When you say you do something you regret. What do you mean?

If it helps people to have that label then all good. Like SB said, they are all treated the same

Honestly the best forum for advice. They tell it like it is based on evidence. Not just random ideas… mostly

Definitely echo plucking up the courage and talking to her! What’s the worst that can happen

This shows how far you have come you should be really pleased. You recognised it early!

That was a really good post by DV. They are right, people without OcD would just have that thought and then move on without giving it any notice. We are looking for a connection between that thought and any possible action. It doesn’t mean we are a bad person. Just someone with OCD who loves our little ones Hope you are okay?!

This is how my OCD first became apparent to me and when I started to get help. I would have thoughts of hurting my partner. It doesn’t make you a bad person at all!

Keep posting on here, there are so many wonderful people who can help

Definitely recommend asking your husband to look around this site. It can be so difficult for family and friends to properly understand the condition.

Evening, You are definitely looking for some reassurance here, like when you were calling around various lawyers. From what you describe you are clearly not someone who looks for underage porn. Viewing scenes such as stepmom and teacher student scenarios are perfectly normal. It is a fantasy for a lot of people. The actors in these are almost certainly of legal age. The industry is quite well policed nowadays. You need to let it go if you can.

When you are in the middle of it it is not always to see common sense though. Hope you are well.

Amongst friends here

Yes can relate to this!

You’ll believe it one day

Spot on

It’s not an easy thing to get over. If it was we wouldn’t all be here

You can get past this Emma. You know it is the OcD making you think this. A lot of us have been there.

This is all so familiar @Ma29. It is definitely OCD playing tricks on you. Everything you have described is just you caring for your child. It’s the OCD that messes with you. I had the same when teaching my son to use the toilet. you can beat it by just letting it be and carrying on with your day you have got this!

This does get easier. I can not remember how long it lasted for but in time it returned to normal

12 years is a long time to be ruminating Lenno

Hope you are okay. Keep on going

Sometimes it helps to just get it all out doesn’t it. Try not to put pressure on yourself by saying you’ll never have those things again. These things have a way of working themselves out.

You may have made her feel uncomfortable, she did move your hands away, but that isn’t a crime. You didn’t do it with any intention to commit a crime. It was purely something that must happen every night up and down the country. You really can forgive yourself for this .

Hi there, Firstly, you really do not need to call the solicitor. What you may have done is not something that someone who doesn’t suffer from OCD would worry about. Go home and get some rest.

This is such a good post. I hope you were able to get some relief @comfortscorned
