Keep going and expose yourself to your thoughts! You got this. Prove to your anxiety that it’s not actions and just thoughts.

Hi OcdFreakboy, as Jesse said these are just intrusive thoughts. You are not your intrusive thoughts, they can come completely out of the blue and may be contrary to anything you have ever done or thought before. ERP is the best way to make progress and keep the OCD bully in check as much as possible. No matter what the obsessions, It’s all about exposure, not giving into your compulsions and getting comfortable with not giving definitive answers to whatever your OCD is latching on to and moving forward with life. You can do this, stay strong and best wishes.

Idk what to do
Hey yall, having a tough time. I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts while I self pleasure and it GENUIENLY feels like I enjoy them for whatever reason. And then now about half an hour later it’s like okay it’s a sexual thought but I might not actually like it. Idk I just really hate myself, because I basically genuinely liked it in the moment

Intrusive Thoughts During “Me-Time”
So I was enjoying some “me time” and had intrusive thoughts, but it felt like just for a second I liked it. Like I’m holding myself back from “enjoying” the thought. And the thoughts are related to things I was into when I was younger, but sometimes I feel like I might still like it even though 9/10 I wouldn’t give it a second thought. Is this common? Or is this just denial? Thanks

What do you say to OCD when you have harm urges?
I am struggling right now with intrusive harm urges. They feel real and it feels like I am going to act any second. It feels like I have to hold myself back, which is a scary thoughts. I am trying so hard not to compulse, but does anyone have tips on what they do in these situations?
