No, T. the people we fear being aren’t anxious over those thoughts. They seek out those thoughts on purpose. You would do anything to get rid of this horrible disease right? I know I would. You are ok, just tell that ocd that those thoughts mean nothing, just like a junk channel going through your brain and say “ok I’m choosing to let these thoughts go through my brain but I’m not going to react to them because they mean nothing to me”

Stay strong T. I’ve said to @ocd465 that despite my major protection over my kids, I would let her look after them because the literature is clear. No one with OCD even comes close to acting on their obsession. In fact it’s the opposite, the avoidance and desperation to disprove the obsession is what drives it. I know that my kids would be safe with that person and that person would be behaving in life changing ERP. That person would be you too. Build self trust, confidence and define yourself by your beliefs, your values, and godamn it what you WANT. Not what the bully wants to convince you that you want

Hey guys, POCD trigger. Have been diagnosed with pocd. Help needed. Having s massive panic attack. Woke up early and out of no where came an intrusive thought of a naked kid. As much as it caused me disgust and to have a tight chest anxiety etc it seemed like I enjoyed the thought? Like I couldn’t deny I enjoyed the image? Do not want to act on it and went to markets this morning and saw kids and got intrusive thoughts but thought oh that’s just OCD however these thoughts really upset me and now I feel like a non offending pedo in denial. Like I read some pedos can feel disgust too and I’m just freaking out. My therapist said thoughts don’t mean action but I wonder if I have secret desires and I can’t live like this. Has anyone else felt the same? Can an OCD thought seem “enjoyable?” And like you “like” the thought?

Weird question but does anyone get the random fear that you actually “enjoy” the intrusive thoughts and OCD is just an excuse and you don’t want to get better? Or am I crazy. Of course I want to be free :(

TW pocd This is really hard to explain but I’ll try. Struggle with POCD. I find the thoughts absolutely revolting but I think? A compulsion of mine is replaying the thought to check as the unwanted thought makes me feel like I “enjoy” the thought? It’s sickening. Anyway, the thought came, then another thought / temptation? Came to rethink the thought and “check” it. I resisted but then got this sickening feeling like my mind was telling me “awwww you’re disappointed you couldn’t enjoy the thought and at the same time find it repulsive” and know I feel like I’m just in denial that I secretly like the thought. My biggest fear is that I’m secretly attracted. Can anyone shed this light? Is this still OCD or temptation / unrepentant sin? ( I’m Christian. ) Thanks guys, struggling so much.
