@Nonamehelp If you want, read my post from a few hours ago if you can find it. I’m dealing with both pocd and real event and it’s terrifying. You are not alone and I hope we can all feel better soon

@Just Breathe ❤️ I saw it and I think u did nothing wrong it was an impulse did u do it years ago or recently?

@Nonamehelp It was years ago I believe. I had a stupid tickling fetish as a teenager and when I tickled my niece I just kept doing and I know it’s a normal thing and people do it all the time and yeah there’s probably nothing wrong with that but what if I was aroused or I violated her in some way because she kept telling me to stop. I feel so guilty ya know? I just don’t understand why did my life ever come to this. I love my little niece and would NEVER harm her. I don’t think I felt anything maybe my ocd is just trying to convince me I did but it was the fact I had a fetish growing up and I used to do that without any thought about it. It had nothing to do with her at all if I was aroused just by the fetish itself but like I said I don’t think I was I think my ocd is just trying to make me think I was because it was something that I was into at one point. I know it’s a normal thing and everyone does it at one point or another. I don’t know what’s wrong with me anymore. Could be pocd playing against me? Idk

@Just Breathe ❤️ No you didn’t since ure here and talk about It you making an effort to be better but reassurance isn’t good keep saying “I have to live with the uncertainty” “ accept the worst case scenario” and try to let go and say when these thoughts pop “oh my ocd is talking haha” don’t try to argue with your ocd

@Nonamehelp That’s true. I guess it doesn’t matter what anyone tells me it’s always going to be there bothering me unless I accept the uncertainty which is so hard with this theme. I will try my best. Thank you for your help and I hope you feel better too soon!

Be honest with me, I don't know where else to ask this, I have real "event"(thoughts) OCD? where I used to have bad thoughts but at the time, I figured because I'd never act on them, that I shouldn't feel guilty as they are just thoughts. Nowadays I feel disgust with my thoughts and worry what if I do ever act on them even though I don't want to. I would never ever intentionally harm someone but I've heard that these thoughts can form into actions, is that true?

Especially if you have a past of not feeling guilt about thoughts (even though the reason I didn't feel guilt was bc I figured, hey, you have no desire to act on them).

@ViVampire🧛🏻♀️ That happened to me if u can read my other posts today. I had no remorse as a teenager and child and did some stuff which I would never do now, I acted on them without a conscious but now I have a lot and regret it, don’t worry u never did anything DONT make yourself feel bad for nothing that even happened, and thoughts are just thoughts.

