Guest OCDsufferer9 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I suffer from POCD. I'm having these feelings like I actually am attracted/want to act out on my thoughts? Like, I get feelings which feel so real almost to what I usually feel towards adults? I'm so scared and depressed. Is this OCD? Link to comment
Guest irretractable Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hi OCDsufferer9, I noticed you're posting the same question. Clearly you're really freaking out, and I'm sorry you feel so bad. It seems like a lot of people have reassured you that this is OCD, but you're still having a hard time. What do you think would be helpful at this point? Link to comment

Accept that unwanted urges are normal with OCD? Link to comment
Guest irretractable Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Yes, that's what you have to accept. And you have to accept that there is absolutely no way to know with 100% certainty the reason for those urges. But you have to go about your life anyway. Link to comment

It's very hard to be asked to believe something when your mind is constantly giving you reasons why not to believe it is only OCD. These past 2 days I was doing so well, believing it is OCD. In fact, I was a bit horny and it was automatic to have an urge towards adults. I felt, at the time, that those unwanted urges were more like false messages but now I'm doubting everything.

Guest legend Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 yep so you post, thats reassurance seeking. Panic , fear ,doubt , =post . and that same cycle happens hard , but youve got to resist it Link to comment
Guest OCDsufferer9 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I will try my best but it's very hard as it feels so real and so similar to what I usually feel towards adults and that's why it troubles me. Link to comment
