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

Magic ocd

I know this is insane but please, PLEASE hear me out. I just need someone to tell me they relate in some way or something. Does anyone else feel like they have some sort of 'magic' that they accidentally manifested from 'wishing' too hard during a traumatic time and can't feel like you can control it now, which is pretty anxiety inducing since it feels like it would make people be able to feel or see your ocd thoughts? Or use your muscle tensing as part of your ocd? Like if you have an intrusive thought while tensing a muscle, you feel like it's going to come true so you have to 'correct' it by thinking a good thought then tense your muscles again? Because I have both of them. :(

I just don't know

I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.

Does any one ever question if their ocd isn’t ocd?

That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.
