You know what I dislike I dislike that so many people still refuse to speak about pedophilic ocd because of the taboo behind it. It’s like do you think I like waking up to terrible intrusive thoughts of children do you think I like doubting myself on whether or not an intrusive is real or not! No I don’t enjoy it yet nobody talks about it everyone gets so scared to talk about it and it leaves all of us to suffer in silence.

Exactly and it sucks since we already view ourselves as horrible people even though were not due to our ocd always making us feel like we did something we didnt do or making us feel guilty and disgusted with ourselves. And the sad part is whenever we speak out about it or want help with our intrusive thoughts nobody even cares to help us on the forum because of the stigma

I know exactly what you mean by that sometimes I do the same and I envy others who have contamination ocd or I see others post about oh I’m scared I might not love my partner and I go well damn must be nice to have that type of ocd because every day feels like a struggle to me due to my type of OCD and it sucks because your own family doesn’t even want to hear it your own family will alienate you when it comes to speaking about your ocd. Therefor, in your head you start to believe you can’t share your ocd with anyone because everyone will think you actually are what your ocd says you are or no one will understand

Let me know if you want to speak on snapchat or another type of app I have a friend with harm ocd that lives in the UK who I have on snapchat and we talk

@Ella_O That would be nice. This app needs a DM function. Open to suggestions on contact apps wise.

I dislike it so much and I feel your pain as well but us as a community should stick together and make a group where we can all talk about our pocd issues and what we go through everyday so we no longer feel alone so we don’t have to suffer alone in silence so we can overcome this

You won’t be looked at differently I’m here for you and all of us who suffer with pocd and where brave enough to comment on my statement are here for you we can all come together and make a group to help eachother

Perhaps we need a group chat

@seemeinacrown Yes we should make a groupchat on snapchat and this app honestly needs a dm function

@Ella_O Honestly haven't used snap for years. Didn't know it even had group chat haha ? now I feel old lol

@Ella_O Someone else on here made this, its for all OCD, but has subchats for each theme https://discord.gg/6xCXMCN does this work for now
