465, if you feel you are using this app too much for reassurance it probably is a good idea to leave. We are here if you ever need us tho. I would say tho, I’ve suffered with pocd for 3 years now and I’m just now reaching out to therapy and I wish I had done it a long time ago. You are going to have good days, and bad days, and therapy will help you keep bad days to a minimum. Don’t be afraid to tell a therapist your pocd thoughts, this is an ILLNESS they will understand

Good luck. Hope everything works out for you ?

I’ve had this type of thought before. It’s a normal OCD thought for people struggling with POCD

You’re not a sicko. You’re SICK. You have a disorder. First of all, masturbation is totally normal. In fact it’s shown to be a healthy part of a well balanced sex life. A child or anyone for that matter walking in during, is like an interruption (similar to an intrusive thought) you were already sexually stimulated. The child had nothing to do with it. If the child can’t leave your mind after, it’s your OCD ruminating, not because you’re a pedo

Also, sometimes our brains/bodies can’t distinguish sexual themes from the “non-sexual” theme. For instance, someone can be turned on by the idea of a naked man’s body. Their physical sensations are already going in gear. THEN their OCD can kick in and comes up with the idea of oh idk - their naked brother - while their body is already turned on, forcing them into the conclusion that part of their sexual interest / fantasy involves their own brother. It’s trickery

Goods luck !!!

Sorry I thought the original post meant a child LITERALLY walked in, but my advice remains the same.

Ocd465 you deffenetly use the app for reassurance ive watched a few of your post and you are constantly looking for it

Good luck 465. You are probably already off here. But wherever you are, know that this was a good first step. Now onto recovery...........

Oh no I had just replied to you on your previous post where you asked me a question and just saw this ? I'll be praying for your recovery. I wish you well and remember you're not alone in this.
