Anyone here who got over the pocd theme?Do you have any advice? It's really scary .I dealt with it for a long time . I think it's one of the wost themes that I had besides harm ocd and real event .Also have you talk with someone about it? I am terrified to talk with someone , even a therapist
I am pretty much through it, though I have good days and bad days. I was brave enough to tell my boyfriend, my mom, my brother and now pretty much all of my close friends who know me know about it. I was afraid initially, but then I saw that the people who genuinely knew me would know it was really OCD I was struggling with. I don’t tell everyone, only those who I genuinely trust and I’ve been fortunate enough that no one has ever turned me away or looked at me differently. Having support from those I love most is probably what helped me to overcome it further.
I am very glad that you have people who understand you! Is very important.Maybe in the future I will tell someone , but also someone who I trust very much.I am scared they will see me like a horrible person , yk? Thanks for the reply and I wish you the best
**tw; mentions of pocd and harm ocd** Sorry in advance for the long post. I feel as if I should address pocd, because talking about it to people who understand seems to help me a lot. I’ve always had OCD, however, I didn’t get this particular theme until I was 17 (I’m 19 now) and a senior in high school. Pedophilia was briefly mentioned in my psych course, and my brain went absolutely nuts telling me “what if I’m capable of being that.” Similar things have happened in my past; OCD tricked me into believing I was a murderer when I was around 7 because of crime segments on the news, and OCD later tricked me into thinking I could be a serial killer, but pocd arguably is the worst theme to have and all of you that have it are literally the strongest people alive. On top of that, I’ve only ever been attracted to older adults, yet this theme still persists. I just want to go back to the version of me that I was before I got this theme. If I had a do over in life I would have never taken that course, it straight up ruined my life. I will literally take any other theme over pocd at this point honestly. Thank you for reading if you’ve gotten this far, you’re a very patient person lmao bless.
I need some advice from someone with pocd
It’s getting so bad I have thought about suicide. This is the worst most torturous disease to have when your mind eats away at itself and makes you feel like a monster I know I probably need to see an OCD therapist but I’m also really worried about disclosing my pocd in case I’m misunderstood. I’d rather die than hurt a child Has anyone recovered from this theme without therapy?
