I don’t know if I can do this much longer
I was a disgusting disgusting child. I don’t think I deserve to have this life knowing how horrible I am.. I can’t get my real event out of my head

I am also thinking like "i wasn't a good child" I think we all made mistakes when we were children. I know it is hard, I am also struggling but we need to understand that everyone don't have to know everything, everyone made mistakes, made horrible mistakes but those mistakes are not the end of the world. When I was a child I saw my brother topless from reflection of computer screen and I looked knowingly. I don't remember before and after the incident. Probably I didn't feel anything "wrong" but now i feel like it was a horrible mistake and I need to confess it to my brother. But we shouldn't feed our compulsions, therefore I am not gonna tel anything about it to my family, it is harmful. By the way when I was a kid I also catch my brother looking at me when I was changing my clothes but he close his eyes when he saw that I saw him. This is same thing but I dont feel angry to him, I can understand him because we both were children and these things can happen. Maybe knowing that you are not alone may help, have a nice day.
I hope we can understand ourselves as we understand other people

Hi- I am so sorry you are struggling with this kind of intrusive thought chain. Looking back at even minute moments of our past that give us anxiety can be debilitating. If it brings you some comfort, I truly believe that interest is normal for children. Especially going through puberty kids become more interested in how physiology and bodies are different. You looking at your brother shirtless or him looking at you changing is not gross. Please don’t hate yourself for something so innocent. But I do not mean to invalidate your feelings. I just truly feel you could benefit from talking some of these out with a therapist so you can see how these actions do not make you “disgusting”. I struggle with other things that make me feel “gross” or similar so I cannot judge you for what moments impact you today. But I send my support 🩶
@PurpleWings380 I was not going through puberty, I was 6. It involves playing dr with my friend. I did therapy on NOCD for over a year
Thank you so much actually hearing this from someone else felt really nice
hey, i'm really sorry to hear you're feeling this way. it sounds incredibly tough to be stuck with those thoughts, but remember, your past doesn't define your worth or your future. 🌱 have you heard about "unstuck"? it's an ai-powered therapy tool at unstuckmyOCD.com that's been super helpful for me recently. another member here recommended it, and i honestly wish i'd found it sooner. might be worth checking out for some support.
@TanyaShelby22 Oh cool I’ll check it out
Hindsight is a b*tch. You were a child and learning about the world. Sometimes we do stupid things when younger while trying to figure it all out. Sometimes it makes little to no sense. It's usually not the case of "I should've known better", but more " if you don't know, you won't know".
17f I have a lot of events, but my main and my worst one which is absolutely fucking diabolical was done when I was 14 and repeated when I was 16. Everytime I post something about real event ocd here people are like you are probably didn't do anything that bad, and when they hear what I did they are like yeah that's bad. Someone even asked me if I'm autistic cause "it's crazy how you didn't realize that the thing ypu were doing was wrong at this age." And I kinda agree, like it's fucked up It's just that my event is bad. Doesn't mean I don't have real event ocd. You can have a reocd over the event that was bad, it doesn't mean the event wasn't that bad or you don't have recod. It's just people always expect it to be something innocent and it's not Even a healthy person would feel guilty over it, it's just that I had ocd my whole life and it's making the guilt absolutely destructive, like to the point when I sometimes have a hard time breathing when I think about it, I lost more than a year of life to it, almost checked myself out couple of times if I wasn't so scared of pain/failure, the event haunts me in my dreams, it's in my head 24/7 and I will never able to forgive myself. That ocd. But the event itself was bad. So maybe i deserve it.
I know this isn’t healthy but I’m in a really bad place. If I actually did something so disgusting I don’t deserve to live. I know me dying would just cause more pain but I feel it’s what I deserve. I confessed on here, which I know I shouldn’t have, but being ignored is making me worry that my actions were actually unacceptable
What if you did something so extremely awful and truly horrible as a child but you didn’t know how horrible the events were that your POCD and real events OCD targets? Does it make the intrusive thoughts true? The POCD real events were extremely awful and horrible... no way around... it genuinely was extremely awful and horrible... I gag and v0mit even thinking about it... its that horrible... I'm getting anxious from my POCD and real event OCD based on real events (3 times) from when I was 14... I had a surface level idea of what these real events were when I was 14... but I didnt understand nor truly know the depth and consequences or how horrible these real events were... I don't ever want to ever be a P at all… I don't ever want to ever be a Chomo at all... i don’t ever want to ever be a rapist at all… I was 14 when these real events happened and now I'm 23... I've asked my mom about this so many times and every time she tells me that it's not serious anymore, that the person is okay and doesnt remember, and that I'm not a rapist or a P or a chomo... I didn’t realize how horrible the real events actually were… I was 14 at the time… now I’m 23… my POCD and real event OCD call me a P or a chomo because of the real events… while my mom reassures me all the time that it’s all over, that it’s not serious anymore, that the person is okay, and that I’m not a P or a rapist or a chomo, but when I was doing compulsive research, I remember when I saw a post on a non OCD forum about someone’s similar situation to mine and two people said to the person that they m*lested and that they needed to turn themselves in… I don’t ever want to ever be a P or a chomo in any way shape or form… i didn’t know how horrible the real events were when I was 14… I really didn’t… and after the real events I never did anything like that ever again, and I never once ever thought (before, and after) about doing stuff with kids in any way shape or form... I never once fantasized about kids or wanted to do anything with kids… I was 14 and didn’t realize how horrible the actions were at the time and I never did it ever again… I never once fantasized about kids before or after the real event… I don't ever want to ever harm a child in any way shape or form... I seriously don't ever want to do that to any child in any way shape or form and I seriously don't ever want to do anything like that to any kid now or in the future… I never have had any fantasies about kids and I don't ever want to... I don't ever want to ever be a P or a chomo in any way shape or form... I was 14….. and after the real events I never did anything like that ever again, and I never once ever thought (before, and after) about doing stuff with kids in any way shape or form... I never once fantasized about kids or wanted to do anything with kids… I was 14 and didn’t realize how horrible the actions were at the time and I never did it ever again… I never once fantasized about kids before or after the real event… And it’s comparing me to actual P’s and chomo’s who did stuff from 12-15 and then did stuff as adults, and making me think I’m a P and a Chomo because of it… I don’t ever want to ever be a P or a chomo in any way… 😭😭😭 I had a surface level idea of what these real events were when I was 14 because someone told me what these real events were before... but I didnt understand nor truly know the depth and consequences or how horrible these real events were... i truly didnt... I dont ever want to ever be what my pocd and real events ocd say I am... I dont ever want to be a P or a Chomo in any way... im so so scared... these real events were so extremely horrible and awful and worse than people realize... i g4g and v0mit and lie awake at night even thinking about them... thats how horrible and awful these mistakes were... I dont ever want to ever be a P or a MAP or a Chomo or a r4pist or anything like that... im so so so so so so so so so so triggered and scared and anxious... I also did something at the age of 13 that was horrible... they asked me if i did it or not, but me being 13 and not knowing what i did was wrong and horrible, i denied it because i was scared... ive lived in guilt for so long... i dont love myself... and I genuinely cant stomach the idea that im still here... I feel so guilty and horrible...
