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

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

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 thatβs 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. Iβm 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

So I was on a hat chat gpt and it said that people who are non-offenders experience distress and anxiety and disgust and depression and they feel ashamed of being a non-offender like WHAT like that's honestly terrifying and I'm so scared because that's how I've been feeling like when I'm out I get anxiety too especially when I see a younger person I always been attracted to MEN my whole life can people turn into monsters and I don't even care if they have problems if there attracted to kids then there sick in the head like don't care like this has been sharing me soo much and the worst part about it is that they said some are in denial or suppress their attractions I'm so done...... I can not do this this is too much I would rather be gone from this earth than find out that I might be one like you have to be kidding me if you're attracted to young people and desire that you're sick and dead to me you're a monster I don't care like its disgusting. for this eole some people are suffering from POCD like me are scared to think about that and I'm terrified.

Sometimes I think " do I like kids?" "Would i get aroused if I saw content with kids?""What if I'm a pedo and cant accept it?" "What if I'm ok with these thoughts?" "What if I'm not distressed enough " "What if I enjoy these thoughts?" , i avoid kids as much as i can, i cant look at them bc I'm scared I'm gonna have some groin like response. I keep testing if I'd get turned on or if I'd have some groinal response to sexual scenarios with kids. Sometimes I think that if I took my life this would be over and i wouldn't have to think about this and i wish i doubted something else instead of things like this. I had similar situations just with different topics such as if i loved or found sexually appealing a guy while in a relationship and i kept asking myself those questions for months and i avoided going to school for weeks and when I went I'd cry and have anxiety attacks. I had it with past actions i obessed over and felt the need to exploit every detail and be honest because otherwise i was being a fraud. I had it for sexual things that happened when i was a child. Im not diagnosed with ocd but should i tell this to my local counselor? Can someone help? Give me advice or tell me anything?
