OMG IM SO SCARED I DID SOMETHING ILLEGAL . I was on Instagram and went on this anime account and from what I remember I saw a picture of a girls underwear and thighs like a cartoon picture . I was weirded out and scared and shocked and while on the page I noticed a picture of a guy touching shirks chest and backed out . Then I went back to report the pictures . Now I’m not sure exactly what happened . I saw the picture again and I’m not sure if I just reported it or if I performed a checking compulsion of looking at it to determine whether it’s child porn. That would be illegal since drawn cp is illegal here . Or whether I just saw it as a shock response . Then I reported the other image . Im so scared o committed a crime . Did I commit a crime ???

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!
