My ocd right now is: if I go to the police station and say I'm pedophile, my life will be destroy. Of course I'm not! But when I think of this I am so scared ... Could police put me in jail without evidence of guilt ? Do on you have any advice and help for this thought ?

I mean i never do bad things but how policeman mâle difference between a phobic impulse, ocd and a real guilty person ?

Make difference **

@Nanou As said below. You cannot be arrested for thoughts. As hard as it is you cant dwell on stuff it makes it stronger. When that thought pops up refocus yourself if its watching tv or anything. Be in the present and you'll find the thoughts go for a bit. Takes a while but things will get better. You've got this! X

@Cactus8 Thank you very much !! But how they do difference between a speech about thoughts (ocd) and if i say "im a pedophile" (but im not) with a real guilty person ?

@Cactus8 I'm afraid that one day the ocd makes me say this lie "im pedophile" and they put me in jail....

@Nanou I cant say much without it being reassurance but I'm sure they need concrete evidence. I know this is hard I'm going through this exact thing but the more you panic about this the stronger it gets. It's a long road but weve got it together! Have you tried seeing a therapist or talked to anyone? Z

@Cactus8 Yes i do TCC but sometimes im scared ?

@Nanou Some days will be better. Stay strong and focused and these thoughts will go.Remember fearing will only make it stronger. I'm here for you x

@Cactus8 Thanks !!!! ? What is your ocd ?

@Nanou POCD mainly. But themes can change especially if I feel calmer about one another one will flare up the other one will be about real life events as well. I'm assuming yours is the same?

@Cactus8 Yes the same ! What is POCD ?

@Cactus8 Oh yes i know ! We will help each other !

@Nanou Absolutely. If you need any tips or if you can share any that would be great. Always here :)

@Cactus8 Super of course ?

Yes thanks !! But if i tell to policeman that i am, they will sentence me ? If my ocd makes me say that horror, and they believe it ?

@Nanou Even if you went to the police and told them that you were having pedophilic thoughts, they would tell you that it’s not illegal to have those thoughts, it’s only illegal if you act on those thoughts and engage in child porn, sexual abuse, etc

@dpveritasgold Yes !!! Thanks !! I was just afraid that by saying that kind of words , they lock me up ... But I think that they need proof.

Thanks you... Im so scared to say this lie to policeman one Day ... and they believe it ?

@Nanou Don't be scared you will never say anything just let the OCD think alone and the thoughts will go away

@Bellahina Yes i will let go... ,but if one day it happens to me, whats going happen ?

@Nanou That's the thing it'll never happened the OCD makes you think"someday I'll go and say this to police" but that's all it doesn't make you act against your will never and believe me when I say never .. when you think like that tell yourself "let's never mind this OCD thoughts" it's the best way to stop it

@Bellahina It's true thanks... ❤ I still need to find solutions ... Like to show them this discussion ! But nothing will happen!

Yes thank you very much !!!!

I was afraid that by saying that I did horrible things they could believe me and my life was destroyed. But indeed, they would see as it is a ocd because I will talk about it too ...