What if you did something so extremely awful and horrible as a child but you didn’t know how horrible the events were that your POCD and real events OCD targets? Does it make the intrusive thoughts true? The POCD real events were extremely awful and horrible... no way around... it genuinely was extremely awful and horrible... I gag and v0mit even thinking about it... its that horrible... I'm getting anxious from my POCD and real event OCD based on real events (3 times) from when I was 14... I had a surface level idea of what these real events were when I was 14... but I didnt understand nor truly know the depth and consequences or how horrible these real events were... I don't ever want to ever be a P at all… I don't ever want to ever be a Chomo at all... i don’t ever want to ever be a rapist at all… I was 14 when these real events happened and now I'm 23... I've asked my mom about this so many times and every time she tells me that it's not serious anymore, that the person is okay and doesnt remember, and that I'm not a rapist or a P or a chomo... I didn’t realize how horrible the real events actually were… I was 14 at the time… now I’m 23… my POCD and real event OCD call me a P or a chomo because of the real events… while my mom reassures me all the time that it’s all over, that it’s not serious anymore, that the person is okay, and that I’m not a P or a rapist or a chomo, but when I was doing compulsive research, I remember when I saw a post on a non OCD forum about someone’s similar situation to mine and two people said to the person that they m*lested and that they needed to turn themselves in… I don’t ever want to ever be a P or a chomo in any way shape or form… i didn’t know how horrible the real events were when I was 14… I really didn’t… and after the real events I never did anything like that ever again, and I never once ever thought (before, and after) about doing stuff with kids in any way shape or form... I never once fantasized about kids or wanted to do anything with kids… I was 14 and didn’t realize how horrible the actions were at the time and I never did it ever again… I never once fantasized about kids before or after the real event… I don't ever want to ever harm a child in any way shape or form... I seriously don't ever want to do that to any child in any way shape or form and I seriously don't ever want to do anything like that to any kid now or in the future… I never have had any fantasies about kids and I don't ever want to... I don't ever want to ever be a P or a chomo in any way shape or form... I was 14….. and after the real events I never did anything like that ever again, and I never once ever thought (before, and after) about doing stuff with kids in any way shape or form... I never once fantasized about kids or wanted to do anything with kids… I was 14 and didn’t realize how horrible the actions were at the time and I never did it ever again… I never once fantasized about kids before or after the real event… And it’s comparing me to actual P’s and chomo’s who did stuff from 12-15 and then did stuff as adults, and making me think I’m a P and a Chomo because of it… I don’t ever want to ever be a P or a chomo in any way… 😭😭😭 I had a surface level idea of what these real events were when I was 14 because someone told me what these real events were before... but I didnt understand nor truly know the depth and consequences or how horrible these real events were... i truly didnt... I dont ever want to ever be what my pocd and real events ocd say I am... I dont ever want to be a P or a Chomo in any way... im so so scared... these real events were so extremely horrible and awful and worse than people realize... i g4g and v0mit and lie awake at night even thinking about them... thats how horrible and awful these mistakes were... I dont ever want to ever be a P or a MAP or a Chomo or a r4pist or anything like that... im so so so so so so so so so so triggered and scared and anxious...

Yup! Been like this February,worst Part is that I was intoxicated and in a bad place my thoughts were going totally insane,my 8 year old niece spend the night with me and my intrusive thoughts were telling me to molested her and all of the above ☝🏻 I do remember staring at her for a while and thinking 💭 If I did something to her she would probably say it or she would wake up,it gave me a good sense of relieve but now and since then …I can’t fully remember if I did,just for the”hmm let’s test this out and see if she would actually wake up” kind of like those,,,I wonder if u pull a dogs tail he would turn around and bark or bite me,trust me…shit like that would backfire at you and I haven’t really been at peace since then…I try to also control My self and try to use uncertainty but to be honest the vision and memory are so real like very vivid as if it happens so for me it did happend and I feel Horrible,I currently in my mid 30’s and these thoughts lash out f nowhere since I was 26,somehow I knew how to manage them,I would Do Compulsions as avoiding my niece and any type Of kid,I would Get extremely paranoid when I had to change her diapers and could do something to harm her.i never been attracted to children in my life,yes! Unfortunately i was molested sexually as a kid by a man from ages 6-9 and one of the things that would Kill Me and trigger me would be the fact that I wonder why? Why do they do that why ? What do they feel ?! And for my disadvantage….im Like the kid that you tell Them”don’t push that red button or else…🚨🧨💣🤯” and guess what?! My Hyperactive dumb ass is still Gonna push the button cause I wanna know what the hell is gonna happend for my self,and I feel that I did something g that I will regret my whole Life! Sometimes when I’m calmer I think with logic and see things from another perspective but then ocd and paranoia kicks in and it’s exhausting and mentally draining!so Guess what?! It sucks! This sucks! to live like this and having to live with the …”what ifs,did I or Did I not!?” But u aren’t alone friend just know theirs plenty of us out there Worst part of all this i havent been able.to fill in the gaps and it makes me.feel like a monster,did i molested my niece in her sleep,what if.my intentions were actually bad,im the kind of person that a thought can be morbid and I have tp figure it out,so when I think to my that I do something it's because I was clearly thinking okay let me.tedt.my self or see if I do feel.something and that shit will backfire on you BAD! Because then I will think*what kind of a human being on earth wpuld.do something like that?!* and it triggers me bad,I mean really bad like anxiety and panick attacks and not wanting to live with my self with this guilt!idk if there's someone else out there with a case like this bit if their is please dont make me feel that im alone, not looking for reassurance just support
