Hey me again. I was wondering again. So I’ve always been attached to babies and children. Kind of like an uncle. But I’m a teen. Like I’ve always found babies adorable. But I fear that makes me a p3do.

Well I’ve always been protective of children. Like if a mom or dad gets mad at a child I would feel really bad. And I’ve always been playful with babies. I see a baby and I’m like “omg so cute”. I’ve never really seen a child and had sexual thoughts. Or done something in a sexual connotation. Yes I’ve had thoughts. But that’s when a baby does something weird. One time my baby cousin lay on my stomach and started humping (near my groin area). I had a reaction in my groin. And I took her off. And whenever she’s on my stomach lying down and she’s near that area I get thoughts of like “what if I get a boner or hurt her somehow”. But it’s not always and it’s not often. Just when stuff like that happens.

@Nachos34 That happened to me before. It’s really scary, it’s what caused my POCD.

@figuringitallout Yea me too. That and one time I accidentally looked at my sisters chest area. And I kind got scared. I don’t even remember if I got a groin reaction from it. I just know after that I really started to get scared. This was right around or right after it started.

@Nachos34 If you want to message privately let me know, I totally relate.

@figuringitallout How do you do that lmao.

@Nachos34 We have a WhatsApp group for POCD lol

@figuringitallout Lmaoo. What are the ages in that group since I’m still a teen?

@Nachos34 I think it can be for anyone. How old are you?

@figuringitallout 15

@Nachos34 I see. Well, I think anyone can join! It’s just a support group. But I’m glad your story because that exact thing happened to me and caused my POCD actually. It’s very common FYI.

@figuringitallout Well I’m not sure. If I can then yes, I suppose

@figuringitallout Actually I think I wanna join. Please please and thank you

@Nachos34 Once I figure out how to do it I will lol

@figuringitallout It’s all cool. Do you have Instagram? You can send me a phone number or a link or something through there

@Nachos34 I think only the admin can add you, I’ll ask him when he responds

@figuringitallout Hey. I hate to be a bother. But do you have an update on the group?

@Nachos34 https://chat.whatsapp.com/CKnytCTes5a3CzuzCTC3iF

I know. Idk how to tho. Have you experienced something similar?

@Nachos34 I have ROCD ans that feels so much like reality rather than just thoughts and that's frustrating. I woke up with ROCD thoughts. I don't get enough sleep. I also have intrusive thoughts that are somewhat harm OCD and p OCD but I am able to control them.

@girin Yes. But I hate the stigma of POCD. Many people think POCD is the same thing as pedophilia. I also hate the uncertainty of it. “Oh maybe I am one, maybe I’m not” “oh maybe I’ve hurt a child maybe I haven’t”. That’s so scary

@Nachos34 A therapist won't, they have many patients like you and they keep in confidential because they have studied this and they know it's not you, it's your OCD. They will tell you what is up with you and how to fix it. Efforts are yours.
