False attraction

@moonlights Needed this, I’ve had this happen to me which made me compulse. At some point does POCD make you feel like you will act on your urges or actions? even though that has never sat with your beliefs. Before all this, I’ve never focused on pedophilia. Now I’m just so focused, it feels like I’ve accepted the fact that I am a pedo and it doesn’t bother me at all. Like wtf???

@JHBTRY1 Are you asking because you want to know, or because it's a compulsion? A lot of the time when we ask if OCD can do XYZ, it's a compulsion - knowing the answer won't make you feel any better either way, unfortunately.

@Jher55 How is it now ? I’m finding posts from a while back and your posts are helping me @Jher55

@Anonymous I’m in a spot where I’ve never thought I’d ever be. I feel wayyy better and the compulsions and all these what if thoughts, basically everything that my brain told me I was etc, don’t even bat an eye to it. With a therapist and the right tools I was able to manage myself from these thoughts and stuff. I do have unwanted intrusive thoughts but man they don’t even faze me. If so little to none. Sure I get those days where I’m like uggggh these thoughts I hate them, but it only lasts for a couple minutes and then next thing you know I’m just going on with my day. I know who I am and I don’t have to prove anything to ocd. Just have to let it starve by not arguing with it. A good therapist and the exercises. You can get better. OCD makes you second guess yourself. But your values are the same and you don’t need to prove anything to OCD. I know my values and what I stand for and ocd will used to try to say different but I hold my ground to my values. I’m not letting punk ocd try to tell me who I am. Everyone’s journey is different but the end goal is the same. To get better and you can. It’s possible, I believe in you and I know you can do it!!!!!!!!! Let’s freaking go!!!!!!! P.s I was battling with that for about 3 years, I never gave up even when I did feel like I was at my lowest. So if I can do it, you can do it too!! Everyone’s journey is different, for some it may take longer or shorter but regardless it’s about getting better.
