Does anyone else find a lot of music difficult to listen to while dealing with this theme? I find I can't listen to music in the same way since this all started for me. I also can't get to sleep anymore and have developed a pretty significant case of insomnia.

Yes…the word ‘baby’ is used so much in music it can trigger my pocd - sorry your struggling with this too it’s awful

I struggle with false attraction it feels like I genuinely am what I fear but I can't just act like these feelings aren't there but then again acknowledging it means acknowledging that it's true and not my OCD!!!

[@samwilliams837]

OCD makes it feel as real as it can possibly get. It wouldn’t be the disorder it is if it didn’t do that.

I keep venting to family and venting and ruminating and stressing and feelings of impending doom! I can't sleep I can't focus and I'm not happy😭

[@amylever1997]

This has really helped me thank you. Its such a tragedy that us people with OCD feel ashamed when actually in my experience people with OCD are the kindest most deserving people you could meet.

For 6 years I suffered from HOCD, but now I'm developing another theme that I'm not even sure if it's even OCD, I think I might have POCD, I started to be afraid that I might be attracted to little children, I look at pictures of little girls on the internet to see what I feel, I have intrusive thoughts but not as often as with HOCD and I think they are not as bothersome, I feel the urge to want to do something with them, but it doesn't seem forced , it's like I really want this, I then start to sound and feel my body get hotter, I can't tell if I'm really attracted to kids or if it's just POCD, I don't want to be a monster and I want to be attracted to girls my age, help!

I wonder if some people with POCD are just frustrated p£d0philes because they don't know how to access the ultimate C P to relieve all their tension

[@astrowolfy9936]

So POCD Just started for me now that iam planning having baby 😢 It actually started after I remmember having pleasure watching sexual content with one of my boyfriends, and at that time It was not bad but today I see that It was a really bad and male chauvinist. How i dont feel guilty in this situation?

[@ceruleanprince7139]

Did the content involve children? If it did, did you really have pleasure, or was it forced in a way?
