POCD 18+++++
Why nobody is replying to me? You think what I posted is not serious?

I can tell that you are asking for a looot of reassurance my friend. It’s really hard to do, but instead of asking if people are seeing your posts or if people are 18, try and sit with the unknown. Let yourself think “what if they are a minor?” Or “what if no one thinks my posts are serious?” But try to let it flow through, instead of doing the compulsion of asking. Maybe the people in your comments are over 18, maybe they are not. You can’t really know for sure. Who knows why people may not be responding to those posts? You don’t need to figure it out right now. You got this! It’s such a hard place to be in, I struggle with POCD bad too. Sometimes, we need to take the power away from our OCD and not let it take control of us.

@TheObsessiveCompulsiveL That’s not reassuring because I don’t want to expose nobody

@Idontknow Exactly! It will help if you sit with the uncomfortable, my favorite response prevention tactic for this is “I can’t know.” Because I could say I’m 18+ or under 18, you would have no way of knowing. It can be super scary, and I’m sorry that you are going through this. But you are not alone! Stay strong!!

Hi remember that everyone is also dealing with this disease and in very different and exhausting ways, people aren't always able to reply, I'm sorry for whatever it is you're going through, you're not alone.

Sometimes the disease is so specific to one person, it can be difficult to offer advice. But I assure you, someone has read what you're going through and sympathizes with your experience.

@Idontknow I can't reassure you, but I can try to bring you back to reality. Remember the disease you suffer from. It can do anything and say anything to make you afraid. It wants to control every aspect of your life. It is all evil, all pervasive, and all capable. Do not let it ruin you. You're okay.

@Idontknow I know. You're scared, you're terrified. Please don't let the disease control you in this way. Please hang onto reality. We're all trying to bring you back from this spiral you're in. You must let the intrusions pass, you will never win by analyzing. The disease never tires.

@Idontknow You're okay. You have to let go of the analyzing. You're hurting yourself. Just let go. Don't ruminate anymore. Just relax. Nothing will happen to you.

Does POCD even exist?
This has been stressing me out, i don't find many specific scientific articles on groin response or similar topics, this makes me wonder if we all actually have a more serious problem? None of the therapists i've been to seem to think about OCD when talking to me and i'm not even diagnosed with anything, i'm always wondering if this means that i'm bad and i'm just hiding behind a false thing. Maybe my therapists would not comprehend that fully and i 100% understand them, apart from thoughts i have other things like groinal responses, that's one of the most uncomfortable things to say because i'm always afraid that by describing it, they'll suspect something way worse. It is worrying that i have not been able to find anything else for that topic on the internet apart from what this same app posts or the same old sources, i cannot find a big study very focused on it and that scares me
