So urges are apart of ocd right well anyway here’s what’s bothering me. One time I confessed to my mom everything that was wrong with my intrusive thoughts and feelings. And they are mostly about my niece because she’s the only kid really in my life right now. So my mom doesn’t believe I have ocd. She gets mad at me every time I mention it and it makes me really upset to not have a supportive parent even thought I’m 22 but still she’s my mom. So one time she told me that if I ever had an urge to let her know. I’m guess that she meant if it was a real urge if I wanted to do something. Ocd is different. It is unwanted and absolutely sucks and causes fear and anxiety. I’ve had a couple urges recently regarding my niece and I would never EVER act on them or even want to. I absolutely hate that this is even happening to me. I can’t confess either because it’s a compulsion and makes things worse. I don’t know what to do. Should I just keep everything to myself. I tried talking to my therapist about it and it didn’t help and hopefully in the future my mom can talk to my therapist. I know this is a long story I just feel so alone and feel so misunderstood. I’m scared my mom thinks I’m a monster or if I actually told her about my “ocd intrusive urges” she will hate me forever and never let me near anyone again.

Hi I’m 24, I understand everything entirely and I’m sorry you’re going through this. Do you want to talk offline?

I might like to talk as someone who has POCD

@Anonymous Well I’m ready to listen but I don’t have pocd. I have zocd

@Anonymoussssss Thats ok! I have dabbled woth zocd and incest OCD, all sexual OCDs :)

@Anonymous I’ve had thoughts about kids not thankfully never full blown pocd

@Anonymous Alright. Where can we talk? Discord?

So sorry I fell asleep and haven’t been able to answer. Thank you for answering. I don’t know why I just feel like I’m hiding it from my mom but I know it’s ocd I was diagnosed. I just feel like this constant need to confess everything and it makes everything that much more upsetting because I don’t want to talk about it anymore

@Anonymous I have pocd too you are definitely not alone

Also I believe when my mom told me to tell her if I’ve had urges I believe she meant if I WANTED to do them I have no intention or I definitely don’t want to to do anything to anyone so that’s a little relieving I guess I just wish my mom could understand me and ocd

@Just Breathe ❤️ Do you want to chat

@Anonymous I just don’t want to give out my number

@Anonymous I have discord though

@Just Breathe ❤️ That works

@Anonymous Magnificent26 is mine

Be there for him. Hear him out and listen to what he has to say. Support your son and make sure he knows he’s not alone. I know what pocd is like and it’s a total nightmare to have to deal with by yourself

What’s your username?

U can use discord the chat app

@Anonymous Or do you have something else?
