Am I an abuser

Go get treated for your OCD.

You have 18 posts, all about sexual obsessions related to being a “bad” person. You search out information to confirm your obsession, e.g. searching a PETA website so you can obsess some more.

The ONLY problem you have is you failing to get therapy or focus on the real issue, your OCD.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply.

I obsess over a good few things but I'm honestly and genuinely trying to fight and deal with my OCD better, without the help of a professional.

Honestly speaking, I'd be a little embarrassed if I went to see somebody. The idea of having somebody sat infront of me and me telling that person what concerns I have would terrify and greatly embarrass me.

I was just wanting to know what people's opinions were?

I know some people have sex with animals and that's up to the individual, whatever makes them happy.

I personally don't want to have sex with any animal nor have I ever wanted to.

I was just worried that I am genuinely a bad, seedy person due to a few things I done as a kid.

I still am to be honest but I know that the OCD plays a large part in overthinking and obsessing.

I love life, am a big animal lover and genuinely want a happy, healthy and hearty life.

I think I read on one of your replies about doing something good and helpful each day, great advice.

Yes, I know. Any person that reads your multiple threads on the same topic knows. And telling you the same answer for the #th time will do nothing to help you.

I encourage anyone that reads this thread to not enable your OCD, by feeding into this moronic obsession you have with being a "bad" person.

Get OFF the Internet. Stop trolling for attention with your obsessive behavior. Go to a therapist, get help. Focus on your OCD.

Whilst I respect your answer I disagree with some parts of it.

I know you've helped me immensely in the past and for that I'm grateful but I'm absolutely not "trolling for attention".

OCD makes you obsess over things whereby sometimes you examine every tiny detail (hence the obsessing) so posting a question regarding something I haven't mentioned before isn't trolling for attention.

I absolutely understand that OCD is a major factor in somebody worrying and worrying (not trolling for attention though and certainly not acting like a moron) and I am gonna try and work a little harder to combat and deal with my OCD a little better.

I have made fantastic progress with the help of my wife and myself without the use of a therapist/professional but every now and again I need a little reassurance if something is worrying me.

I don't think at all this makes me trolling and it certainly doesn't make me a moron.

Thanks for the answer(s) once again, I still don't know if what I did was monstrous or not although I know a lot of people in this day and age would think it was monstrous and maybe sick too hence why I've kept it to myself, well excluding this forum.

I didn't say you are a moron. I said it is a moronic obsession. There is a big difference.

And no...you are not making progress, because here you are once again, posting the same topic, once again trolling.

And yes...you should feel bad, but not about your past behavior. Instead, you should feel horrible about your current behavior. Your current behavior is a drain on your wife, your community. Your current behavior, your obsessive trolling about your past is the real problem. You keep focusing on your past as being "bad" when actually it is today, NOW that is bad, unacceptable behavior.

Think of all the pain you are causing your wife. Is the not bad? Think of all the other people that must dedicate their time to dealing with your current behavior. That is what is sad. That is where your mind should focus. If you want to feel bad, feel bad about what you are doing to your family and your community today.

Your post is "Am I an abuser" and the answer is that you are currently abusing others with your obsessive behavior.

Hello,

Thanks for that last reply, even if it was a little direct (although sometimes direct is the best way).

I don't use the term moronic very often so forgive me for my misunderstanding.

Although I respect your reply and your advice/guidance I definitely disagree with you with regards to making progress. I was a lot worse and have made big progress, how much progress I've made is important because I know there's still a lot more progress to be made and I'm working hard to make that progress. With regards to trolling again that's a word I don't use a lot but my view of trolling and what it means makes me disagree with you.

I don't feel bad about my current behaviour at all as I know in this day and age there is a lot of negative mental health, with the world the way it is today a lot of people suffer with negative mental health so I think feeling bad is catastrophically wrong. I don't think you should overthink and worry excessively which is what I do (guilty as charged) though but i am genuinely and honestly working on making more progress. I agree to an extent with what you're saying regarding the past and firmly believe the present moment and the future is more important.

My wife knows I suffer with ocd but doesn't know alot of the concerns I have (or overthinking worries) so I don't think in the slightest I'm abusing her. The same applies to my community.

Overall I know what I must do it's just sometimes the OCD which I don't like at all flares up and I'll overthink on something which is most likely or was most likely something harmless and most definitely not sinister or sly in any way, shape or form.

I respect and appreciate and am grateful for your replie(s) both on this post and in the past, you have honestly and genuinely helped me a lot and given me tremendous peace of mind and although I disagree with you on some things I can absolutely appreciate, see, understand and agree with what you're saying.

Sorry if my post angered you in any way, without sounding like I'm rolling over I most definitely did not intend to do that nor did I crave attention. The OCD flared up and I ran for reassurance, what I should have maybe done is fought it and questioned it.

I'm gonna start and watch some YouTube videos, they look pretty good. A female therapist has made some and they look pretty good.

Thanks once again for the advice, guidance, help and general time. I know you don't at all have to reply or take the time.

Cheers,

Si

My point was and still is that your “feeling bad” was about your past behavior, when in fact if you were going to feel bad, then it should be about your current behaviors which are unacceptable.

Just because others in a community are also sick, because others also have the flu doesn’t make it okay for you to go around coughing all over everyone. It is immature to point towards others and say, “They are sick, they are coughing, they are draining the community of resources, so it’s okay if I do so as well.”

My comments regarding abuse where again drawing the distinction between past and present. You are thinking about how you might have possibly coughed on somebody in the past, while not feeling the slightest bit bad about coughing on people right now, today!

So you have finally started getting the rest you need? And you are even covering your mouth when you cough? Good for you. Seriously.

Point being, getting sick is not the problem. In life, everyone gets sick once in a while. But, up until this latest post there were no indications that you were doing anything to get better. Your behaviors were unacceptable, in that you kept repeating the same posts about some past event, while failing to recognize the impacts it has on those around you in your current life.

In fact, you still seem to minimize the impact of your sickness on those currently around you, those that must deal with your behaviors. You rationalize that because others are sick and because they cough on others, that this then makes your behavior of coughing on others okay. It doesn’t.

It makes your behaviors understandable, but it doesn’t make your behaviors okay.

And you still have “a lot more progress to be made”? So you are going to continue impact others around you for how long? When will you finally be over your cold? You might wish to believe that your illness is confined to only impacting you, but that is not true. Others have to negotiate your sickness, whether you wish to believe it or not.

Heck, consider me dealing with your illness. Like your wife, I understand your behaviors. I choose to volunteer my time to engage with you. This doesn’t make your behaviors okay, just because we are understanding and willing to sacrifice time for you instead of using that same time to help other people instead. In other words, your illness isn’t just a you issue. Other people become involved.

Anyway, I’m glad you feel like you are making progress. As stated, this most recent post does seem better than previous posts.

Hi my friend ocd is not an incurable problem , no you need just some time with a psychiatrist and you well become normall , good luck

I know some people have sex with animals and that's up to the individual, whatever makes them happy.

Oh really? Ever considered animals as with children do not give consent to have someone have sex with them. So, their happiness is a result of another suffering.
As for your OCD, you seek reassurance without utilising it as much as you seek it. This becomes a merry go round because you just seek more and do less. You seem selfish to me and that's not OCD, that's your personality imo. Your wife must have the patience of Jobe.

That's sick to be honest! You should be in jail. Animal rape should be a charge. You are sick and anyone else that does that type of stuff is sick minded.

How about you actually read the thread. There was no animal rape.
