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.

Can somebody plz fking help me
Ive dealt with pocd for a very long time now and it gets more real as time goes on. I was watching a movie and I’ve read the books so I knew there was a kiss scene coming up.The actors and their characters are children but I was basically looking forward to the scene. Then as they were kissing, it looked kind of weird and mechanical because again the actor was technically still a child. And I let myself indulge and enjoy it, of how someone young was doing something sexual and adult like. Idk I feel like a fuckikg creep but I don’t WANT this. There was nothing intrusive about this, it’s just something creepy that I’ve done. I keep ruminating about it but still. I don’t identify myself by this mistake but it still sucks. My mind then went to children that I know, one girl and one boy, and them separately doing sexual things for the first time and navigating that and it feels like I like it but I don’t. It’s not as real as the movie scene because the fact I enjoyed the scene WAS real but it’s still stressing me out.

POCD without guilt or shame
I am 15 years old and my POCD feels like its not POCD, i feel like i like my intrusive thoughts, but i have more intrusive thoughts about having intrusive thoughts, and i feel like i cant enjoy the things i normally enjoy anymore, like calling with my girlfriend and joking with her because this is still in the back of my mind, its making me question morals and if i ever even viewed P as completely wrong and i hate this so much, i love my nieces and nephews and when they're over i know id never do anything with my intrusive thoughts but when they arent present i feel like i like my thoughts. Before this i was dealing with HOCD and ROCD and i wish i could go back to that
