I know exactly what you mean. For me the past couple months for me were dormant and then one day it came back it wasnt as bad as it was a couple months back. What I did was try to stay out of my head lol I know it’s sounds ridiculous but it’s true. I did things is LOVED during that constantly passed the time. Eventually I wasn’t focusing on the OCD thoughts anymore. But there creeping back on me .. but not as bad

Do you have a therapist that understands OCD and specializes in ERP? Doing compulsions is learned behavior and the only part of the OCD cycle you have control over. I'm not saying it will be easy, but you CAN learn not to do your compulsions. I lived with OCD for 37 years and never knew it. I thought OCD was just handwashing and liking things neat and organized. I had neither. I was finally diagnosed in August at age 45. So if I can stop doing my compulsions anyone can. Recovery is possible, but it will take time and a lot of hard work. But you aren't alone.

no i don't have a therapist or an OCD diagnosis. but i've been meaning to get in touch with one. the issue is i'm a minor so all of the appointment scheduling has been left in the hands of my parents and tbh i believe they've forgotten. i've brought it up time and time again to them, but they always forget which is understandable my parents are very busy people. i've been using NOCD to help with my intrusive thoughts and i can honestly say it has. not as well as a therapist would of course lol. i have shown the app to my parents and even talked to them about talking to a therapist here. they dismisses it at first but i wanna bring it to their attentions again

Self pleasure and intrusive thoughts :/
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

Intrusive thoughts
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅
