I don’t know where to go from here

[Dunlop55Participant]

I’m completely just lost right now I don’t think this is OCD anymore. I tested myself and looked at vidoes, I tried this 4 times in the last day and what if it feels wrong? I have no anxiety to this just depression as to how this has happened. I don’t get that [Edited by Moderators]? Iv tried to recreate this by thinking of animals or something else but it doesn’t work. I just feel like this isn’t real I don’t understand why I’m not anxious or panicking about this. I turned it on and imagined I was [edited by Moderators] and it felt as if I wanted it? This hasn’t happened to me before? I’m just so lost and confused right now that this could happen? I never thought this could happen. Like I said I don’t feel anxious or anything when I watch it or try to forget it so I can’t say if it is a response.
