have a therapist through NOCD so she’s an ocd specialist

It was like my body lit up does that make sense? Or my blood pressure went up maybe my heart rate too. It’s blurry to me now but I’m scared. I don’t want to be attracted to my niece that the intrusive image was about! I don’t want it to be true but it literally felt like it was. False feelings false attraction I don’t know. I was reading a romance story that was very steamy and that’s when the thought came up and the weird physical sensations so I don’t know. I feel so bad about it

@Just Breathe ❤️ That sounds like anxiety, not actual arousal.

@Learned5dragons It didn’t feel like anxiety though? But immediately afterwards I burst into tears because it felt so real

@Just Breathe ❤️ I would do research on arousal noncordanance. Also, the feelings you describe do sound like anxiety.

You have to start learning to go with the uncertainty. Maybe it is maybe it isn’t? Maybe I will maybe I won’t? Who cares! & I’m not saying that to be rude. That’s the attitude you have to have from what I’m understanding.

But I’m scared what if it is the maybe and not the maybe not. I can’t accept or handle that

@Just Breathe ❤️ But you can. It’s easier than what you’re dealing with right now about to loose your mind. Just try it

I thought I'd gotten over sexual obsessions, since they haven't been bothering me at all until I had a flare up yesterday. I usually struggle with masturbation due to a combination of both anorgasmia from SSRI medication along with intrusive thoughts, so I thought that an adult film should work fine and went on the hub as per usual. Everything went well until I "finished" and looked at the video title afterwards. My stomach dropped as the title had the word "teen" it in. I felt nauseous and gross because I'd previously struggled and became horrifically suicidal due to the pocd I thought I had under control. Now I know that by the word teen, it means an adult actress that's 18-19 and I'm only 20. But I can't shake the feeling that I'm gross for watching and that it was illegal material, even though I am fully aware that it wasn't, so I've been ruminating over it endlessly. This is more of a vent, but I feel like all the progress I've made with my ocd just went down the drain ☹️

I want to rip out my uterus. Only my hormones can make my OCD and ability to manage it go back to square one. I am spiraling *so* hard. I cannot breathe. My PMDD is going crazy. I’m having a panic attack again. I feel so scared. The POCD is going absolutely insane right now. It feels undeniably real, and my mind keeps drifting to those awful thoughts and what feels like exploring them?? but I can’t for the life of me stop some of these compulsions right now. I was trying to watch something to get my mind off of this but ended up getting triggered twice, so my anxiety is a 10 and I can’t seem to calm down. This panic attack is tuned all the way up.

18+ pls!!! pls reply if u can (superrrrr tmi, pls don’t read if it’ll make you uncomfortable) since struggling with ocd, i have rules around the likes of m^sturbation and sexual stuff because i think too much into it now. one of the rules is that exact day i cant have seen or been around children because otherwise ill get intrusive thoughts that ive done it because of that (it isnt and never has been, before all of this i was able to engage in this stuff without any worry because it never crossed my mind). i cant have seen one the day before either or the day after actually engaging in that stuff because otherwise my mind plays tricks on me. i wanted to yk today because it makes me tired and most of the time helps me sleep but im worried i cant now because my mum and i watched a show and there was a quick clip of a child in it and my for you page on tiktok is things related to the genocide in gaza which obviously on some posts has pictures too that i’ve seen while interacting with the posts (like, commenting and reposting. thought i should state this bc i dont want it to sound like i meant anything else) so because now ive seen them i feel incredibly guilty and that if i am to yk, they’ll somehow link and be proof im this bad person. (Also should state i mean m^sturbate to ADULT content, when i’ve seen these posts i haven’t got aroused or anything. i’m just worried that bc ive seen stuff related to children today it’ll be bad of me to engage in that sort of thing to help me sleep)
