• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I accidentally leered at someone and I feel terrible

I was on the train and had just gotten off, I saw someone and promptly had an intrusive thought. I then briefly leered at them for a second before I caught myself and was horrified. This was not a person I had any interest in (inapropriate target) and I can only hope they didn't see me. I feel horrible. I don't really think of anyone that way. (I suspect I have asexual leanings)
My OCD is now insisting that I sexually harassed them and should be punished.
Please pray for me.

I understand how it is with OCD!
