well she is kinda right and also not... there is only the diagnosis of ocd, pocd is the content of your ocd... hocd tocd and rocd exist but are all the same thing -> ocd so if you get a treatment for ocd you will treat pocd pocd is just a manifestation of a mental illness namely ocd hope this helps☺️

If she is an OCD-trained clinician she should know POCD.

Well she says she is. She says stop reading the internet. She says I’m convincing myself I have POCD. I don’t think she believes the thoughts I’m having. I think she thinks it’s not as bad as it is or something. I didn’t tell her the exact thoughts just that I thought I was a pedofile and having horrible disgusting shameful thoughts. I didn’t go into any detail so I’m not sure she realizes or maybe she knows better than me. ?♀️

Does anyone else have trouble with certain words reminding them of the vile thoughts and makes you think of it again. It’s like my brain is taking words and just making stuff up. Like a song I will make it about the thoughts. Does that make sense? It seems super sick!!!!! I don’t know why I would do that. It’s the last thing I want to think about yet my brain is like hey listen to these lyrics now put the word child or something in it and make it gross. Wth!!!!

It feels like I used to get so many intrusive thoughts in the beginning but now it’s less it’s only thoughts like what if I’m a p what if I’m a p what if I’m lying to myself what if I’m in dentist truly in all this and it was all fake like I’m an imposter, now it’s just feelings and noticing :/ and I hate he feelings that come with it I’m really scared I am one I feel so alone :( I’m taking therapy but my therapist is not specialized in ocd and I don’t think she understands and I don’t want to bring it up bc I brought up a fear that what if I turn into my stepdad and she said “are you attracted to children?” And I said no but it was just an irrational thought that came after I started realizing the trauma that happened to me as a kid, and idk I’m scared to Start with a therapists here bc what if all this just makes it worse and it turns out I am what I fear all along.? :(

Hello there. I’m new here and think I may have OCD I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life. However, in my early teens, I started experiencing obsessive fears and engaging in compulsions because my brain convinced me that if I didn’t perform a certain action a specific number of times, it would “prove” that I wanted something terrible to happen. When I was 17, I began seeing a therapist and opened up to her about this. She diagnosed me with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and I accepted the diagnosis But last night, I became curious about whether people with GAD engage in compulsions and have specific fears, so I looked it up. I was shocked to learn that these are not typical characteristics of GAD Now, I would love to find a therapist who specializes in OCD so I can get a formal diagnosis and the appropriate treatment

Today I had my first appointment with my new therapist in a clinic and she told me that my thoughts could be because of my past trauma and that it’s what makes most people pedos. I’m so in distress right now, I don’t want to hurt people but she made me feel like I’m disgusting
