I just like to have everyone know there not alone. I've had so much subtypes of ocd I was a mess I didn't ever think I was gonna be able to get better. But I did and all you really gotta do is ask for help and be honest.

This has been one of my biggest fears, but I’ve never started therapy in the first place. I can’t say much of help because of that but I imagine she’d at least not judge you for it. As a therapist, she’s probably seen/heard a lot, including actual pedophiles. Idk, just a thought! Sorry

If you don't be honest with your therapist an tell her the true problem. She won't be able to help you. I was in the same situation as you I was scared embarrassed had guilt. But once you open up an tell her you'll get the weight off your shoulders an she will be able to help you with your true problem. Believe me I'm in a way better place ever since I was honest with my therapist and phyctrist.

Sounds like me, I just continue telling my therapist I'm all fine even though I'm not. Scared what he's gonna think about me when I tell him about my POCD etc etc.

I totally get where you are coming from. Is your therapist an OCD specialist?

I used to have the sexual intrusive thoughts stuff, and let me just tell you that it isSOOO common in OCD that therapists know to look for it. Like, my therapist flat out asked me if that was one of my worries, so while I get the fear, please know that they are trained not to judge

Still not feeling okay
Last year I used and app to talk about my POCD and people called me a pedo and told me to kill myself. It has been months and I had even forgotten about it, but I talked about my mom yesterday and I feel a sense of doom now. Like, I could have lived my life normally, but this happened. I feel overhelmed, and don't know exactly what to do, cuz when I stop to think about it, it is something awful, but I spend months just not caring, I don't know what to do, it was not even close to the worst thing that has ever happened to me, but it still feels terrible, it keeps echoing in my mind, and It won't go away, and yes I know it is OCD, I just want to let It go. And I lied somethings to my mom cuz if I told the whole truth she would be even more heartbroken (I just didn't say what app it was and I said it was recently, and not months ago) And I feel bad, but now I can't go back, but if I told her the whole truth, she would've just broke down. Basically she thinks it was yesterday and in another app, and I told her I just commented on something. But I feel so bad! I don't want to tell the truth to her, but also, I don't know...

Anxious about starting Therapy
My name is Abbey and I’m a 14 year old girl struggling with OCD, I don’t like to say my OCD is severe but it’s the truth. I haven’t been officially diagnosed but I’m still being treated for it kinda via medication by my doctor. The reason I’m nervous about starting my therapy journey is I’m worried the therapist won’t understand what im saying or take it the wrong way and think I’m a bad person even though I know I’m a good hearted person. If you have any tips to overcome my fear of therapy please share! ✌️🧡

New therapist
Today I had my first appointment with my new therapist in a clinic and she told me that my thoughts could be because of my past trauma and that it’s what makes most people pedos. I’m so in distress right now, I don’t want to hurt people but she made me feel like I’m disgusting
