Hi, My name is stephen and hope you don’t mind me reaching out. This is my sons account and using this to gather support for my wife and I. My son has been sectioned for trying to take his own life twice in the last 7 days which is extremely heartbreaking for is My wife and I have seen my son suffer for over 2 years with OCD of a child nature and homosexual nature and we have no idea what to do as a family going forward. We have seen mutilple therapist over the years who have indicated to us as a family he suffers from severe OCD and is not a pedophile or Gay. He mentioned to Julie and i he was coming onto this application software to obtain help but seems it’s been the ultimate cause of his mental health. He has reported back to us on daily basis that you can have Homosexual obsessions and realise you are Gay and also Child obsessions and realise you are pedophile. This is where it leaves my wife and I in a difficult situation as I have attended multiple therapy sessions with my son and documented the dialogue from councillors in private conversations saying this isn’t true. So I ask why has my son deteriorated so much from this application? And is this true? Kind regards.

I’m sorry, he sounds like he’s really deep into his obsession. I had a similar concern/fear that I have ocd and I am going to realize I am obsession (which also made me suicidal) . Erp therapy through this app helped a ton. Remember ocd causes a lot of doubt for the person and it’s no surprise that it may have latched onto something like this. Ocd can have somebody completely convinced about their obsessions sometimes, and with the child obsessions it can be very traumatic. He may have also been spending a lot of time on the app preforming compulsions like reassurance seeking, rumination, reasearching his obsessions..etc. which probably made his ocd worse. Sending my thoughts, and wishing the best for your family

I’m so sorry you all are going through this. I highly recommend you reach out to his current therapist for this information. They would be able to help you the most.

If email would be better suited I can provide me email as I am lamen when it comes to phone applications/software. Kind regards. Stephen

You have to start nocd app treatment and also research about ocd and don't give reassurance to child tell them that there are so many like him struggling with this ocd

Dear respondents, Thank you so much. I am just a father trying to help my son get back to how he was before. So a few questions for my wife and I as we are trying to learn and educate ourselves. Does OCD mean this is not true or can it be true? If it can be true with sexual obsesseions why are therapists not implying for clients to go out and experiment with the same sex? If this is doubt about sexuality wouldn’t going out and experiencing the same sex be a better indicator for people struggling with HOCD. Please forgive an terminology i have used I am not an OCD sufferer and trying to help my son If this is accessed and viewed by professionals or would be nice to speak to enable us to help me son Kind regards

Thank you. How would i reach out to the support groups. Isabella what is the OCD condition about? Can someone realise this is true. My son’s therapist have indicated this doesn’t happen or hasn’t happened but my son has read this can be true. My wife and I am are so confused in ourselves what is true and what is not. Could you kindly educate briefly. Kind regards
