Guilt is one of the bigger things that keep us locked into our OCD. Our subtypes can give us so much guilt and shame and make us feel as if we compulsively try to solve it, that we will eventually be free of the thoughts. It’s important to take the time to recognize that your guilt is a trick through your OCD to make you question your reality. Having core values at these times are important because you can remember that your OCD might be sticky in these moments because it’s making you question the kind of person you are. Maybe you value being a good person, so OCD is locking in. Take this time to remember that OCD isn’t reality.

This is called “meta-ocd” which is doubting your diagnosis. OCD is the doubting disease, so of course you may even begin to doubt your diagnosis. Why? Because if it’s not ocd then you truly must be a pedo. So your POCD is using that fear to even begin to doubt the OCD label. There is no concrete way to prove whether you have it or not. But people have created a set of symptoms that are associated with OCD. Because mental illnesses are really just an umbrella of a plethora of complex symptoms, rumination over the diagnosis itself is not helpful. As for the guilt aspect, it is a normal human emotion. Your OCD is using the emotion of guilt to bully you. I don’t wanna give you reassurance so I will stop here but just know you deserve love and kindness.

Pocd and gut feelimg
Ive vented a lot to a lot of people in the PM's about my OCD... some of them younger (minors)... because I wanted reassurance from everyone and anyone... but this situation triggers me the most because I was venting about my 18+ HOCD situations... In an HOCD support group I was in, I vented to 2 minors about my 18+ HOCD situations... The leader of the support group (that i vented to) was 17... I was 19 at the time... the other minor i vented to was younger (14-15)... the younger one told me she was uncomfortable when i vented to her in the PM's twice... i stopped and blocked her after she told me the second time... i kept asking the leader of the support group for reassurance for my 18+ HOCD situations for months because she kept giving me reassurance... i thought she was cute but didnt pursue her because of my age... i dont ever want to ever be a P or a MAP or a groomer in any way... I keep getting this gut feeling in my stomach that i "flirted" with the younger one that I vented to, who i blocked after she told me twice she was uncomfortable about me venting about my 18+ hocd situations... i didnt ever vent to them for malicious intent... I was trying to get reassurance for my hocd... Plus my pocd keeps saying I cant have any opinions online because of my pocd and real events ocd situations and that Im not a good person so I cant say anything online... Also i keep getting intrusive thoughts of people labelling me as a P and a MAP in the future because of these pocd real events... And i keep getting intrusive thoughts of being outcasted and "cancelled" online when someone "exposes" me for my POCD and real events OCD...

OCD Guilt
I can’t help but feel so anxious because of guilt. I feel guilty about not sharing everything about my OCD to my partner, but because I understand that confession itself is a compulsion and would not help anyone. I feel so anxious too that if all my fears come true and she finds out, then it would be so devastating for everyone especially her. Does anyone feel the same thing? How could I change my perspective on this?
