You know it’s interesting. When I was younger and I would have a dream doing something sexual with a family member, it would freak me out so much. I couldn’t deal with it. But now, when thoughts or dream or whatever happen, I could care less. I have learned to seperate thoughts from myself, to the point that I view thoughts as just a machine that generate ideas and images. It’s not me. It’s just a tool I can use. If you think about it; this is exactly what thoughts are. Just a thought machine. Unfortunately we have ocd, and the thought machine is linked to our fight or flight system, so it can feel like we are doing something wrong. But the truth is, thoughts are just thoughts. And the less you resist them, the less you will feel that fight or flight experience. Eventually you can just let them go like I do.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It’s the absolute worst because you can’t escape - even worse when it is about a younger family member. The fact that you barely get time to grieve the relationships you used to have with family members because you feel such immense guilt is honestly traumatising. I’m so glad I found out this was OCD because I can’t imagine having to go on another year not knowing what was happening to me, but luckily I did and now I’m doing better. It’s still a struggle but I now feel safe in my own body the majority of the time and I am able to function as a human being, which is good. Wishing you all the best luck - you’re not crazy, don’t worry.

You are not crazy, or we both crazy)) I have this thought too, that’s why I’m afraid to go to my hometown to see my parents ..

I LIVE WITH THEM, so most of the time is thoughts and sadness does it happen to you, when the tear is in your eyes and you just want to cry but you can’t do it

@eugenia Украина, пришла сюда из реддита, на русских форумах никакой полезной информации не было и я просто компульсировала, и вот я тут, пытаюсь что то делать)

@xqrsljk Да, согласна. На русских форумах только поддерживают компульсии и переживают ещё больше. Здесь хотя бы понимают, что не стоит переубеждать, и можно посоветоваться ) жаль терапия дорогая )

@eugenia Если ты про терапию в этом приложении, то я даже не смотрела цены😅а так вообще да, я планирую попробовать сама делать экспозиции, пробовала с помощью nocd но для меня как то не эффективно было

@xqrsljk С самостоятельными экспозициями надо быть аккуратней) я занимаюсь КПТ, но именно грамотных экспозиций недостаёт конечно. Но ничего, справимся)

@eugenia С терапевтом кпт? Помогает? Я читала книгу как то ocd workbook, разобралась более менее в иерархии этих страхов и всего такого

@xqrsljk Да, мне хорошо помогло с моими идеалистическими убеждениями, что часто у окрщиков есть, с отношениями помогло, что это нормально по разному относится к партнёру. Ещё кстати помогли подкасты ocd stories, gathering gold. Но сейчас что-то опять темы старые вернулись, может осень так влияет на меня. А ты подтверждала диагноз?

@eugenia Поняла) Нет, у меня нет возможности сходить к врачу, все очень сложно в общем, надеюсь что смогу попасть к нему скоро. Подкасты не слушала, не уверенна что мой английский достаточно хорош) Окр отношений появилось в конце января, летом легче без учебы стало, высыпаться начала, а сейчас опять жесть какая то, еще и обсесси с других тем паралельно подключились

@xqrsljk Да, подкасты лёгкие для понимания. И считаю очень важно слышать опыт других людей, которые через это прошли, очень воодушевляет. У меня с локдауна первого все началось в 2020, тогда же я и узнала что окр не только мытьё рук :/ ну и в детстве это все появлялось.

@eugenia Хорошо, спасибо, послушаю тогда) У меня в году 17-18 началось, с банального перфекционизма и вечных проверок, вот сейчас с отношениями связано

I have horrible sexual intrusive thoughts about my family! They make me feel sick to my stomach but I know it’s my ocd just being a d*ck and that I don’t actually want to do those things. You’re not alone and you’re not crazy 🧡🧡

I have intrusive thoughts about pornography with family, friends or even strangers. I really tried to block them out but it seems they always get triggered.l feel extreme guilt and this massive pit in my stomatach that is just there 24/7 and it WONT GO AWAY! I know this may sound weird but my mum knows about this as she noticed something was wrong, but every time I get a thought I always feel the need to tell her i keep thinking that I have done something wrong and that my guilt will go away if i tell BUT IT DOESN’T It just gets worse and another thing pop in and another. ITS A NEVER ENDING CYCLE and it seems like I just can’t break free. What do I do? Anyone who has also gone through this how did you recover and get your life back?

Hey guys today I just wanted to come here and share an experience I have and I generally don't know what to do I feel like a terrible person for having these thoughts and for thinking them I genuinely don't know what to do I don't know the signs behind it and why I think the way I do but it's honestly driving me crazy I don't know what to do I have a pornography addiction for a long time it's where it's like anytime I'm an intimate moment or am masturbating my head just thinks these weird things always the same repetitive thoughts to of family members your younger sibling or a young child I myself am a 17 year old and I feel so disgusted I feel like I can't live my life anymore I feel like I'm a criminal cuz like it feels like I chose this these thoughts like I actively think them I don't know the signs behind it and I just really need professional help if there's any like therapist here that could fill me in that would be nice I would also like to know if you guys had any similar experiences because for me I feel like I have to rewatch pornography and do it right without the thoughts cuz I feel like the thoughts are just like to prevalent anytime I do anything related to masturbation why do I think this way I'm also just trying to be as honest as I can with this I'm not trying to make myself I guess a victim I'm trying to hold myself accountable if I actually am like this because I also have doubts in my head that tells me that I enjoy these things I feel like I'm going crazy someone help because it feels so real like I acted on them or that I was pleasuring myself to the thoughts and not towards the video it's just how can I live with myself you know also during it it felt like I was thinking the thought for a long period of time like it was dominating my head so I couldn't focus it felt l
