same here, its just a bullshit disorder.....there is no logic at all Just accept the thoughts without responding I hate when people say that OCD is a coping mechanism.... yeah right.... for what? I never suffered worse in my life then OCD itself so what is the purpose of coping ?

You aren’t what your anxiety and self doubt is trying to tell you these things are purely just our brains trying to get us to fall under all the pressures you aren’t these things your a human being and you aren’t fooling those around you I know how you feel

@co140 I understand 100% I’m dealing with the same stuff and the same fear but it isn’t real I promise you you aren’t a p. They wouldn’t feel like bad and scared you are a good person who just has a brain that likes to try and trick you

@co140 Ik this doesn’t always work but just try to remind yourself that it’s just your brain being silly and try to think of something that makes you happy and when something you see or hear triggers you don’t try and let the anxiety consume you go back to step one and be like my brain is being silly

pocd

still always scared and worried that deep down im a p, that the signs have “been there” (signs being weird stuff i watched as a kid and also me being very touchy with other kids as a child). my pocd spiked when me and my best friend found out her ex is an actual p. i just hate this i don’t even trust myself and the groinal responses are unbearable. i really don’t like this im scared im gonna die alone. me and my friend were having a convo abt ped0s yesterday due to her ex and i know a lot about them bc i researched about them because of my ocd but now im scared she thinks im a p or im just a p in denial who just covers it up with ocd. as im writing this im getting really bad groinal responses and i don’t know why. i use to be fine and got better with my pocd why is it back and 10x worse

pocd

constant thoughts even during alone time of “just accept u are a p, say it, accept it” and it feels so real and I have the urge to say it and try to accept it (ive tried to do it before and it sent me down a spiral of shame and worry) I really hate this. I feel so weird and out of place always and I feel like a fraud who’s in denial that they are a p.

pocd

can’t see anything on social media about kids ill immediately get intrusive thoughts and groinal responses and thoughts like “u are a p, u can’t have kids because u are a p” and it genuinely feels like im destined to be a p. like impending doom. that no more what i do i am one and i can’t change or stop it. does anyone feel like this? can it get this bad? my brain feels convinced and it’s like whenever i say im not my body gets all uncomfy and then the groinal responses come. i hate this. am i a p? if i am one i want to get help. I don’t want to hurt anyone. I would rather be gone then be a p but if I am one the least I could do is get help for it but im stuck between ocd and this. what if im just a fraud hiding behind ocd
