So I have OCD about OCD itself. Like I will be talking about harm OCD or POCD that I struggle/struggled with as a kid and it come up sometimes now but it was rlly bad as a kid (I’m 16 now) and then I’ll worry “what if you don’t have harm ocd or pocd, and when you have pocd you can’t get the images and thoughts out of your head but because it doesn’t make you feel as physically sick as sexuality OCD what if I’m making my POCD and harm OCD up for attention?! Can anyone relate...

It’s normal to feel this way with OCD. When you’re getting over a theme and you feel less anxiety over it, OCD tries to make it seem like you actually like it. Try not to give into the theme again, if you already got through it once, you know you can get through it again! Accept the uncertainty, accept that you have OCD and intrusive thoughts, just accept all of it. I do radical acceptance where I just accept absolutely everything that happens to me or that goes on inside my head. It’s definitely hard, but I accept it. You’re stronger than the OCD, and you’re louder than the thoughts. Keep going and stay strong ?

im not diagnosed but ive been having thoughts like this. i think im suffering from POCD. im so scared that im a pedophile after an incident that happened a couple day when seeing a picture of a child, I DID NOT realize it was a child at first, but i had a weird tingle in my middle section for A SECOND and then i freaked once i realized it was a child. i even unfollowed the account i saw the child on cause i was so freaked. Now i stay away from ANYTHING sexual because i get images of a kid in my mind and i get so uncomfortable. i dont know what to do. i keep on coming to this app to see if my symptoms match up because i dont want to be a pedophile. im 15. i cant be. im too young. its scary. does it sound like what you went through?? i also have thoughts like, what if i get therapy and i realize im making all this up? what if im a fake and im just faking it? what if i just WANT to have OCD? its so scary.

i also keep on checking for groin response i think, and sometimes its a constant feeling. could that be from anxiety? or is that me actually liking it? i also have fears like what if i like a child in that way

OCD about OCD

Is it possible to have a huge fear of OCD itself? (OCD about OCD) I’m scared that I’m not perfect and that I’ll go crazy or something like that, that i won’t achieve the life that i want, that im weird bcs of ocd, what other people will think bcs of my ocd, that i will feel like this forever... I try to reassure myself that I don’t have it, but I just want to cry. Everything related to OCD triggers me, and I know these things are also signs of OCD. Is this normal for OCD? Maybe I just need to accept it, I don’t know. I think about this 24/7—some days are better, and I kind of feel like I don’t have OCD, but it always comes back when something triggers me. I also keep asking my parents if they’re sure I don’t have OCD. They tell me I don’t, but it doesn’t help because I know they don’t really understand OCD. So, it’s basically just another obsession, but about OCD. Has anyone dealt with this? I’ve never heard anyone talk about this, so I’m not sure if it’s even a thing.

anyone else?

maybe a therapist can respond or anyone who relates and experiences this also?? im trying to make sense . ever since ocd started, specifically harm ocd and pocd, sexual themes ocd in general, my brain makes everything sexual or gross. or just makes inappropriate connections with quite literally anything. or any person I see I wonder if they are a p, or if they are “like me”, because im fully convinced at times that im some weird or bad person, and then when i see actual criminals etc i cant help but compare myself to them it’s so weird?????? or sometimes I feel like i cant judge a p because im no different than them?? idk its so weird. rn writing this ik im not a p like what im just struggling with really bad ocd and trauma I hope :( It’s just my brain distorts everything and then it makes me feel worse, like “ur an actual p or pervert because see??? ur brain is sexualizing everything?” hopefully this makes sense

OCD harm tw

Honestly ocd has been so tough these past months, like I wake up in the morning thinking I accidentally hurt my whole family and just don’t remember. And I start to question so much. And freak out thinking that I did. If anyone can relate I would love to hear from you ;) and any things that may helped you
