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 ?

I can relate with HOCD 100%

Oh yay I’m like “what if u want to hurt people what if u don’t have ocd” LIES it’s all ocd lies people with ocd doubt that they have ocd :)

Yeah not yay lol

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.
