Hi there! Thank you so much for reaching out on here! As fun and delicious as it is, alcohol will increase anxiety no matter what kind it is. Iāve had to take a break from drinking when my intrusive thoughts have been more present. Iām so sorry youāre experiencing high distress right now. Give yourself some extra grace right now!

Hi everyone, I'm struggling with what I think are intrusive thoughts, possibly related to OCD, and I'm hoping someone here might relate. When I was younger, in my early teens, I went through a period where I had a strong interest in pornography. During that time, I encountered hentai involving male characters, related to an anime I enjoyed. One of the characters was someone I even looked up to. I feel incredibly uncomfortable admitting this, but I believe I engaged in sexual activity related to it. Years later, I'm plagued by intrusive thoughts about this. I feel intense self-disgust and shame. It's like this memory has "tainted" my ability to enjoy that anime, and sometimes other things. I'm constantly replaying the situation in my mind, questioning my past actions, and worrying about what it means about me. The anxiety is significantly impacting my life. Does anyone else experience intrusive thoughts focused on past events, particularly those that cause feelings of shame or disgust? How do you cope with the constant replaying and questioning? I'm looking for support and understanding. Thank you for listening.

Huge tw Iām so scared Iām a r*pist people have told me I am. I wanted to lose my virginity when I was 19 I felt embarrassed and ashamed I hadnāt. I decided to get drunk and find someone in a club to lose it to. I donāt remember much other than I was happy it was finally happening and remember thinking my plan had worked. I was told by friends that the other person was drunk and possibly on drugs. I must be a r*pist as I knew what I was doing and instigated it, I took advantage and used someone. I feel sick and donāt deserve to move on I canāt even apologies as it was a complete stranger what if theyāre living with trauma because of me.

First I must say I love children and harming one sickens me. So if you donāt understand pocd please donāt commment. Ive only ever been drunk around children once at a house party , my ocd then convinced me I couldāve assaulted them the next morning as my memory was patchyā¦I havenāt let this go for YEARS. I didnāt even know what I did? 6 years later I have this whole story, based off an intrusive image I had but still donāt really know what I did? Every waking day of my life Iām trying to figure this out but Iām getting more and more confused. Iāve found clues, coincidences , things I believe could be evidence but isnāt really? Iām mixing in reality and false imagesā¦.My therapists (Iāve had 3) all say this is false memory ocd? But mine feels different? Mine feels worse? Anyway I need a break.
