I know OCD can be very hard to deal with, but this post is seeking reassurance, which only makes things worse. Here are some helpful tools and resources to help you through this: -What is OCD?

This is reassurance seeking! It won’t help you feel better to get an answer to these questions. Your OCD is driving you to find a certainty that doesn’t exist. Sending hope for you 💌

Now I don't have pocd, but usually the distinction I like to tell people is that a real pedo would not care. A bad person wouldn't worry if they are a bad person. At all. If you're already wondering if you're a moral, good person, knowing you have POCD, you're dealing with the POCD in that moment and it's good to remember your coping skills and therapy skills. Good people care about being good, bad people don't care if they are immoral. Have a lovely day and please please be kind to yourself!! ♡
