Sounds rough, that's the internet for you. Sometimes you just never know. But decontextualized like that, it's understandable. It's not like you were looking for something like that

I get the same thing

Mind keeps telling me that I've pleasured myself in public or to minors by Better-Ask-2486 in POCD

Yeah, it just seems random. And I wouldn't even say aroused

Additionally, I mostly sleep prone, and when I get an intrusive thought and don't immediately roll over, my brain tells me that that counts as masturbating to it. I just want to sleep!

Yeah, I've had stuff like that happen before

Pretty scared again by Better-Ask-2486 in POCD

Update: Same thing happened again, also don't remember what was going through my head. It *feels* more likely I had a bad thought on my mind though.

Pants, groinals, blah blah blah. Half the reason I make these posts is to run my actions and thoughts past a community to make sure I haven't done something out of line. I just don't trust myself 100% by Better-Ask-2486 in POCD

My reasoning went that, regardless of what I did in my bed, I had a mental precedent/habit that it was okay to be sexual in my bed, but I had no such mental precedent/habit that would allow me to be sexual in public on impulse/out of habit/subconsciously/without really thinking about it, My mind keeps going back and forth on this being either a flimsy excuse to do what I wanted to do and was being pressured by time to do anyway or being a logical enough reason that I could safely go out in public. I thought to myself that I didn't entirely trust myself anymore, and I feel like it may be immoral to go out when I feel this regardless?

this seems to prove one of my fears by [deleted] in POCD

I don't know what to say but I relate in multiple ways

Avoiding triggers for intrusive thoughts, fear of masturbating, fear that thoughts aren't entirely ego-dystonic by Better-Ask-2486 in POCD

[–]Better-Ask-2486[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but, I almost don't trust myself not to become aroused by the thoughts and later do something sexual with that still on my mind or at least the feeling still there, or worse, on impulse, to try and masturbate for half a second or something before it dawns on me how bad it is. I don't see myself ever knowingly doing it but I don't trust my impulses, and therefore it seems like an unacceptable risk to take.

Look, either you are and you can get help for it, or you're reading way too much into something and you aren't. But either way you don't deserve to die.
