i’ve seen a few people really distressed about their pocd & my heart just aches bc i know how scary that subset is. it’s so tough. it takes a lot of strength to fight of the radical shame and pain. i’m urging anyone who has this form of ocd that it is absolutely possible to be free from it. by doing exposures, it dissipates from the mind. i’m holding out my hand to all of you because my heart truly recognizes the hurt. sending so so much love 🤍

honestly, through the thick of harm ocd & pocd, i truly felt that i couldn’t go on. i thought i was too dangerous to be around others and i felt like a monster. almost can’t believe it, but both of those themes have pretty much gone away. there is hope.

100% ocd is the monster

I’ve been crying the past 2 days bc I was so happy & now I feel like I’m back in that dark place it sucks but feelings are temporary

I hear you. When I am on my own I manage better, it’s when I am around loved ones and the babies in my life that I freak out. It’s depressing and scary.

I’m the same way when I’m home with my family it’s not bad I’m still bothered by thoughts not as much but exposure will get us past this

It’s okay I got the help I needed my harm ocd was one of the worst cases my therapist has ever seen so I’m in here all you will be ok🙏🏼

Going through the same thing we’ll be okay

Thank you so much I just want the ocd to go away I feel like those 2 topics are the scariest ones I feel after I fight this any other ocd things will be less scary to battle

Thank you so much. I feel crippled by this.

sorry if i'm bothering but what are some exercises to not have ocd

I have pocd my erp is watching YouTube video on y ppl are pedaphiles . Playing with my little cousins exposing myself to my fear. If you never stand up to a bully they will keep bullying you . Ocd is a bully stand up to it for you

I can’t watch those videos. That’s disturbing.

They don’t show anything they just talk about the topic in general but we have to get comfortable being uncomfortable you’ll know or your therapist will know when you can handle it

Oh I’m 100% sure. It’s just even hearing about it disturbs me. It’s very upsetting.

I know what you mean I get depressed about it for sure . I think my ocd grabbed on to this topic bc it’s been talked about politically recently a lot

We will fight this

Trust me I get it my harm ocd came out of now where I was terrified to but facing the fear is the only way your going to beat it now I have pocd n I’m convinced I wanna do terrible sexual things to my little cousins or kids & I was a day care worker for 2 years never felt this way unfortunately it’s a chemical Imbalance in our brains but you know what we are strong ppl

For sure I’f it makes u feel better I was on the verge to end my life but I pulled through there’s so much light it’s scary now but it’s apart of our path & story & we know we are not alone in this
