lonelygirl91 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I keep testing scenarios in my head, what if i could do sexual stuff with a girl and my mind makes it seem like I'd want to and enjoy it. Does OCD distort things like this when you mentally test. I get so anxious and depressed by these thoughts. I think vaginas are gross but my mind is what if you really do like them? Link to comment
lonelygirl91 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 When I get the reaction I want like disgust I feel relieved and happy but when I get the opposite I get depressed and anxious. Link to comment
PolarBear Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 This thread is like previous threads, saying the same things and asking the same things. You have been told, repeatedly, that you need to STOP the mental testing. We're not kidding. It's a compulsion and it's keeping you stuck. You really need to work on it. Link to comment

PolarBear Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I'm not going to answer your question because there is no point. I answer, you'll be back here in a few days asking the same thing, again. It's all part of the OCD. Link to comment
lonelygirl91 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 You don't give me answers though. I need to know if OCD twists your mind when you mentally test. I don't know if on some level it's really true and I could desire these thoughts or if it's OCD. Link to comment
paradoxer Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 lonelygirl, the terrible secret is, you don't actually have to engage with the 'question'. Want to suffer less? Be prepared to suffer more. Link to comment

In order to get well, you have to accept that it is an unanswerable question. OCD will ask many more questions after this one. The process of answering the questions is the thing that twists your mind. So stop it. Link to comment

PolarBear Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) You're right. We're not. Because you are caught up in an OCD mindset about this and we're not and can see what is going on. I already told you on this thread why I won't answer your question. I'm not repeating myself. Read it again and let it sink in. Edited January 15, 2019 by PolarBear Link to comment

It is hard, thats true, but its also important. When you notice yourself doing it you have to make the conscious choice to stop. At first it will happen a lot, but over time, if you keep at it, you'll find it easier and easier. 4 hours ago, lonelygirl91 said: You don't give me answers though. I need to know You aren't getting the answers you think you need to know, but thats because we are all here telling you that won't help. We could tell you what you want to hear and it won't change anything, because thats already been done in other threads. Yes the feeling of "needing to know" is strong and feels like you have to have it, just like a smoker feels like they NEED a cigarette. But if you were to NEVER give that person a cigarette they would be fine, in fact they'd be better off for it. Its true, no one is answering your question, and that is frustrating because it feels like you need to know, but really we are not giving you a cigarette. We are withholding something from you that would only make things worse. We wouldn't be helping you if we answered, even though thats hard to believe. Link to comment

From a cognitive POV - an important point - with OCD it's invariably, 'just this time, this ritual, this compulsion ...' Link to comment
