it’s so wierd cos when i see a good looking child my pocd tells me i’m attracted to them bur it’s like a feeling and i feel really anxious and i try to convince myself i don’t find them attractive, but like i feel sick at the thought of like ever wanting to d anything sexual/ or be with them or anything, i just think there nice looking ir whatever, it’s nit even like thoughts anymore it’s more like false attraction/ intrusive feelings. please tell me someone else relates as i’ve been reading articles about p3dos and stuff as i thoight it would help me and it’s just triggerd me more and i cant even enjoy anything anymore as it’s all i can think about, i don’t ever want to be a p and it’s honestly the worst thing ever when will it all stop??

I understand exactly what you’re going through, trust me I’ve been there you’re not alone. If you see a good looking child your ocd will basically try to torture you and make you think that you are attracted to this child sexually and this what your ocd brain does, but if you use your logical brain you know deep down if you were alone with a child you would NEVER harm them. I’ve been suffering with pocd for as long as 2 years and it gets better trust me what helps me is stop the avoidance of children and to have trust in yourself, because when you get the exposure you it’s helps to get rid of the ocd intrusive thoughts and makes you have more confidence with who you are.

You’re so not alone.. mine also is mostly intrusive feelings and not thoughts.. but it really depends on the day. Recently my ocd settles more out in intrusive toubrs about supporting p’s, cause i think some p’s who don’t do bad atuff, i feel sorry for them cause they didn’t choose for this. And I also saw once a video of an older man (just looking for that man) and he was saying some illegal stiff ig (don’t remember 100% and it makes me crazy) and I remember liking it cause it was an older man, but i just feel that way about older man and now I’m afraid cause it was because of that and now I’m just going crazy.. my mind i only see black and I can’t figure it out

You are so not alone. I feel the same exact way. Gives me relief that I’m not the only one 😹
