    Backdoor Spike?

    So I've been dealing with awful sexual intrusive thoughts and lately the thoughts have been projecting onto other people. For example tonight, I was watching TV and I had a horrible awful disgusting intrusive sexual thought that involved two characters but not myself. There's was no anxiety and no guilt (I hate typing this) and for second it felt like I was going to laugh or smile about it and that's crazy to me. I've cried buckets and buckets over thoughts like this so why would I ever want to laugh about something I find so horrible? Am I losing it? I just can't seem to win.

    No it's just OCD, like it shows that you've kind of made yourself familiar with your fear and that you no longer start to fear it. For example, I used to be really scared to think about my fears, but now I just remember them and laugh.
    I am sure you will get through this and remember that this is one step forward.
    Just ignore them and understand that they are the same thoughts as before.

    I agree with Viking. I've wrote a load about what I have experienced in resolving mine in this thread which you could look at to see how I experienced changes:

    Think about it from a different viewpoint too - when you are recovering, would you expect to be so badly triggered by them? If so, how could you ever recover at all?
