To be frank, the question is asked wrongly. This is what makes to OCD going in it's circles, that you worry about a thought and has to prove that thought wrong. The trick is to stop playing

You go to an OCD specialist, share your symptoms, and they tell you that you aren’t and that you just have POCD, then work on your POCD. I was abused by an actual one when I was a child. He felt NO guilt, shame, remorse, anxiety- nothing negative. He didn’t feel like he was doing anything wrong. He was happy that he was one and took pleasure in harming kids. No one on here thinks that because all I see is high anxiety and depression if they have POCD.

Never give up. Never block any thoughts. If I’m correct is one of your themes that you could become the perpetrator? Do you have the courage to face and admit that. I had to among my many other themes. I’m still heading out the dark tunnel. But I’m also not blocking anything. These triggers must be processed, must be faced, must be allowed to be there as long as they want. It is horrendous but blocking our brain will not allow it to move past them. I wish you well in your recovery.

So I was on a hat chat gpt and it said that people who are non-offenders experience distress and anxiety and disgust and depression and they feel ashamed of being a non-offender like WHAT like that's honestly terrifying and I'm so scared because that's how I've been feeling like when I'm out I get anxiety too especially when I see a younger person I always been attracted to MEN my whole life can people turn into monsters and I don't even care if they have problems if there attracted to kids then there sick in the head like don't care like this has been sharing me soo much and the worst part about it is that they said some are in denial or suppress their attractions I'm so done...... I can not do this this is too much I would rather be gone from this earth than find out that I might be one like you have to be kidding me if you're attracted to young people and desire that you're sick and dead to me you're a monster I don't care like its disgusting. for this eole some people are suffering from POCD like me are scared to think about that and I'm terrified.

I’m really struggling right now. My mind is racing and I’m panicking about the content that I watched in the past because I don’t have a way to ‘prove’ that it was safe and consensual. I stupidly caved in and googled “what happens if an accidentally saw illegal porn” and I ended up making my anxiety so much worse. What if the images I saw in the past had underage people in them? Am I going to jail? Will my ip address be tracked? My brain is making all sorts of scenarios up and they feel so real. At this point I don’t know if I’m a bad person or not, I just feel like something terrible is about to happen. Although I know I’d never intentionally look for that kind of stuff there’s still a chance that I could have seen things without realising, and I actually don’t know what to do. I’m in total panic mode

Also I read on tik tok or twitter that if u still feel connected to younger people that means you’re not progressing or maturing and that’s bad. I’m 25 and I’m at this odd stage in my life where I’m getting older but still feel like I’m 20-22. I feel like I’m behind people that are my age. I think it’s because I’m been bed rotting with severe depression for the past 4 years… but I’m scared this means I’m becoming a pedo in the future.
