Thank you. You're not saying I am a pedophile though right? I'm supposed to just accept maybe, maybe not?
I’ve had this exact feeling, it’s terrible, this happened to me a couple of nights ago, which also came along with an intrusive dream about it and I did wake up with an “e”, I felt so disgusting and wanted to kms, but my therapist said that dreams tend not to be so literal and that they’re just thoughts, I’m still panicked, but I’m gonna keep trying
@Dialup Oh my God thank you, I just got so terrified, I’ve been avoiding family gatherings because of this, OCD is truly awful, I miss when I never thought of this stuff, thank you so much though, this really helped!
I have POCD events! Accidentally seeing things worried if the stuff I used to look at if it was underage or not. I'm 15, and it sucks, I wish everything was only thoughts. It would make me feel less of a disconnect with y'all.
Yes, OCD can definitely present in the form of intrusive feelings, urges, etc. And with taboo themes, in particular POCD, this can feel so triggering because it tricks you into considering whether you would actually like it. This can lead you spinning into lots of anxiety and doubt. The reality is you finished that statement with "now my whole life is ruined completely, not sure if I can move on from this". Someone who truly liked those thoughts would be curious about them, they would think they are fantastic, they would make efforts to try to see those urges through and try to experiment with them. Your OCD will read that and still doubt it because there's always more "but what if.." when it comes to OCD, so that's why sitting with the uncertainty is so important. We can't give OCD what it wants which is trying to logic your way out of it - it doesn't work. You have to have the experience of letting the intrusive experiences be there, not responding to them, and moving on with your day as though they do not matter. This sends the message to your brain that these experiences do not warrant a type of response and are not important enough to trip you up.
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
I think these are the worst real events ive ever done... and Im so triggered because the last thing I want is to be a a P or a MAP... im triggered because I dont want the people ive become friends with on NOCD to block me because they think im a P or a MAP... thats the last thing I want... When I was 18, i unknowingly consumed l*licon a couple times... I didnt know what the term was at the time... I thought that since it was on a public site, and it had millions of views, that i thought it was safe to consume... when I did my research when I was 19 onto what exactly the term was... I was horrified and mortified... I puked and gagged and felt numb for days... it's been 5 years since then... im 23... and the last thing I want is to ever be exposed to this kind of content ever again... let alone consume it... I should've been more knowledgeable and it's my fault... my pocd and real events ocd call me a P and a MAP when these are the LAST things i want to be... I know what I did was wrong and I regret it immensely till this day... and im so overwhelmed...
I'm posting something after a long. I have multiple Ocd themes and my main themes of sexual ocd is incest Ocd and Hocd and POCD has never been so active but today something happened that has been bothering me for a while. I was traveling in a bus and there I saw a kid/young teen. When I saw him, I instantly found him so attractive and then BOOM.. I started feeling like I'm attracted to him. I felt confused. I literally found him attractive and also thought that he would look really fine after growing up his face was so attractive but I don't want to be into him at all. I feel like I'm so much into him. I'm feeling very bothered by this feeling. I feel like I'm in denial and I should accept my attraction towards him. I don't want to feel this way at all. I don't understand what to do, how to figure out this feeling. I'm 99% sure that there was an underlying attraction I felt when I looked at him and realized that he is good looking. I feel like dying from inside and extremely confused. He's not in my bus now and I feel urges to just see him once to finally figure out that I'm into him or not but he is not here. I think I'm a pedophile which I don't want to be and everything is finished now, nothing would be same in my mind because I'm so paranoid and feeling like I'm into him. Please somebody help me and let me know if anyone of you has ever felt this way having POCD.
