you are so brave! If you can just know your a spiritual warrior and there are many out there living with this too: ) I also know those thoughts can be so terrible! After my husband and I married I had horrid thoughts that I would stab him.I would burst into tears cause i loved him why would i have these thoughts? I was afraid to hold a knife. I know it sounds awful to someone who doesn’t have intrusive ocd thoughts. But the key is know they are only thoughts. They wont happen. I have found that my ocd is always there but I can call it know for what it is. I also will use humor. When a sick image comes up no mater how awful, perverted dark and distorted i just look at it and even try to make a comedy out of it. Wow my ocd is really creative today. It sort of takes that fear away. But it takes practice.

also meditation. If you can find someone to teach you? or a local place to learn?
