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.

@co140 I understand really, you’ll be okay, alr? The best thing you can do is to distracted urself, the groinal response isn’t actual Arousal

i'm really sorry you're going through this, it sounds incredibly tough and draining. 😔 dealing with intrusive thoughts and the fear of being something you're not is a heavy burden. remember, your thoughts are not a reflection of your true self. by the way, have you heard about this new AI-powered OCD therapy tool called "unstuck?" when i was struggling with similar fears, this free AI OCD therapy tool (unstuckmyocd.com/try) that my NOCD therapist recommended really made a difference for me. i think it'll be especially helpful for you because it's designed to offer personalized step-by-step support when OCD gets difficult, just like an OCD therapist would. it can help you navigate through these intrusive thoughts and the feelings they bring up without falling into the cycle of compulsions. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3

Personally, I have pocd, and this helps a little bit, I done research on a p words brain. And essentially it's not js a natural attraction. It's a type of hybrid attraction. And when u do unfortunately have this p word attraction you WON'T feel any fear or guilt or stress and the "omg I think I really an a p word" no matter how u react, or feel. When you have the panick and need for reassurance that is enough PROOF. That u aren't a p word. Because p words don't look for reassurance, or they don't get distressed.

@Anonymous Thank u for ur comment! My anxiety and stress around ocd use to be terrible, sleepless nights, terrors, anxiety attacks, unalive attempts, just everything bad, but ive had ocd for so long it feels like ive “gotten used to” these feelings and thoughts, if that makes sense, which scares me even more and makes me wonder if im a p because I feel less anxiety and stress. It’s more of a helpless feeling now to be honest. And tired. There are moments where I do cry or hit myself when I get these thoughts but I don’t know, ocd has just been tormenting me for so long.

pocd

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

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
