It does get better.

This was one of my ocd themes which I overcame. It was like a feeling of impossible.

I'm still struggling with ocd but this theme was one that really made me want to end it.

Heres how I got better:

1. I exposed myself. And no I didn't watch inappropriate stuff thats illegal... What I did is instead of looking down when I would pick up my sister form school I would look at her and remind myself how much I loved her and how I was once a kid like her, and would never hurt anyone like how I was hurt. I experienced SA which is what I think is linked to the POCD.

2. I was patient. On the worst days when I felt worse than ever I would remind myself that this required compassion and patience for myself. I began to distract myself with work or hobbies and when a thought or image would come up I would shake my head (a compulsion at first but then I had reason to do it) and I would remind myself of what I said in point one.

I hope you all do well, just know you're never alone and you're NOT a freak for having these thoughts. They are INTRUSIVE. INTRUDER.

They do not belong.
