Pocd trigger

That dude who is suspected for hurting that little girl who went missing (idk I think he’s a singer) has been stuck in my head for days. It’s all over my social media and i do watch those videos to get an understanding of what’s been going on/what’s gonna happen but it’s created so many intrusive thoughts for me. What he did is so wrong but it’s making my pocd act up and my brain is asking me like “oh what if ur secretly okay with what he did” “what if you feel bad for him?” “Would do you what he did to someone else” like wtf? it has plagued my mind and im actually annoyed The dudes face will literally pop up in my head during private time and jm honestly confused as to why this is happening.

This has been really triggering me, too. I wasn't a fan of his, but I have heard his songs before, and I listened to this one that was popular a few years back a couple of times. Yesterday (after talking to my sister about the case), I couldn't stop thinking about it for hours on end, and his two songs that I know kept repeating over and over again in my head... For me, it's like my OCD is trying to convince me that I might be capable of what he did. I hate it so much :(

@nae nae Hello nae! Sorry you are going through this also. I think this is just one of those times where ocd is starved, and this situation going around is like food for the ocd. It targets so many themes for us such as harm ocd, pocd and maybe others, so it’s easy for the ocd to latch onto it. It’s nobodies fault that his music was trending and that he had a “good” voice to people. All we can do is send our condolences to the victim whether that’s internally or through acts. I’m sure we both have decided that he is a terrible person and needs to perish for what he did to her, any other thoughts that pop up that try to “what if” you or contradict your original statement is most likely your ocd. I’ve honestly tried staying away from that case on social media as much as I would like to know the updates, because it is a trigger and could be a compulsion. Hopefully he is put in prison! Thanks for your input nae, we will get through this like we always do😁😆

@nae nae Also, I don’t know if this will help, but I try to look at these crazy “What if “ thoughts from a final destination perspective, like the movies. All of those crazy catastrophes could happen to you, like a one in 1 trillion chance. Shoot, there’s a chance all of those catastrophes could happen to you at one time. Once again, one in one mega trillion chance, but why waste your peace on that? Something as unlikely as that? Yk what I mean.

@dee012 Thank you, Dee 😭🫂 You're right. And I'm sorry you're going through this, too. I've been trying to stay away from it on social media, as well. I might take a break from social media for a couple of days and see if that helps any. I hope he'll be put away in prison, like you said. She and her family deserve justice. It does help to look at it that way, actually lol. Thank you again for always being so kind. We will definitely get through this. The thoughts will pass! 🤍

@nae nae It’s okay! I just saw something about it and it triggered me again. But honestly, it just shows what parts of our ocd are unhealed. I haven’t cully come to terms that ocd and specifically pocd will always creep around so when it does it’s a bit overwhelming. And you’re welcome! I love when we comment on each others stuff because we seem so similar and I appreciate the compassion you have for me as well. Anyways fk that guy. What a terrible human being. We aren’t like him. He enjoys being a terrible person and it shows with everything that has come out. Hope you enjoy your sunday! Today is the Pisces eclipse!

Well if you didn't hurt the little girl you should get a lawyer and remember where you were when she was missing like an alibi I think that will help and if you got provin innocent then trust me your OCD will calm down but try to remember everything so you can tell your lawyer I wish you the best

@Maryam love Hello! I have no direct ties with these people. It is just a case that is circulating on social media of a 20 year old guy who hurt and led to the disappearance of a 14 year old-15 year old girl. It has just triggered my ocd so I am annoyed. But i would hope I do not need to get a lawyer Lol as i do not know any of these people directly
