Cannibalism
Any advise on how to over come cannibalism thoughts. I have thought about it to much where I feel like there is no return. It made me question everything.

Lean towards the uncertainty. ‘Maybe I like cannibalism, maybe I don’t. This is my OCD and I choose not to engage it at this time and I will move forward with whatever I want to do at this time!’ Hope this helps you!!!
@Dee C I will continue to try to do this. It’s just so hard when it feel so real 😓
Oh my God this is the theme of my harm ocd can’t believe I found someone suffering from the same horrible thought.. what I do after living a year with it is try not to engage with the thought it was hard at the beginning but gets easier.. and sometimes I found that saying ok mind you do it can quiten the mind.. I know this ocd theme believe me it began after being traumatized by photos of this theme, hang in there you are not alone ❤️
@Loranqadri I had suffered from this theme before and it was horrible. I was able to get past it but now I feel more stuck than ever. The worst part is looking at the people I love and have this horrible thought’s. The scariest part for me is when I feel like I wouldn’t care to be a cannibal and that I won’t be able to interact with people without worrying about this. Thinking about how I could not think about this before keeps me stuck. I definitely need to stick to exposures.
@JessiJess I appreciate your comment, it really helped to know someone else experienced this
@JessiJess If you want to talk anytime I am here for you, I know the feeling of not caring it occurs to me also and makes me sometimes scared sometimes I say ok, let’s move on… maybe that is the mind adjusting to it.. learn to let your awareness flout give yourself time alone to meditate, and yes stick to exposures 🙏
I have overcome this. I remember seeing a tv show when I was a teen about a cannibal and it made me scared to death that I could be one. You can overcome it! OCD is crazy!
@Anonymous Thank you for your comment. The first thought I had was when I saw a show where a bird was eating a bird. And I got past it but then recently I was cutting some steak and it came again. I hope to over come it soon. It is scary. Worst theme of all.
Also listening to rain sounds for a set time trying not to think of anything helps, trying to sit in cafe’s where there is people and my mind can then be trained that I am not going to hurt them.. by time I am able to mix with people almost without the thought but at the beginning I could not even look at my family, and yes this crisis messed with my faith too.
i was searching for some people who might have this theme too and i found this post! i’ve been struggling with this for past 2 days now and it’s awful. i feel like such a monster. this would’ve never crossed my mind before but after watching a movie with that theme it triggered me. if you don’t mind me asking how are you doing now?
@stargirlll I’m so sorry you are going through. I know it is a horrible feeling. I am doing better now, but I have moments on some days where it sticks again. I treat it like any other theme and try to just embrace uncertainty. This has been the hardest thought for me to pass, but it has not been the worst.

I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They weren’t nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, I’m suffering. I haven’t had a sexual experience in over a year that didn’t involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but it’s so bad. I know you’re supposed to ignore them but I don’t know how I can just ignore that and continue what I’m doing. But they’re coming on stronger. I had one earlier I could not get rid of just as things finished so the thought came on strongly just before my orgasm hit and now I feel absolutely disgusting. I hated the thought and I know it’s not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. I’m so fucking tired of these thoughts. They’re in my every day life too and it’s all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?
I have intrusive thoughts about pornography with family, friends or even strangers. I really tried to block them out but it seems they always get triggered.l feel extreme guilt and this massive pit in my stomatach that is just there 24/7 and it WONT GO AWAY! I know this may sound weird but my mum knows about this as she noticed something was wrong, but every time I get a thought I always feel the need to tell her i keep thinking that I have done something wrong and that my guilt will go away if i tell BUT IT DOESN’T It just gets worse and another thing pop in and another. ITS A NEVER ENDING CYCLE and it seems like I just can’t break free. What do I do? Anyone who has also gone through this how did you recover and get your life back?
Hey guys today I just wanted to come here and share an experience I have and I generally don't know what to do I feel like a terrible person for having these thoughts and for thinking them I genuinely don't know what to do I don't know the signs behind it and why I think the way I do but it's honestly driving me crazy I don't know what to do I have a pornography addiction for a long time it's where it's like anytime I'm an intimate moment or am masturbating my head just thinks these weird things always the same repetitive thoughts to of family members your younger sibling or a young child I myself am a 17 year old and I feel so disgusted I feel like I can't live my life anymore I feel like I'm a criminal cuz like it feels like I chose this these thoughts like I actively think them I don't know the signs behind it and I just really need professional help if there's any like therapist here that could fill me in that would be nice I would also like to know if you guys had any similar experiences because for me I feel like I have to rewatch pornography and do it right without the thoughts cuz I feel like the thoughts are just like to prevalent anytime I do anything related to masturbation why do I think this way I'm also just trying to be as honest as I can with this I'm not trying to make myself I guess a victim I'm trying to hold myself accountable if I actually am like this because I also have doubts in my head that tells me that I enjoy these things I feel like I'm going crazy someone help because it feels so real like I acted on them or that I was pleasuring myself to the thoughts and not towards the video it's just how can I live with myself you know also during it it felt like I was thinking the thought for a long period of time like it was dominating my head so I couldn't focus it felt l
