I’m going through something similar, I confided in a friend about my POCD and they took it the wrong way and viewed me as a danger to children. I lost a very good friend group and a person I really liked because of this. We got this though. 🤝🤍

@Aalarcon04 I’m really sorry that happened, before I developed (undiagnosed) PCOD I remember seeing a video online explaining what POCD was, and idk if the person who made the video didn’t explain it well or if I misunderstood it but I just remember thinking of it as people that are actually attracted to children but don’t want to be and wouldn’t act on it. I think about this all the time because it’s just so ironic that I’m now experiencing symptoms of the exact thing I once misinterpreted. Also I feel that the fact that this subset of OCD has the word pedophilia in doesn’t help people’s impressions of it.

@Oh Dear Yeah I’ve realized that it’s most definitely a compulsion of mine haha. I’m currently looking for a therapist elsewhere because NOCD doesn’t take Medicare.

@Oh Dear I may have found a therapist on PsychologyToday! Just put in your state and use filters to see if they take Medicare
