Dam bro. You are getting hit by two types ocd. It sucks having to constantly think over and over again of the same thing. If feels like you are forced to be brainwashed and having to accept everything it says, but you still try to overcome it. Hey man, have you ever tried drawing your feelings? I tried it and it relieved some anger and stress. Idk why or how, but it does a little. Some of my drawing look like they would be in a jigsaw movie, but at least it relieved me a little.

@вдик I would honestly rip the paper. It’s been that bad. I’m so scared of even telling my story as I know people on this forum will think I’m a pedo or something. If you want to know, read my last post, you’ll understand. The last thing I want is to touch kids or be attracted to kids. It makes me gag just thinking about it.

Don’t worry man. It looks like you are trying to overcome these thought because you don’t ever want to act on them. The thoughts disgust you every single time because you are that against them. That how I felt with gay ocd. I say “felt” because my mind got so used to it that I feel like I don’t care, but just not caring scares me. its weird, but what I am trying to say is that I understand the pain of these evil thoughts that you heavily dislike is driving you crazy.

I’m going through the same thing with my HOCD, I just don’t get scared and I have no anxiety anymore either, which terrifies me, and I don’t just want to not act on these thoughts. I want to make sure that these thoughts never existed at all. That this OCD never exists in my head. Because all POCD will bring is pain, evil, and destruction. I will never be attracted to kids. I have never been attracted to kids. It’s a disgusting, awful, and an evil thing to be attracted to kids. I will never, ever, let my POCD win.

Please look at my last two posts and help me out. I know I’m asking for too much, but you and bank seem like the kindest people on the forum who can help me. The last time I asked for help with my HOCD, some dude I blocked triggered me by telling me that I was gay or bisexual in denial on this exact NOCD forum. So I had (and still have) some paranoia about people calling me a pedo or gay/bisexual in denial.

Psychiatrists are the guys that are able to diagnose you, and send you on your way with meds. Therapists are the ones that do ERP, talk therapy, actually listen to you give you practical coping mechanisms and advice. However they cannot prescribe you medication. Both in conjunction are very helpful!

I forgot to answer the second half lol. For me therapy we as very helpful :) I also got to learn life skills and ways to cope with my anxiety, etc. It was also nice to just have someone to talk to that could help in a practical way. Sometimes we would even just talk about music, movies, etc.

Ok first off, you’re style of messaging and you’re humor is 👏👏👏 Ok, my mother works in this field, so after deeply interrogating her I have received some notes. - ERP therapy for OCD is the most effective of all, with an around 85% success rate - some therapists give you medication, there are SO many good ones who will listen to you and help you out to begin with. NOCD therapy I’ve heard is spectacular! Yee 👏👏👏
