It’s hard I understand but you need to see that if you are getting this distressed off it then it’s obvious your not! If you see videos of P’s online they have no remorse, they want to keep it a secret, they know it’s wrong but they don’t care they still go through with it! You can’t help what comes into your mind, the fact how you get distressed by these thoughts shows a lot! And if you don’t get distressed, they are unwanted and that is the one way of getting OCD to go, know they are unwanted and they don’t mean anything and get the anxiety to go by sitting with it! Good luck :)

Thank you for your post, I still find it so difficult to talk about POCD. I also suffer a lot from intrusive thoughts, groinal responses and even dreams. Now I'm much better, I hope that as time passes this will improve more and more, as will the treatment. I hope you get well soon, good luck!

I'm struggling with POCD it's causing me to feel very unsafe
I'm struggling with pocd it feels very real and I'm at a point where I feel I need to go to confess to the police stuff I know I haven't done but have false memories of doing and I feel like nobody thinks like this and very alone.

False arousal and uncertainty
Just gonna vent, this never happened to me before during my 20 years alive. Whether it is POCD or not, I have truly lost my sense of self and my innocence. Why of all things did this have to happen. Ive been experiencing more strong groinal responses and mixed feelings of arousal regarding specific thoughts. Its so odd, cause last month none of this happened, it was mainly just anxiety and mental breakdowns. Never did I think I would experience physical sensations as well. Acting on compulsions as well left me feeling absolute confusion, Ive stopped doing that but now I get the urge here and there, and Ive learned to sit with the discomfort. All this leaves me with more questions on whether I will truly get through this or not, or if people will understand my situation. On certain days I feel fine, on other days its sheer terror. I blame myself mainly for this all, It is scary as these images, causing both arousal and terror, only result in me feeling like a shell of my former self

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
