This is an intrusive thought that got stuck. Please stop trying to seek reassurance and sit with the thought until it becomes less scary.

i know it seems like they're wanting reassureance but, to me it doesnt seem that way as they're saying how they feel negative or otherwise. they are just having a very bad intrusive thought and sometimes it gets us going down a spiral. but please try to be a little respectful as i read what you said as rude even though i think you werent trying to be

Glad to help! Hang in there- there is always a light at the end of an OCD spiral even if it doesn't seem like it in the moment

You are not a monster at all. Ive dealt with the same thing. If you didnt have any anxiety or guilt about the situation then it would be different. True pedophiles could care less about hurting kids. Ive dealt with POCD for 20 years and still have good days and bad days. Hang in there. POCD is a living nightmare but it can get better

Hey is there any way to contact you like your discord? I am suffering a lot and I think you could really help me. Sorry if that is too much to ask

The fact that you're worried confirms that it is an intrusive thought.

@nohope123 Have you spoken to a therapist versed in OCD about this?

@nohope123 I'm sorry to hear you are in that situation. Maybe your community has a social worker that is experienced in OCD that would be able to chat with you? I don't think there is an expense for that type of thing- I could be wrong depending on your country (Canadian here). Either way, please know I believe in you, and I really hope you don't make such a permanent decision without seeing a professional of some sort to help you work through your OCD around it. The fact that you're thinking of that procedure to prevent something very clearly tells me that you're brain is tricking you into believing something that is just not true.

I dont actually have discord. I really want to help people who struggle with what Ive dealt with but Im gonna go through my therapy sessions soon and work on getting myself 100% first. I still have 2-3 times a year where I get brain locked. Im in one of those episodes right now. Let me work on myself and get better than I can help others. The best thing I ever did was face my fears and talk to a local therapist. Have you seen anyone?

It first started hitting me at puberty and Im now 40, so I guess 25 years. Ive had OCD since I was a little child. Ive experienced most of sub categories from sexusl orientation to having to turn lights on and off ect but POCD and what comes along with it has been the worst. Im so glad NOCD is here for people because I struggled for a long time to summon the courage to discuss it. You dont want anyone to think your a pedophile when that’s actually the opposite of what you are. How have I done it? To be honest I found a good therapist who I went to for a long time but he retired. It hits me hard 2-3x a year when Im very stressed. I’m hoping with this therapy program and working with people who understand it I can learn coping mechanisms

Do I still get anxiety? Ya I do. When I get bad Im trying to work on ways to cope. I have a very stressful busy life so thats been causing mine to beat me up. The most important thing is getting the right medication and a good therapist

What is happening to me (Warning)
I fear I may have POCD, I am terrified of being a pedophile. my symptoms were initially strong surges of anxiety. I made the mistake of looking up what pedophilia is about and now I fear I am one. I have a bad masturbation problem and that didnt help, as now I feel a weird feeling down below and its distressing me. I'm only 20, this never happened to me before and now I only feel confusion and doubt, Ive cried like never before cause of this.

This felt way too real!!
Why the h•••ll did this happen to me? Seriously, I felt like a normal person yesterday, and now this morning, I feel like I am now a p•••do. When I first woke up, I kept thinking about about the usual things about a kid, only this time it felt real. It was like I was into them sexually and because of that, my private parts growed. Even though I kept saying "no, no ,no" a lot, I felt was only talking to open air and it didn't feel like I meant it God, for the last couple of days, I truly felt normal for once, and against these thoughts. But now I know that I am a p•••do and a piece of s••••it for seeing kids that way. If I could go back before all of this happened, I f••••cking would. Because I KNOW I was never like this before.

PLEASE HELP ME. PLEASE. I'M BEGGING.
Okay so I'm young. A bit young than u might Imagine. Me and my boyfriend where bored and I searched up gay porn js as a joke on google. It was completely blurred. And we where js talking about our truma, and personal stuff while literally just looking at the titles. And I saw a title. A title that has trumstixed me before (I saw the actual video before involving a minor. ) and I clicked on it, still heavily blurred to show my boyfriend the title. And i said baby this really effected me this video. And then I looked below it, same video, blurred. Different title. And I clicked on it to stupidly read the other title. And it FUCKING UNBLURRED. and I SCREAMED saying to my boyfriend if he saw it. And he said no he looked away. And he was so unfazed. And I asked chat gpt about it and it said what I done was NOT okay. Because I looked at child stuff on purpose? My heart has just SANK. self harm urges are back. INTENSE confession compulsions to my mum are back. What do I do. Please someone help.
