Hey I am having a hard time with POCD right now. Can anyone willing, please have me give u my number or whatever works and we can talk? I’m having an awful time. Maybe call or face time idk. I need someone who can relate. :((

what age are you love? and are u in the uk

15 and in the US :(

@Anonymous321 I see :( I’m in the uk, but I’m 24 but my pocd is weird and I feel like a criminal if I speak to anyone under 18 out with this app ☹️ I totally relate to you though, you’re not alone at all

@Anonnnymous Okay that’s okay. Thank you anyways ❤️

@Anonymous321 I’m 22, otherwise I’d love to reach out to you outside this app. Whats going on though?

@micgarza ✞ I just feel as though I really am a p. And I can’t go on. I can’t keep thinking this and what if I am? I can’t pretend like I’ll make it through this.

@Anonymous321 You will make it through this you will learn to manage this I promise. You are so young still and have so much to look forward to!

@Anonnnymous One day will I be able to have kids and get married and not doubt myself anymore?

@Anonymous321 Of course! Another way to look at it is that you just have OCD, it doesn’t matter the theme or the content because it’s all just ocd at the end of the day. It’s still obsessions and mental compulsions regardless of how taboo or common the theme. Pocd is more common than you think and you’re so brave to even admit that you are suffering from it! But it’s ocd and nothing more than that.

@Anonymous321 You need to look for therapy through NOCD.

@Anonymous321 That's if you haven't already:)

@Anonnnymous Thank you so so much. ❤️❤️

@Anonnnymous Thankyou for this, this made me feel better because I feel invalidated or like a monster for having pocd but what you said about it all just being ocd at the end of the day makes me feel better

@random_person Awwww you’re welcome I’m glad it made you feel a little at ease. It’s so true and sometimes need to remind myself of it more often too lol.
