Pocd thoughts. Sometimes I have thoughts of "it's OK if youre a p" or "it's fine if you do bad things to children". And then I'm like... Wth is wrong with me?? Am I the only one?? I don't know if it's my head trying to give me a rest or trying to cope with it... I just... Hate these thoughts!! I don't want to think like this!! Am I alone in this? ;-; I feel so disgusting... I have a gf and I want to be happy with her and these thoughts usually follow that. Or if I'm trying to ruminate... God...

I get those thoughts too..: it’s like our POCD is trying to find some way to make us triggered.

Not alone. These thoughts could be intrusive, and most likely are. The one thing that really helped me was treating these thoughts like fucked up jokes. When a thought would appear, responding with something like “damn that’s crazy” or “that’s wild” really took the legitimacy away from the thoughts, but leaning into the fear and disgust and letting it make its way through without compulsions is the only way to get over this shit!
