Can someone relate?

Hi! I’ve had OCD for about two years and it’s been a really tough up and down journey. For a while it was just every once in a while but now I feel like there’s so many triggers and it seems constant. My thoughts are mostly moral ones and specially sexual moral things like masturbation (this has been the biggest one for me I couldn’t tell you why I think it just hit my brain the hardest coming from a very traditional sheltered upbringing which I wouldn’t trade for the world) anyway, I myself don’t struggle with these things but I obsess over the thoughts of other people doing things which makes it even worse bc I feel like I’m constantly judging people. I’m blessed to have people in my life that understand and even have ocd, but I haven’t found anyone so far who struggles with the same things so my therapist recommended trying a support group. Can anyone relate?

Hi Cg11, with my OCD I have lots of sexual intrusive thoughts. And I don't feel like I've ever obsessed over what others do I've definitely had thots about things ppl could be doing etc. Like "maybe he's a pedophile" than im like wait excuse me you don't even know the guy. I know that sound horrible it even sounds terrible to me. Don't know if this is helpful. 🤔

Cg, sexually intrusive thoughts are extremely common and can take all sorts of forms. I have/had numerous episodes of such thoughts. As I’m sure you know finding a way to accept that you have those thoughts and not reacting/judging is the best way to over come them. We cannot control our thoughts, just our reaction to them I can write this but of course I struggle daily with putting it into action. I still have thoughts on a daily basis that if I am aware can send me down a spiraling rabbit hole of anxiety, guilt and anger. Good luck
