Sexual OCD
Hi I’m new, I just want to know if anyone else has experienced intrusive thoughts about being attracted to a family member such as you’re dad?

Yeah, this is where my OCD started, I have a sister who’s 18 and I got an awful thought one day and I spiralled out of control since then, it’s the most horrendous thing ever but your main exposure would be to sit with the anxiety and do not avoid your dad (I know this is hard) , please remember that OCD is so uncomfortable because the thoughts go against how you are as a person, you are not attracted to your father trust me, because if you were you wouldn’t get anxiety, you would be excited at the thought. Stay strong, I know how hard this feeling is 😢

@Brianm95 Hi thank you so much for the support! I just feel like an awful person because I feel like it’s not giving me as much anxiety as it used to because I’m used to these thoughts and sometimes I feel like maybe I am anxious but I’ve gotten used to the feeling too of being anxious idk

@Caitlin2820281 No honestly I relate to this so much, I used to take so many panic attacks due to it and now it’s been months and any time I get them I don’t get as much anxiety, but that’s not to mean they don’t trouble you, it just means you are used to them, be happy they don’t give you as much anxiety anymore because it sounds like they are fading away, mines are slowly going away but some days are harder than others, you have got this! ❤️

@Brianm95 Thank you! I also feel like I’m a bad person cause I have this intrusive thought that I like these thoughts and that sometimes o feel like I smile at them cause I feel my mouth twitch sometimes but I’m not sure and it’s making me feel like I need to ask reassurance and that I literally cannot think about anything else but the fact I had smiled at this thought

Not me but its very common among the ocd sufferers. Dont sweat it. Just keep living with the anxiety and dont do anything to try and eliminate the anxiety. Accept the idea you might be sexually attracted to your dad and you might not. Its when you keep trying to purge the possibility that you keep giving the obsession and compulsion cycle the fuel it needs to keep running.

Incest Thoughts. Long Vent.
I’m so tired of my OCD changing “themes.” And no matter what it changes to, it’s always directed towards a specific person - my mom. My mom and I are very close. I consider her my best friend and we live together. I can share anything with her and she’s very supportive. I’m 32 now, but harm ocd started w...

OCD takes over me
I feel like one of the worst things about ocd are the disturbing images or the ‘little movies’ that replay in your head over and over again. I have the worst sexual images with one of my family members that actually so bad that I can’t even look in the mirror. And it’s even worse that I have a lovely boyfriend an...
