18 February 2018 - 23:32 POCD less anxiety

Hello everyone,I have been in ERP for OCD in the last 5 weeks and it has helped a lot! However, I still get intrusive thoughts and no anxiety, which my mind loves to perceive as if I am turning into the monster I fear. I know i would never do something horrible, but my mind keeps telling me that since I have less or no anxiety, then it must be true and I have been faking the OCD.I need help and feel really bad because I am doing this as reassurance (which is the thing I am supposed not to do)
25 January 2018 - 6:54 POCD not feeling that anxious

Hello everyone, I have started my third session of ERP, and this week started to work on the POCD obsessions, we basically went over some triggering words/phrases, and the therapist asked me to repeat and write them. In the last week, I have had a reduction of intrusive thoughts and groinal responses, and the anxiety has decreased significantly. Is it normal to not feel that anxious after you start therapy, what if this is not ocd? what if im making this up? I really need help.
1 January 2018 - 23:45 Is it POCD? HELP!!!

Hello,I am new to this forum, so I am quite nervous about writing here for the first time. I am a 19-year-old gay male, and I have had intrusive thoughts from different themes throughout my life. It first started when I was 8-9 years old, and since then I have developed intrusive thoughts about religion, harm, illness, and safety, and most recently, the fear of being a p (just putting the word makes me anxious).

OCD and actual arousal
Im sorry that you are going theough this. These "groinal responses" are product of anxiety and not sexual desire, it is fear that makes them appear, if you were a deviant you would enjoy them and seek them out.

Am I a pedophile? (Very long, detailed)
Hey
These are common manifestations of Pedophilia-themed OCD, you get intrusive thoughts/groinal responses because your mind is so busy trying to suppress the thought that it comes up, its like if I tell you not to think about a pink elephant, what would you be thinking?

Checking to see if you feel anything. Does anyone else do this?
This is a common compulsion among people who have any kind of sexual obsession. Please stop checking since it only makes things worse.
