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

I have never seen anyone describe what I go through. It’s like I IMMEDIATELY get these bodily responses even at the sound of age. This didn’t happen to me before POCD, but so much rumination and compulsions have trained my body to respond this way. These only come when I’m triggered tho but when I’m not thinking about the theme, I’m okay. I really hate it and it makes me want to not live.

Hi! I’m sorry you’re going through this. The intrusive thoughts can be very overwhelming. But it doesn’t mean that you’re a P, it’s the OCD that makes you think the worst. What’s important is that you’re trying to seek help! I have been experiencing the same as you for almost a month now. And it’s been horrible honestly… that’s why I’m on here too

First time commenting here, I must I absolutely relate to this. In fact I came here with the hope to find someone with similar symptoms as me and I found it. It feels like I'm a monster, sometimes I feel convinced that I am this and that. I get the groinal and physical responses just like you with the same triggers. It's all going to be alright, in the end we are capable of observing our obsessions and compulsions and label it as a passing thought. Your brain will trigger you because you taught it to fear this subject so it will try to prove as much that you are this very thing. When you avoid you attract, when you fear you reinforce and attract even more. With awareness there is a possibility of coming to term with this because it is trying to make you see to be this thing that we fear and we hate. We must accept to let the experience be as such for now without reacting to it. I have crazy, mind bending disgusting intrusive thoughts and intrusive physical responses that make me litteraly sick, I've been sick for the past 5 days stuck in bed, this is litteraly like having hell in your mind. But yet I remain strong and I try to keep my mind clear as best as I could it has been very very hard but it is a lesson worth learning, ocd is out personal lesson. And don't you worry you will be able to have a family, go to therapist and try to talk about it. I hope we all make it. Wish you well, stay strong 💪

everytime I see a kid or anything about a kid is mentioned then boom here come groinal responses that feel like genuine arousal and a whole bunch of thoughts telling me im a p. I genuine feel like I am one. I feel like this isn’t ocd. My anxiety has gone down tremendously so it seems as if im only ASHAMED of this. Which p’s can be also. I just want peace. I don’t want to be a p. Even my brain is like “just do it so u can have the label permanently “ like no I don’t want to do that but this all feels so real:( I hate the groinal responses they won’t go away

the minute I wake up it’s like a sense of impending doom. I immediately get thoughts like “ur a p, im a p, it’s inevitable, ur hiding behind an ocd mask” and it feels so real. I also get groinal responses and everything feels so real, like I AM ONE. and sometimes im too tired to even stop the thoughts so it just keeps going and my body and brain feels like it agrees and im just a p. idk what to do:(

HELP POCD :(

literally randomly through the day ill worry “are u a p?” Or my brain tells me I am one and it actually feels like I am one. I get these groinal responses immediately after and get the urge to self soothe. that is a bad compulsion of mine. I really hate this. my mind goes straight to p related things for EVERYTHING it doesn’t even have to be kid related but somehow my brain does and finds connections in anything about me being a “p” im really scared i am one. i have no “proof” besides these thoughts, urges, and sensations and compulsions, which i feel like is enough proof and i should search for help for being a p.
