Thank you guys so much. You’re the best, truly :( Well, I guess il just have to wait and see. If it’s okay, can I chat on this thread next week if I get anxious? I always feel better after ‘getting it out’ I guess!
One here
I’m 20 as of six days ago BUT I first got pOCD when I was 17 :\
here
I just worry that as I grow older into an adult, I’ll continue to be interested in the age I like now. Or like, their ‘baby faces’ before they become an adult. Do you guys get this?
oh yes , i get something similar that 'toddlers are just young adults' which is a true statement lol but its so creepy to me
Yes
i’ve had pocd since i was 9-10 :)
i’m 14 and have had it since i was 13, still struggling!
Fucking me!
Realx. Fear is what ocd uses against you also you are not a ped for thinking a boy 2 years younger is cute and you like him. But remember you said “I don’t wnat to” and ocd won’t use something that is important against you. So obviously it’s going to try to convince you whatever it takes and bring fear and doubt and feelings to suck you back into it’s circle but remember who you are as a person. You can do it❤️❤️
Hey guys! It’s nice to have people of a similar age to relate to. I’m 15 and I freak out a lot when I like someone a year or so younger as that’s a gap that divides kids and young adults! Puberty is a weird time and I just constantly worry about if I have had or WILL have crushes on pre-pubescent boys :(
Oh lord! Well done for being so strong. You’ve got this! :)
Can I have some advice? Sorry to bother. I’m going away next week and there’s a boy coming. I remember 2 years ago he came and I found him quite fun etc. I’m 15 now and I know that he’s 2 years younger, so he’s 13 I presume. I’m terrified that I’ll go and develop a crush on him! I tend to like funny ‘rebellious’ boys, and he’s like that. But he’s younger and arhsjsjshhs I don’t want to like him! I always enjoy this holiday but I know that I won’t now, which sucks.
Exactly what above said! Also he’s only 2 years younger, that doesn’t mean anything hun! If you do or don’t it is nothing to be super anxious about! But also remember your OCD tries to convince you of things! Complicated but you can do it I believe in u!
of course but asking for reassurance (even accidentally) or confessing are both compulsions so try to stay away from that and just accept yourself❤️
I'm scared to post this on here, but I haven't seen anyone else talk about it, so I'm wondering if anyone else on here suffers from POCD? I really need to know I'm not alone. If anyone has good tips/resources for coping that'd be great. I don't have an OCD specialist anywhere near where I live. I do see a therapist who has been helping, but I still feel incredibly alone.
Has anyone ever struggled with POCD with one specific child?? I’m kind of struggling with this right now
hey, are there any young teenagers who have questions about socd? i’m a 18 year old who recovered at 15, so i experienced it at a young age. maybe someone wants to talk about something, so i’m here for you guys :)
