Anybody with Pocd???

Thank you so much for you post , so so much

Hiii , can we talk!?

@Itshard Sure! What’s up?

@colleen2 Well , I m ok but I have some questions! What about you, having a good day?

@Itshard It’s been pretty okay! My brains been kind of a jerk, but overall I’ve been trying to enjoy my day. How about you?

No I don’t

I just need to ask questions..

@Itshard Whats up?

@godfirst 12312345 No it’s like... different

It’s like if my story was different cuz what is happening to me , nobody else talk about it..

People talk about false memories, groinal respond , but never talk about what is happening to me..

@Itshard Explain because no one is judgey here. We all have different minds when it comes to ocd. I’m sure it is a trait of ocd

@ruminating_redhead Ok i will explain , (Trigger warning ) Like the other I was with my boyfriend and we started doing sexual stuff and I had thoughts and I was just putting them away they were not scaring me because they were not exciting me or something like that , but after I had a thought of a hand touching a little girl private part and it was like exciting me but when It was happening I knew that in the reality I would not like it but it was like exciting me and It was so scary and I stoped everything scared, and the thing that scare me so much is that I don’t know if you are supposed to feel like that with Pocd cuz people say that they know that they are not because of when they do stuff It turn them off but the problem with me is that sometimes I’m disgusted by them, sometimes idk what they make me feel, sometimes I feel like I could like them...

@Itshard I don’t usually give reassurance. I’m going to try to give you info without reassuring you because It’s something you should know to help you understand. The brain is very powerful. If you concentrate hard enough on one area, or you even think about something turning you on, your brain can produce that. Especially with OCD. This is so SO common. It happens often to people with POCD from what I’ve read In this app, and it goes for people with HOCD too. For example, I am straight, but I struggle with HOCD, so when I think of girls, or see explicit content about girls or lesbian stuff, I get a response too. The example you gave is something I’ve been through so many times. I’ll be having an intimate time with my husband and I will get small flashes of my unwanted thoughts and make connections that I enjoy the thought. It’s a complicated thing. But from the sounds of it, you are experiences a groinal response.

@ruminating_redhead Same thing as well. When im masterbating or having intercourse with my Soon to be Fiance I would have random thoughts of that stuff as well. It really bothers me but i learned to cope with it and try atleast to not feed the lil monster because thinking/feeding the thought will only make your progress with o. C d alot worse tbh. However this is known to be the battle witu ocd suffers of all types of ocd and ERP basically not givint in or just ignorning the thought and to face it with confidence and courage. Its a battle i am myself slowly recovering with the depressing state of my life going on 3 years know. But i shall always remain positive and try to just be me because i kmow a good person and not one thought or hundred thoughts should tell you else wise! ?
