I have harm and pedophilia ocd… it started when i was very young. Since then, i have done a lot pf research and study.. i have come to the conclusion that OCD is fear of nothing. Thoughts are weightless, unimportant, invisible substance that will never happen or become reality.
YOURE RIGHT! Somehow it is so hard to think this way but when you finally put it like that and actually realize it it’s just ridiculous how much we are scared.
@snva Yeah, it is very very hard. But with years, you become more knowledgeable and wiser. I am 34 now… when this started i was 16.
But the Fear is real although the danger is not. That's why OCD is am anxiety disorder.
i’m a minor and struggle with the same kinds of ocd, it’s really scary but this gives me hope to eventually be able to come to that mindset
@hellokytty Hello! I know what you are going through can cause a lot of distress. I recommend to see a psychiatrist. They have Medicine that really works. At least it did for me. Wish you the best of luck in your life. And trust me the thoughts will diminish and will become so silent that you will be able to keep on with your normal life.
@Libertad8412@ i just seen your comment to someone else, i am the same age yours started and this really gives me a lot of hope thank you so much! i have a team working with me right now and i think soon they are going to bring in someone that specializes with ocd for me and the next psychiatrist appointment i have im going to tell them i NEED something!
@hellokytty Yes of course. I think that’s a good idea. I am glad my comment gave u conform. Please feel free to reach out if you need help.
@hellokytty Comfort*

Problem with thoughts at least mine. It puts me on high alert and I just can't step down
So I've had OCD since I was a child. Like really young. The first intrusive thought I can remember was when I was 5. It just keeps getting worse and lately they've been making me physically ill or throwing me into extreme panic attacks again ( ones where I can't move my body ) the other night I thought God was trying to kill me because I was thinking about ending myself from OCD+ life issues but in reality I was just having a panic attack😭😭it affects me daily. It gets a little better with therapy but I don't see therapy coming into my life any time soon and I'm not even sure if I would want to go (for multiple reasons). To wrap this up if you have severe ocd can you tell me what it's like?? I don't want to label anything without proper research and hearing others perspectives. Thank you!! <3 (My profile says all of my subtypes if that helps any)
Don't panic, you're still the same girl, your OC gives you a lot of intrusive thoughts that aren't you and that disgust you and scare you and that you don't want and that you don't think are true, and your OC gives you the false feelings.Also, don't forget that whatever comes to mind, whatever intrusive thoughts you have and whatever you feel, is all yours.
Trying not to seek reassurance, but rather connect the dots on my OCD and possible reasons as to why I am the way I am. I have severe OCD (or at least I hope I do) mainly surrounding POCD. I've had symptoms of OCD the majority of my life but this theme has come up more recently. When I was a kid, and i'm talking 6-7, I was first exposed to some really gross adult content online. It was introduced to me by a friend of mine around the same age of me. I saw some really disgusting things that a 6-7 year old should definitely not see. This was not a one time occurrence, as I had been exposed to taboo topics online years to come after that, such as the same friend introducing me to Omegle... And i'm sure you can imagine how that went, theres a lot of genuinely disgusting human beings on there. Coming back to the reason for making this post; is it possible to early exposure to this content could be one of the reasons I struggle with POCD? It genuinely scares me to death because you hear that real p*dos dealt with simular situations when they were kids, so thats kind of making me feel that this could be more than OCD, and I could be a genuinely bad person. My POCD feels so real, that at times i'm fully convinced its not OCD. Sometimes I can't even distinguish the feelings of attraction between a younger person and an older person, except for the feeling of anxiety and fear. Its really hard to explain without going into detail, but it just feels so real. Some feedback on this would be great, thank you all.
