Hi, new here. Didn't know where else to go and came across this site. I have OCD, severe anxiety/social anxiety and depression. I keep constantly getting intrusive thoughts popping into my head. I won't go into too much detail cos I hate myself enough as it is for thinking of it. I get unwanted sexual thoughts in my head, something I would NEVER act on but yet the thoughts keep coming. I'm a good person but scared deep inside I might be evil or something. Scared to post this but guess I just want to know if I'm alone on this. I know I'm being pretty vague but never spoken about this before and don't know where to go for help.
Don't even know if this site talks about this kinda stuff. Probably just gonna look like an idiot.

Please do not hate yourself! It's not a form of OCD that I've experienced myself, but it is quite common amongst people with OCD.
There is no need to believe that you could act on these thoughts. They are so distressing to you because they consist of things you would never do. The sort of people who act on such thoughts luxuriate in them, and don't try to push them away. That is not you.
Do ask for a referral to a CBT therapist from your GP. Any therapist who works with OCD people will have come across such cases as yours before, will not be shocked or horrified, and will understand that you don't want these intrusive thoughts.
I have as well sexual thoughts with strangers. But those onese are not bothering much. Maybe I m just a bit crazy. The worst for me is when I m imagining my girlfriend having sex with her privious one night stands. How they are better and with more expiriences. I know she love me and I love her. But those thoughts are just too much and I cannot help to stop thinking it. Sometimes when I m ok I can xomehow handle with them. But when I feel low I became to believe them. It s really scarry
First of all you dont look like an idiot, not one bit!!! I have intrusive thoughts too. One word that repeats itself. It's really scary. It has eased up some but still pops in my head. I completely understand!
