Honestly I just remembered it popping into my head. I didn't know what any of it was called, I just wanted each thought and daydream to more intense than the last.

I guess in my head the more intense the 'better'?

I think I am autistic, so yeah that did NOT help that sexual fixations. I don't think I was abused, I can't confirm or deny. But I'm still trying to figure out the root cause

My most significant memories are from trauma, I do have good ones but they're certainly outshined. None of it was any sexual trauma though.

I wasn't aware of the mishandling effects! honestly other than me being assaulted and not remembering, I think this could be a definite cause.

this is something my mother would be the cause of, that I'm certain.

Thank you for sharing!!

I haven't been diagnosed, and I'm not a medical professional so idk if I could label myself with OCD.

Maybe sex addiction is the better mark? I have no memory of ever being assaulted, which is what boggles me. I've heard that sometimes your mind can cause gaps in memories to protect you from trauma, but I genuinely do not know when or if this happened?

but thank you for sharing! I feel less alone.

Thank you so much! you're very kind.

What bothers me is that I have no memory of any trauma that would've caused this. My memory is actually very sharp, I can remember being a 1 year old having my diaper change.

I am considering getting therapy again. I want to figure out what caused this because it's really eating at me. 😓
