Thank you very much, that same day I also used that same message and it helped me a lot.

I have been in therapy and I have shown improvements but something that scares me is that I feel that I am improving very quickly and that this means that I do not have ocd. Example: Today my head was telling me that I don't have ocd and that I was lying to myself, I decided for the first time that the thought would stay there while I did my things, the problem is that the thought was there for a moment and left, I mean the thought didn't last that long and that scares me. I always have that fear that it won't cost me so much to let my thoughts pass. Also when I think about self-harm I no longer have the desire that I had before and it makes me feel insecure. I'm tired of doubting myself, I just want to live in peace.

I already talked to my brother and he helped me to continue with my things, I'm still worried but I have to move on. Sorry for this and thank you

Thank you but I feel like it's wrong for me to go on with my day. I feel that it is a bad sign

Should I?

I mean what about the future? If it costs me only a few exposures then ocd just goes away? I know I will continue to have this thoughts but they will be very few. Or will other obsessions come that will guide me to do other compulsions?

I don't know what to say... it relieves me but if it's not ocd? I know it sounds like the typical thing a person with ocd would say but I don't know what else to think.

No but it only cost me a few exposures, it's weird and I'm worried about it

Well, I was exposing myself a few times but I feel that my mind no longer tells me anything when I expose myself. I don't understand it, I exposed myself very few times (twice a week in therapy for months) but I already feel that I can do it with ease This has happened with other compulsions, in very few exposures I can already do what I couldn't before. I don't understand what I have then.

Thanks for helping me. It feels like an excuse, how else would I interpret it?. I'll talk to my psychologist to help me understand this more.

But a certain part is true, I felt a groinal response when I kept reading it even knowing that he was younger than me. I know what you mean, to leave the feeling there and continue with what I was doing. But what happened was that I felt those sensations when I saw the character, it wasn't that I confused the situation

I understand now what you mean. Thanks. But I just want to clarify that this situation is not really something that I wanted. It was awkward because he was younger than me, I don't want to seem like I agree with the sensations I had

I did those two compulsions at other times where I didn't want to have them either. I don't understand what you mean, from my perspective I felt uncomfortable and I had a groinal response because of the situation, it really wasn't something I liked, although it felt real.

Thanks for answering. For me it's still ugly, I stopped reading another comic because I also realized that a character was also younger than me by two years. I don't understand how I won't give importance to the groinal response if they are still there even though I don't want to, my only way to remove them is by changing my position or filling my mind with "stop".

I already talked to my other friends and they told me it's normal, it's still uncomfortable for me anyway. I'm felt sorry for my reaction.
