@Just Breathe ❤️ Hey there! I replied on one of your comments from last night too. I'm sorry you're feeling stressed, but I don't think you did anything wrong Just Breathe. But I can relate with what you're saying. I've gotten worried for finding a younger person attractive before too. But I remind myself that it's just my OCD making me overworry about it, OCD purposefully sabotages us and makes us worry about things. We don't have to give it power over us, we can fight against it by ignoring it. I know it's a lot easier said than done, like I REALLY know it's difficult to just ignore the thoughts, but it really helps so much. I pray you'll find peace tonight friend! Have a good night. By the way, your pet cat in your profile picture is cute! I know thats random, but I just wanted to say that, lol.

@Just Breathe ❤️ Hi again! Sorry for the late reply, I was pretty busy today and I wasn't able to get on the app until now... But it makes me sad to know you're still struggling, but I can really relate. I don't believe you have done anything wrong friend. OCD is just a bully, and in the case of it being OCD I would say do NOT stand up to this bully in the traditional sense.(which means don't fight back against your OCD, that only gives it more power over you) Instead ignore what your OCD is telling you, just don't listen to anything it has to say. I know I basically already said the same thing last night but just in less words, but it really does help, I speak from experience, although I admit that it is extremely difficult to ignore OCD. But I really think it will make a big difference for you. Also try talking to a therapist (I don't know if you currently have one or not though) But most importantly, I wanted to ask you what's something good that happened today? :) what did you do today?

@Drew777 Hi I totally understand! Thank you for responding I truly appreciate it. OCD really has been a bully to me lately and honestly this theme has torn me apart. I will definitely try and do my best to not listen to what ocd tries to tell me even though it feels so real sometimes, I know my morals and what I believe in. Today nothing special happened. I just worked and came home. Didn’t do much today except work so 🤷🏻♀️

@Just Breathe ❤️ I'm just glad to help in anyway that I can. :) I just thought I'd ask about your day because I've realized it can really be helpful to just talk about stuff to get your mind off of OCD and life's troubles. When I met my wife she always used to ask me (and still does) "what's something good that happened today?". At first I didn't always know how to reply, but I soon realized it made a big difference in how I looked at things in life. It helped me so much just to start looking at the positive things around me each day that before I didn't really use to notice. By the way, I hope it's not weird that I keep responding to you a lot, I don't wanna be a weirdo. It's just nice to see familiar people on here each time I get on, I like to see how they're doing and offer them more advice if I have anything positive I feel like I can share with them and it's something I can relate to. :) It's nice to have this OCD community to just be a part of, and to know I can talk to people who struggle with similar issues that I do. I wish they had some more features on this app, but overall it's pretty great. :)

@Drew777 That’s actually so nice and I never know what to say when people ask me that because it seems like every day is negitive because of my ocd but just knowing I’m not alone is so nice. No no no you are totally fine. It’s nice to have people to talk to that get it ya know? That understand the struggles and stuff when dealing with ocd. I definitely wish this app had more features but hey it’s just great to have this community in the first place 🙂

When my mother and father got married she was 17 and he was 23. They have been married for 40 years.

sometimes it happens. if you really think about it, thats why in dating people ask for each others ages first

If you did think they were attractive, why would that bad? Is it wrong to see that a 16 year old looks good?

To me it is. Why? Is that not a bad thing? I thought it was especially because my pocd messes with my mind and scares me

Like I was getting intrusive thoughts that they were hot too and that freaked me out also. I’m not even attracted to woman especially anyone younger than 20 so

@Just Breathe ❤️ Maybe you did think they were attractive, maybe not. Would it be a problem if you did?

@Hoor-Pa-Kraat I don’t know. It just feels so wrong to me. I feel guilty like I’ve done something wrong but I never had an intention of doing so

What do I do
when I was 15 soon to turn 16, I met this girl in a IG group chat made by our mutual friends. We started talking and eventually we started flirting and talking sexual towards each other, though eventually we stopped talking because she was being really weird. A couple months later In July of 2024 my friend found out that she was actually 13 and that she lied to me about her age. It's been 10 months since l've found out and I still feel so disgusted in myself. I had my suspicions at the time but I let them go since she said she was 16 turning 17. I was completely oblivious trusting someone I only knew online especially since i've never seen their face either. i'm struggling on what to do since i've been suffering with POCD since I was 15. Till this day I still feel weird and disgusted in myself because of that. But it feels ironic since i'm sexualizing someone that's 2 years younger than me and I waited to confirm she was around my age range to sexualize her. I feel so weird and guilty about it idk what to do

Maybe it is OCD (please say anything)
I have no idea anymore. I guess this all started with me worrying about whether I was gay, then whether I was a P, then worried about being just attracted to teenagers. After that I started freaking out about not feeling “grown up” enough. Like “I’m an adult wtf is wrong with me for seeing someone who is probably younger and thinking they’re physically attractive. Then I started overthinking not finding older adults (like 30 or 40) very attractive. Like ofc I’m probably not gonna find them attractive, they’re not anywhere close my age. Maybe the desires are half real. Maybe as a 21 yr old young adult I do find older teenagers (16+) somewhat physically attractive. I still think it’d be weird to date one. Maybe that’s the normal reaction I’m supposed to have. If not, please let me know. I just don’t wanna do anything illegal one day and I’m super scared I will. I can’t tell if the fear is my just being afraid of the law though, in which case I might actually just be a bad person. I hate that my brain is just rationalizing thoughts now. I feel like I can’t do the ERP thing of “just accept that the thoughts are there but don’t engage.” Like what? How can I just think a thought that might be so integral to my identity and just ignore it? If it’s all true and I don’t like people my age anymore then I have to know and plan around that, that could change my entire life. I’m rambling, my b.

I’m Scared my undiagnosed POCD isn’t OCD
Im 16 years old and female and up until very late last year and this year I’ve been having thought almost every day that I’m a pedophile or that I’m sexually attracted to or want a romantic relationship with child. I don’t know how to explain it and I don’t want judgment because I’m genuinely so scared and disgusted, but anytime I’m around children I feel my chest tighten, my body feels warm and it feels like I don’t know how to breathe. I sometimes get a groomer response but even then I don’t know if it’s a ground response or not. Also I tend to stare at children when I’m anywhere near them, I feel like if I don’t I’m a weirdo and if I don’t look at them it means I’m attracted to them which I guess could be POCD but I feel like I stare at them inappropriately. Not too long ago maybe three weeks ago I went to the park with my family and there were two girls in their swim suits and I was looking at their backsides and I felt really anxious and scared like I usually do but I felt so upset by looking at them that way and now I’m scared to go to pools or splash pads because every time I do I feel like I stare at them gross and I just feel so disgusted with myself. When I tell myself not to look I end up looking and then I stare. I feel better when I’m not around them but even then, I look back at what I saw earlier that day and I feel anxious again and then I look up what’s been happening and then I feel more worried it’s not OCD. My friends who have OCD say I might have it but I can’t get a therapist, I can’t talk to anyone I’m scared I’ll be put in jail and that I’m not a good person. I’ve never head thoughts like this until this year and near the end of last year and they come now? I don’t know what to do.
