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

Does anyone imagine they are doing their harm thoughts during an action, making you feel like you acted on your thoughts? For example, someone gave me a hug and at the last second I imagined I was touching something I shouldn’t during the hug? I want to make it clear it’s something I have zero desire to do! But the problem is, I thought it on purpose and it makes me sick !! Obviously nothing happened but my mind is telling me that was me trying to do it. Even though it was physically impossible to do. Am I a monster or could this be OCD? I’m freaking out and don’t want to be here anymore. I feel like I’m the exception and that this isn’t OCD. I know I post about this stuff a lot but I’m struggling and don’t know what to do.

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

harm ocd is the bane of my existence. people always tell me that if you have anxiety over a thought, that’s ocd. and these intrusive thoughts cause me IMMENSE anxiety. i’m constantly looking for reasons why i’m not what these thoughts tell me i am. but WHY DOES IT FEEL SO REAL?? it’s like i can’t reassure myself that this isn’t me and i don’t want to do it, but i also look for reasons why it’s not me. my brain is constantly telling me “if you don’t act on this, you’ll never feel free”. WHAT EVEN IS THAT?? and why does it feel real?? anytime i think about getting therapy, i constantly think that it’s not going to help me positively but help me realize i am this person. i just wish someone with harm ocd could get into my brain, understand me, and tell me everything will be okay. i wish someone in recovery could tell me that they’ve been where i am, felt the same feelings, thought the same thoughts, and got through it when they thought they wouldn’t. i feel like i’m drowning in it. another thing is i think about how my mom knows a surface level understanding to this form of my ocd, but if she knew it all, i’m scared she’d never look at me the same. i’m scared she’d be scared of me and think i need psychiatric help. IM TERRIFIED.
