18+! Can I have support on real event ocd please!
But 18+ people only please
But 18+ people only please
What’s up?
@Alyce🦋 18+ TW! POCD PLEASE DONT READ IF TOURE BELLOW 18 I find things a turn on things that a weird. For example if I mention I change nappies I find it a turn on that others know that I can see kids private areas. However, I have no concern that it’s the kids private areas that turn me on because it’s not. ‘All I want to do is care for them. I would never harm a child and have no sexual feelings towards them. However, in concerned to why I find others changing kids nappies attractive….. please help me. Or I might mention it because I find it attractive that others have the power to work with kids (like kindness) or doing their nappies. However when I do nappies I get no sexual feelings at all towards the child, it’s just others mentioning it. It could be I find it a “T*** on that they are taking care of the child. I’m scared tho, what does this mindset mean?
@YourOCDhelpingtool Okay you gotta think. If you really found it a turn on then why are you so distressed by the thoughts and asking for help? Thoughts are not facts. Is this something you don’t like being turned on too? Then it’s likely ocd just making you feel a certain way that isn’t true. You can also get the groinal response to things with ocd. Is this a thing you’ve always had or just since ocd came out the works?
@Alyce🦋 I’ve always had it. I’ve felt turned on by things to involve kids but never the kids directly, but it’s not just kids it’s other things etc etc. but Idk it just scares me. Because what if I didn’t have ocf then I’m scared I’d feel the same around kids with no regret etc. idk. It’s never the kids directly anyways I don’t think. But maybe my ocd is saying “i saved you from becoming a pe**” because I’m scared if I didn’t have ocd I’d become one because of how I felt in certain situations
Have you ever felt happy by the feelings and thoughts or always distressed?
@Alyce🦋 Happy. But I have learning disabilities so I don’t understand what’s right and wrong always and it takes me a while to develop mentally. So I’m always 5 years mentally behind
@Alyce🦋 But I now feel distressed by these thoughts so does this just show I’ve changed?
Well that’s up to you to decide but I would say so. OCD is normally really with us from a young age and autism and adhd have ocd tendencies. It could well likely be that these have always been intrusive thoughts. You said they used to make you happy but you have never acted on any thought. Do you want your own kids? That’s important to understand too. Why this is a trigger for you. BUT at the end of the day, the fact you haven’t ever acted or done anything wrong and these thoughts are destroying your life at every waking moment, just shows that this isn’t something you want. This isn’t a thought you want to have.
@Alyce🦋 I used to mastu*** over younger individuals but didnt know it was wrong
@Alyce🦋 Did you see my reply
Sorry only just. How old were you at the time?
@Alyce🦋 14 mentally 11
@Alyce🦋 Or 16 mentally 13 idk one of them
You sound like you were still a child yourself and didn’t have a clue what you were doing from right to wrong. I am pretty sure you see this as wrong and don’t do this anymore. I don’t have your same theme but I’ve spoken to so many who do, it sounds so terrible and I can only imagine how horrible it feels but all the other people also think their ocd is the ‘worst ever’. It’s just how ocd makes us feel. Stop trying to figure it out. Let go of the past. Move forward with things you actually enjoy and they don’t distress you like this ocd does :)
@Alyce🦋 But like I used to find it attractive if people got kids in the background of their pictures, or like I speak out loud about kids so others hear but I’m scared why. However I’ve never wanted to do owt with a child… so idk what all those feelings etc are before my ocd??? Like could it just be an interest in children in a good and positive way
@YourOCDhelpingtool Yes it could just be the idea of being a parent or having a family. Or it could also be just an intrusive thought. Are you currently in therapy with NOCD?
@Alyce🦋 Even if it aroused me and turned me on? The idea of kids but not actually them in general. Just like idk I never wanted to do owt to them
@YourOCDhelpingtool Well it doesn’t sound to me like it’s the kids. Because you are saying you don’t want to act on anything. Plus you probably wouldn’t be asking for help if you felt that way. It’s a simple as just not harming anyone but ocd won’t let you see it like that
@Alyce🦋 I also have learning disabilities, adhd, etc etc… so I didn’t have to understanding what I was feeling etc was wrong and I was just taking it as “ooo I like this” because of the sensation it was giving me
@Alyce🦋 Plus even if it was over the kids I’m obviously not a pe** because they wouldn’t develop POCD and be terrified of their past self etc and get so many showers due to their thoughts would they? Like someone who’s a p*** wouldn’t just randomly get Pocd and stop being a pe**? Would they?
It sounds like your last message there is wanting reassurance from me and that’s a compulsion. If I come just with facts. No you wouldn’t be questioning if you are this thing if you were. I’m not a therapist or trained I just have ocd myself in sense of real event false memory and worrying about bad things happening. What I will say is you have to treat all themes the same. See the logic in it also. Would you be here if you were happy about this situation? Think about what you want for your life…. In my life I want everyone I love to be happy and I want a quiet peaceful life. Think about what your answer would be and see how it differs to what ocd is trying to tell you
If you aren’t seeing a NOCD therapist I would reallly recommend reaching out to them because I am aware I’m not a professional or able to give you the right answers to what you are asking me because I’m not 100% sure. But if you think about ocd in general and all themes… you treat them the same. If you are in doubt whether it’s ocd or not…. Just treat it as ocd
I was really wanting to end it before I started with my therapy. A lot of the information makes so much sense then they start talking to you about it. I also have adhd and autism and ocd tendencies are very common. Have you felt in this spike for long?
There are also daily support groups if you are in therapy and those are just a life saver
18+ TW! POCD Is this still Pocd. I’m so scared For example, I’ll be feeling aroused over a child and feel genuinely aroused like I want the arousal and I’ll stop forcing it to not come because in the moment it feels like I want it in the moment so alllow the arousal to happen. Another example is I’ll feel aroused over a kid and my ocd will say make your blanket touch your private areas for a feeling over kids and I’ll do it in the moment because I feel aroused over the intrusive thought of the child. Another example is I’ll even think “yes I want this arousal over the child” and in the moment it feels like I want it I hate all of this after and do many compultions
