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 🧡🧡

(25f have always felt I was hetero) I feel like my experience is uncommon and it makes me feel like the world is crashing down. I used to privately act on a kink that’s extremely uncommon, an involuntary thing people do everyday. It was a kink that was NEVER in the real world. I’d act on it every now and then through erotica or when I was younger, videos…then at some point grew an awareness that this was weird and only stuck to erotica. When people did this involuntary act irl I would be grosses out, annoyed, feel nothing or would have this little thought in the background that “ew germs”. Especially my parents I was often annoyed when they did it. For the past 8 months I’ve continuously have feared what my sexual feelings are towards family, friends and children when they do this act that I used to have a kink towards. I had the thought “well I don’t think I really want this kink in this new relationship” then I thought “wait…am I acknowledging this is a real thing for me? If so what does that say about this kink happening in the real world? Are you attracted to anyone doing the act? What about children? Or mom?!” Especially my mom, I fear what I will feel if she does this involuntary act and that I may at some point give in and feel inappropriate feelings towards her/pleasure myself to her doing the act. It’s so bad that I will mentally create scenarios of her and others doing the kink in the exact sexual ways that turned me on to see if it will arouse me. I worry that being annoyed towards my parents, especially my mom doing this act in the past was because I was in denial and was masking that it actually turned me on. You can’t ever fully get rid of kinks and although I don’t act on this one anymore…I worry and fear that bc I haven’t acted on it, it’s attaching to family, friends and even children in the way of fantasies and that the only reason I feel despair, shame, guilt, disgust and fear is only because of what others would think of me. Not what I actually think. In the beginning I was so filled with disgust, guilt, shame and fear that I ran away from home then admitted myself to a psych ward last summer hoping it would help (plot twist, didn’t.) I’m suicidal, I cry multiple times a day. Every thought I have I don’t trust and worry what they actually mean. Every thought of any kind. My mom and I used to be so so so close. She was my best friend and I avoid her a lot now because I fear I have a sexual disorder and am uncontrollably attracted to her. I miss her much I’m crying while typing this. My mom has only done the involuntary act around me a few times in the past 8 months and each time the arousal was so strong I felt like I was dissociating with how horrible my life has become. The worst part is…the arousal itself feels really good compared to the arousal I get around my bf…except with him I don’t feel extreme anxiety and despair when I’m aroused. I have so many other thoughts too and it makes it so hard to be in the moment and enjoy my bf, family and friends. I feel like a monster…

I have been struggling today, most likely due to lack of sleep. I had a thought that I would consider intrusive, but what really unsettled me was that I felt like I liked it, **not just in the sense that I lacked anxiety over it, but that I genuinely felt like I wanted it.** It left me feeling really confused. It happened during intimacy, which makes it even more unsettling. The thought was incestuous, I found myself imagining and comparing the moment with my boyfriend to my father :/, and what really alarms me is that I felt like I wanted it there, both mentally and physically. I was having a really nice time, so maybe the physical sensations got mixed in somehow, but it still worries me. I did my best not to ruminate in the moment and avoided checking. I tried to move on, but the feeling of genuinely liking the thought was so clear that it is hard to shake off. Has anyone else experienced something similar? This is one of the first times it has ever happened to this extent.
