POCD turned HOCD

Hey,
I had a really painful time with POCD couple of months ago for about 8-9 months.
It was a terrible and frustrating experience and got me really depressed and super obsessed. Now it seems like it turned to HOCD(which is not new to me but never bothered me and made me too much depressed) and all the POCD emotions and obsessions are on a very low volume like they don't even exist.

did anyone have the same experience of shifting obsessions ?

Hi there

I think I might have POCD. Atleast I hope it's just pocd. May I ask how you knew it was pocd and not real pedophillia? I'm confused.. And I seem to have alot of past memories that prove I'm a pedo. I also feel less attarction to adults which really bothers me since I want to be with an adult, at least I think I want to be.. UGH..

Hey

As far I know the problem with POCD and OCD in general is that you can never tell what's real cuz your brain tricks you.. so you just have to accept the thoughts and live with them and it is extremely hard. in my case I can say that i'm not bothered to be near children anymore.. the spikes are not so hard as they used to be and my old obsession came to life so.. yeah

hope it helps
