Hello everyone,
I made this throwaway account for a specific problem I've been facing since late March. Despite this being embarrassing and silly, I hope to learn more about the mind and magic through the end of it all. I've unfortunately had a history of OCD.
Though I've gotten better at handling it through meditation, topics around sexuality flare it up it seems. At some point back in summer 2020, I developed anxiety against cuckoldry that I kept fighting until February this year. I got over it by affirming to myself that I am who I choose to be and how my surface layer thoughts aren't who I am.
I thought I got a handle over my OCD, though something else happened. Back in March, I basically forced myself to think about sex. I tried immersing myself in my thoughts as if it was currently happening, just believing something would come of fruition if I believed, felt, and continuously had these thoughts. Then somehow my mind got to worrying about "what if?"
I got to worrying about my potency, even thought I had absolutely no reason to. I would say for a few days I had intrusive negative thoughts around this that I anxiously fought against by affirming my fertility, imagining it, and all that jazz. Ever since I got over that immediate hurdle, I felt like my mind has been in the same state of mind.
My mind won't allow itself to have negative affirming thoughts like "impotent" like I did my first few days and finds that's repulsive, but there's this tinge feeling of anxiety I feel everyday that make me feel compelled to affirm my potency. So I imagine myself impregnating and I guess "feeling" like I'm potent. Then that anxious feeling happens again. I was also worrying about the 40 day mark, but I already passed that.
Even though I believe my intentions are in the right place, I feel like a lunatic and wonder if my emotions impact me regardless. It's like I want to believe I'm okay, but my anxiety and emotions are confusing me. What would even be the difference between belief and emotion in this instance? I'm just really confused. With magic in general, would having these conflicting thoughts, emotions, and intentions just make everything negligible? That's what I'm hoping on. I deeply appreciate any support and points of view, I know this sounds loony and wish nothing more to just get over it all. I've tried fixing and emotionally understanding why it's all silly, but I'm still struggling. Thank you.
