There have been 3 separate times where I have scrolled through Facebook and a different person with a hacked account has posted real, actual child porn. The first two times I called the cops and talked to the FBI. The third time I just took my anxiety attack pill and went to sleep. The thing about crime like that is that you have to have sought it out yourself. Stumbling upon something or having it forced into your line of vision isn't really like a big deal. It's something that happened to you, not smth you did, you get me?

I think this might be seeking some reassurance. I struggle with HOCD and I have similar pure-o mental checks and worries. You might have to just try to sit with the uncertainty that you could have done something illegal. You may have, you may not. You won’t know. But also remember to be kind to yourself. You are not your thoughts. Your mind racing and trying to fix or solve this is not possible and looking for answers is going to make things worse. Maybe try to say oops, I might have done something illegal today, or I might not have. And whatever happens will happen. Try using the SOS feature in the app!

I do checking compulsions like this , but only when I’m kinda sure it’s not child pornography . Like if I see a girl on tik tok doing something a little sexual I’ll be like what if it’s cp but then still watch it . With this one it was the underwear and legs of a kid so that is what freaks me out . I have two obsessions . One is : did I do an illegal compulsion , and the next is whether that image is even child porn . It’s really freaking me out . It’s not that I’m scared I’m a pedo I know I don’t like those images , I’m just terrified of committing such a serious crime

I’m worried about times when Child P*rn or suspicious porn videos have come up in the past. I tend to use Twitter for porn and it’s not the most moderated app out there but I was never looking for videos or pictures or anything related to that. Unfortunately stuff still has popped up and I’m just worried about if my reaction was perfect because I have intense POCD I want to say it’s nearly as severe as it can get so I just feel as if I remember times when something suspicious came up and I stayed for a moment to make sure I wasn’t attracted or maybe left and came back to be sure I was safe and didn’t like it and I’m afraid this counts as seeking out or engaging in illegal content that would get me in trouble. I’ve never once looked this stuff up and anyone who creates saves distributed or likes this stuff I believe deserves prison time for life but I’m just so worried that I didn’t react in the way I should’ve I’m 20 years old so I’m relatively young and I’m jus worried about what this means about me any one else deal with anything similar?

So one day a couple months ago I saw some posts on threads pop up on instagram and they said I’m 17 and horny and 18 and horny or I think I even remember see a 16 year old one. I’m 20 and I remembered that when those popped up I clicked on them and I don’t know if I did it out of true attraction or out of the urge to make my anxiety go away. I feel like often times if I see something that says any number under 18 even if it has nothing to do with age it could be talking about season 17 of a tv show my mind immediately goes what?? 17??? And then I click on it to make my anxiety go away. So when I remembered all of this I downloaded the threads app because I wanted to see if I could get reassurance and see if I could rekindle how I felt in these moments. When I opened the app all I saw was posts like that but everyone claimed to be 18. The only problem is none of the girls looked 18 they looked like 14-16 so I started to panic I and worry that because I clicked on the threads in the past it popped up more and I was a pedophile for that. All of the accounts all pretty much had only fans links so at that point I was like well they have to be 18 then but now I’m worried that maybe it’s a scammer and they are using underage pictures of girls and putting them on onlyfans. Which I know is out of my control but I just feel like a Pedo and like I did something wrong. Does anyone have any advice? Or have any similar situations/ similarities with this?

When I was around 19-20 I believe I showed my then 8-9 cousin crude pictures (e.g a cartoon image of a butt). I don’t know how many times I did this but I believe I was trying to be predatory by giving me control over her (not sexual just the feeling of wanting control)and also cuz I thought it was funny. For some reason this didn’t really start bothering me until now (I’m now 22). I don’t have any desire to hurt children. I’m scared by what I feel I’ve done. Should I go to the police?
