Hi angel, I read what you said above! I can relate to not doing anything sexual or feeling "dirty" afterward. First of all, don't let OCD bully you into thinking you've done something wrong or abnormal. I'm sorry it's attaching these negative feelings to something that's completely normal š„²š« Sit with them as best you can for now. Maybe try to do something comforting? Just know that those intrusive thoughts don't define you as a person at all!

Hey Angel, I see you and Iām here. Whatever youāre feeling right now ā youāre not alone. OCD loves to show up strongest at night when everythingās quiet. But just because your mind is loud doesnāt mean itās telling the truth. Youāre safe. Breathe. One moment at a time. Want to talk about whatās worrying you?

What youāre going through isnāt a reflection of who you are ā itās a reflection of how deeply OCD tries to shake your identity. The fact that youāre even questioning your thoughts, feeling guilt, and seeking clarity means you care. It means you are not your intrusive thoughts. OCD latches onto what you value most and distorts it until you doubt your own goodness. But let me be clear: you are not a monster. You are not broken. Youāre a human with a big heart navigating a brutal disorder. Thatās strength.

@Idontknow this is like extremely tmi and iām super sorry abt that id understand if you didnāt want to read bc it would be awkward but i do this thing and itās like o canāt m*sturbate or engage in anything sexual after being around kids bc it triggers my ocd and yeah it just makes me feel dirty bc even tho itās not that im yk attracted to them, my mind still plays tricks. today i decided to push through it bc ik itās my ocd and my nephew came down but i didnāt know he was n i played roblox with him for a bit and when he left like an hour later i think it was i was talking to this boy and things got yk sexual so i ended up doing that and i feel so guilty now. and itās like just before the boy and i yk engaged in such conversations and i couldnāt even yk it took me like hours to and the second i finally did i had constant intrusive thoughts. idk how im supposed to push through them bc i feel so dirty and terrible

@angel šŖ½ Youāre ok!! It seems like you're going through a tough time with your OCD and how it's affecting your feelings about intimacy and sexual behavior. I want you to know that those feelings of distress and guilt are tied to your OCD and donāt truly reflect your real desires or intentions. It's completely normal to feel confused and frustrated when OCD makes it hard to enjoy certain activities or connect with others. You're not alone in this, I understand you 100%

@angel šŖ½ No no, i read. I'm so sorry you feel this way, i understand it's not good to give reassurance, but you didn't act on it as much as your mind convinces you that it's the same, you didn't have the intention, that's why they give you so much anxiety. It FEELS so real, i get it, you feel irredeemable and like you're making a bunch of excuses or you simply believe you acted on it because of the backdoor spike you get, what you are experiencing has a name and it's the backdoor spike. "Why am i pushing through it, does it mean i'm bad?" I don't think you're dirty, bad, or anything like that, i think you're human and you have anxiety like everyone else here, i don't think this is something new that i've read, i've read many experiences of people with OCD like this. Don't be afraid to go to therapy or tell your therapist this if you're going, believe me they've heard way worse things than this. Sending you hugs and strength š«

i feel like i have been posting a lot about this and i will try to stop since now but i just don't know where to start or what to do, and i can't take therapy right now either. my event is about something that did actually happen; i had a boyfriend and we had a 1.5 age difference (i know this sounds stupid) but the thing is that we both started to sext a lot since he was 14 and i was 15. we shared audios videos pictures ect and i don't know how to just let this go, even when i know that i never really forced him into anything and i was always constantly worried about him being comfortable, when to stop and ect. the memories keep coming back to my mind and the guilt is eating me up slowly because i keep thinking that i'm a predator or a groomer or something like that. i don't know how to deal with the what ifs either, lately i haven't stopped thinking what if i sexually harassed or sexually exploited him or something like that. how do i deal with the cycle of guilt and constant what ifs if i also feel like my event is worse than others i've seen? please help me with this. it's getting a lil tiring and even if somedays i know how to deal with this, i still get really triggered sometimes. this wouldn't even bother me before, i wish i could just get back in time before this theme popped into my mind. my life has been a hell since then and i live constantly scared and suicidal.

18+ TW! Involves sexual content I have learning disabilities which means im always going to be 3-5 years mentally behind from my actual age⦠when I was 14 I remember finding people saying they work with kids āattractiveā and I remember mastu*** over a kid around 5+ but when I was 14 I was either mentally age 11 or 9. So I didnāt know it was wrong, and as soon as I realised I stopped. People say I was young and itās okay but I remember finding people saying they even walked past a nursery āattractiveā but I donāt know if this is even the right word. Maybe cute? Because I find different emotions hard to tell the difference between, so maybe itās cute rather than attractive. I never ever had intentions to do anything to younger individuals, it was just me finding people saying they worked with them etc attractive⦠which my ocd now plays on, because my friend mentioned they were working with kids but idk if it was the real me or not but I genuinely felt like I found it attractive and it was giving my so many groinal responses which then made me feel genuinely aroused like I wanted to do things. This plays on my mind because my ocd will always say ābut you did/do find stuff like this attractiveā but this literally stops me from eating, sleeping or anything. I canāt break from my compultions because what if I do genuinely find it attractive. I donāt think itās even attractive maybe itās cute? Like I find it cute⦠but cuteness can give people feelings down there I guess. I think because if my learning disabilities I found it hard to know the difference between āattractionā and cute so I did stuff over it because it gave me that feeling down there but that could of been cuteness feeling. I just need some support on this.
