Get well from POCD thoughts without therapy?

Postby zombieworld » Thu Jan 05, 2012 11:12 pm

I will start by refering to my first thread:
post687530.html?hilit=zombieworld#p687530

Since I posted it I have now come to the conclusion that I suffer from what I think is temporarly POCD since I found this on a blog while I was searching the web:
"Nowadays, with Child Molester Mass Hysteria on the rampage and everyone worried about “pedos” and “predators,” it’s only logical that people with OCD would find this the perfect fear. What could be more terrifying than the fact that one may be a pedophile? Not much. Hence, POCD."

I have for most of my teens been trubbled with the thought of not fitting in. But as I got older i realised that I could make something pretty cool out of my weirdness and has never been trubbled about not "being the norm" anymore. But then the things I wrote in the previous thread start to come up in my mind. Since I know what the problem is I know that I can fix it (perhaps this is a workdamage from my studies to become an engineer) and probably without therapy. Am I making a misstake here, or is it just to fight the urges of digging deeper/fighting the thoughts for a couple of weeks and they'll be going away? How can I most easily fight this thoughts without going to a psychatrist?

Hi, zombieworld! It might be better to see a psych, people might not be able to get over POCD on their own. You might need meds and a special kind of therapy.
