I feel very anxious that I would want to be pregnant from one of my family members I know this sounds absolutely insane and I know I hate the thought and I’m scared that I would want that when I don’t even though my OCD is so convincing that I would want that even though I don’t
I understand, don’t be so hard on yourself this is all OCD especially considering the fact that you’re doubting yourself- relax, take a deep breath, you are not the monster your brain is making you out to be.
@izabela’socd Thank you! I appreciate the support🩷
I feel that. I used to have many intrusive thoughts about sexual relations with family members. Really makes you feel crazy, especially when you throw in the groinal response. You’re not alone and if you truly did want one of your family members to get you pregnant, you wouldn’t be on this app worried about it!! Your fear and anxiety around this only shows how false the thought actually is. Hope you feel better❤️
@ajr824 Thank you so much! I appreciate the words of support❤️ I hope you are looking after yourself and not letting that OCD bully will stop annoying us both
hey there, i hear you and that sounds incredibly tough to deal with. your feelings are valid, and you're not alone in this struggle. remember, ocd can be a real trickster with its false alarms. 🖤 i've been there too, the mind can create such distressing scenarios. what really helped me was this free AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" (unstuckmyocd.com/try) that my OCD therapist recommended. it'll be especially helpful for you because it provides personalized step-by-step support that's like having an OCD therapist by your side when things get overwhelming. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3
I had gotten a lot better with my OCD, in general I had a real grasp over my relationship ocd and intrusive thoughts, I was able to comfort myself and see them as just thoughts. This is really embarrassing, but I was triggered a week or so ago when my boyfriend told me one of his key rings came from a girl he slept with 1 time but was friends with (this was 6years ago and has nothing to do with me!) This trigger has led to my sexual intrusive thoughts returning, I have this thing where if I’m having a bit of ‘me time’ my brain sends me images of people I don’t want to think about at that moment in time. Two nights ago it was my boyfriend’s stepdad and I’ve felt guilty ever since. If I’m honest with myself, I’ve always had this sort of issue but I convinced myself that if I didn’t climax whilst thinking of them then it didn’t count and I could let the thought go, I didn’t climax over his stepdad but the thought now isn’t leaving me and I just don’t know what to do. I feel really alone in this and like a weirdo, does anybody else experience this sort of thing ever?
I have severe various forms of ocd. Now it’s harm related. I love my family and daughter but today all of the sudden when I’m driving I had a horrible thought of: omg i will kill my own child one day because I’m crazy. And this thought is so horrifying because I have no intentions of harming anyone but these thoughts come up and I’m freaking out…anyone else have extreme intrusive thoughts?
I haven’t been diagnosed yet but I honestly think I have POCD. I have been getting a lot of images or thoughts of children lately, like sexually too and it’s been very disturbing. The thoughts have been nonstop. I have three nephews at home and I’m scared that if I look at them for too long or make eye contact, then that means I’m attracted to them. I have been avoiding them for the past few days and when I hung out with my friend the other day, we were talking about our future and it made me feel so anxious and sad and guilty because of these thoughts I’ve been having. I have to keep telling myself that I know I don’t feel attracted to them in any way but then the question pops up, like “are you really sure about that?” I almost committed a few days ago because of it and the only reason I didn’t was because I didn’t want to leave my mom or my sister. I did some self harm too and I have to keep reminding myself that if I really felt that way towards kids, then I wouldn’t be going through this much. I feel so guilty because I’ve broken down in front of my mom and she keeps asking what’s wrong but I feel like I can’t tell her. Yesterday and today though, I feel really out of place because I feel like I can’t feel anything when the thoughts come up and I don’t know if that’s normal. Does that mean I’m actually that kind of person? It genuinely scares me to even think about.
