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 got diagnosed with OCD (variant POCD) about 3/4 yeats ago. Lately I've been really confused and makes me uncomfortable this ideas that I've had dreams in my sleep where I have romantic/sexual interactions with my older sibling— I know it's disgusting, and I don't know what to do. Recently I got a boyfriend after years of being without a partner, and he makes me so happy along my friends, but sometimes at random points of the day I have this episodes with minors or my sibling, and the ones with him start to go heavier when I'm at home or alone. The first thing that comes to mind for me to do is always how much I don't wanna live, harm myself or what is my purpose at this point (22fem) having this problems. I feel weirded out when I pass them over, and suddendly think about not giving them the atention because how important they are in a negativa way. I'm just anxious writing this, I need help. Is someone living the same? How do you work on it? I will always be like this from now? — thanks in avance and sorry for mistakes, english isn't my first language

Hi everyone I could really use some help on this topic. It’s hard to admit and talk about but after being on here I see that I’m not the only one! Still I would love some support and advice with how to deal with those unwanted sexual thoughts. For me it’s so uncomfortable and honestly gross when sexual thoughts get out of hand with normal people and also do extremely out of hand that even loved ones get involved. Like when I watch tv and all of a sudden I have these gross thoughts that I know if I accept they will go away but how can you accept something so gross? Would love some help!

agh .. okay .. i’m so so embarrassed to post this, i’m literally crying .. but i need some help and advice. or maybe just a place to vent. i don’t know yet. so .. i was hanging out with three of my cousins today, and a few friends. one of my cousins was driving us around, and it was a pretty long drive, and we all just chatted, had fun, you know, normal teenager shit. but i couldn’t help but shift my focus onto certain things about my cousin driving — “wow, he’s going so fast, he’s so cool,” “i like the way his hands are gripping the wheel. wow his hands. hands hands hands” “his happy trail looks nice” (we went swimming) “i feel jealous of his girlfriend” and all sorts of things. i just feel. so awful. i don’t want these thoughts at all, and i feel just horrible. my ocd mixed with hypersexuality from trauma is just not helping at all, and i just want to get rid of these thoughts. i feel so disgusted with myself, and i’m scared that even though intrusive thoughts are normal, maybe mine are too far and i’m just “unfixable” or “broken.” any advice on what i could do? :( edit: i would like to add that we’re not even blood cousins, since we’re “related” through my step dad, which makes these thoughts worse and makes my head go, “oh, well, it’s okay!!” aghh. so frustrating :(
