#pocd awareness

[demonized-ocd-culture-is]

Undiagnosed ocd culture is believing your faking because your looking for an excuse for the constant unwanted pedophilic thoughts (that have made want to kill myself for over 4 years). And that your just a creep.

I have no access to healthcare, and haven't for over a decade :)

you’re not faking for experiencing this anon ^^ i experience it too (if i’m understanding this correctly) ^^

[werethropy]

"mental health" advocates when they see someone with Z-OCD or P-OCD (suddenly they don't care about mental health anymore and just want to jump to conclusions to hurt the people they swore to help)

This also goes for psychotic people who have "scary"/"disturbing" reactions to certain things (screaming, rocking back and forth while holding their head, mumbling about seemingly "crazy" or "inane" things, defecating themselves, scratching their skin, lashing out, wetting themselves, etc.)

Everyone wants to be on the right side of history until they realize mental health advocacy includes everyone and not just the 'prettier' disorders that they oh-so-love to cherrypick and romanticize.

Everyone loves the idea of disorders being less stigmatized than they are today, but will, in the same vein, clutch their pearls when they hear a person with POCD sob about how they feel like a disgusting human being about having uncontrollable, EGO-DYSTONIC, INTRUSIVE thoughts/images about children. They will call a morally incorrect person psychotic, they will say things very reminiscent of "I'm scared that the EVIL PSYCHOTICS are able to roam freely 😰😰😰😰" with a helluva lot of padding, they will make "schizo" jokes whose whole purpose was to trigger psychotic people because it's funny.

It's disgusting how your beliefs stop at the people who's disorders don't fit into your perfect little box of what's acceptable for a fucking illness or not, as if they have any damn control over it.

[demonized-ocd-culture-is]

this is a prime example of how misunderstood POCD is. It’s fucking disgusting that people will see the word “pedophile” and refuse to learn anything else about it.

i am NOT a pedophile. pwPOCD are NOT pedophiles. thank you to my friend who fully supports me and posted this response i drafted up.

should make your following list private so people don't see you follow a pocd account so you don't get attacked. unless you're into that. then by all means, go ahead

dear anon,

begging you to actually do research before you ASSUME what POCD is just because of what the acronym stands for.

pwPOCD are NOT pedophiles, and you would know that if you even tried to learn what it is. It’s having extreme, repeating, and TRAUMATIZING intrusive thoughts about the fear of being a pedophile. Stop being an ableist douche and do your research.

sincerely,

the owner of said blog. @pocd-culture

To everyone out there struggling with ocd, whether it be pure-o, relationship ocd, iocd, pocd, zocd, harm ocd sexually taboo ocd, otherwise taboo ocd, ocd surrounding numbers, checking ocd, or any other form of ocd I forgot to mention, I LOVE YOU. Please don’t forget that. You aren’t alone in your struggles. Everything is going to be okay, nothing is going to end in catastrophe. You are going to be okay. I love you all so much, you’re all so strong just for being here.

[ocdosage-of-hope]

A message to anyone suffering from POCD:

- You are not a monster

- You are not evil

- You deserve kind things

- You deserve sympathy and empathy

- I love you /p, and I hope you show yourself some love today.

[alilloserboy]

If you bully ppl bc of their POCD, ZOCD or other similar types of shit, you are evil and I will find you.

I hate having POCD bc why am I convinced that my old friend group thinks I'm into 10 year olds bc I was obsessed with a pokémon rival when we used to hang out (I just wanted to be him, it was gender envy, but my POCD is telling me i said weird things about him despite having absolutely zero proof and my rational mind knowing i didn't)

[ocd-discovery]

Welcome!

This blog is meant to be a safe space to talk about OCD and vent.

I will also make polls, positivity posts, questions, etc.

Vent rules: Please add trigger warnings if you are discussing topics that are sexual or violent in nature. This is in no way to shame you, just so people reading don't go through unwilling exposures.

I also ask for people to not provide reassurance as that is proven to worsen OCD symptoms. If reassurance is genuinely needed then it will be tagged as such.

I do not have anonymous on since there are lots of people who harass or otherwise harm those with OCD, if you want your vent to be private just let me know.

If you are at risk of genuinely harming yourself or others I encourage you to contact your local hotline.

[agentalysswolf]

im gunna take it one step further for my other OCD girlies and bois and add: yes: you CAN feel attraction (or what you are worried might be attraction) to ANYTHING and ANYONE. feelings arent facts and feelings and thoughts are yours and ANYTHING is allowed to be thought and felt. its your ACTIONS that matter. if you dont hurt kids or anyone else who cant consent then in terms of sexual or pocd, you are FINE. ACTIONS matter.

not to be radical or whatever, but i think that maybe calling women and queer people “pedophiles” for fanfiction is actually not the activism you think it is

[demonized-ocd-culture-is]

demonized ocd culture is realizing you get more scared at racist intrusive thoughts than pedophilic ones, and then your mind is like “okay you might be a pedophile” but you don’t feel anything.

if you are having pedophilic thoughts that aren’t causing you discomfort / fear then that’s a whole other issue .

[the-goya-jerker]

have you considered going to fucking therapy?

You know I'm a real person, right? Like I'm not just A Funny Blog. I'm a real freak with a real life. I go to the grocery store. I spent a lot of time outside with my dog today just enjoying the sunshine. I made myself a quesadilla for lunch. I'm looking forward to an upcoming show premiere.

My life doesn't actually revolve around sex or erotic art.

Also, you're aware that sexual proclivities are not something any therapist worth their salt would discourage? I've taken classes of sexual psychology. What I do is not sexual dysfunction and therefore requires no clinical treatment.

I'm only even bothering with you for the sake of my followers so I have an excuse to say this: it doesn't matter what you get off on.

Sexual dysfunction requires the harm of someone else or distress caused to yourself. People who get off on LiveLeak videos, people who get off on rubber duckie collections, people who enjoy get off on white women buying wonderbread do not need therapy for this.

No matter what you get off on, it truly doesn't matter unless there is harm done to someone. If you have sexual thoughts that distress you, I encourage you to seek help. Whether this is POCD, or a conflict between your religious values and your porn habit. A good therapist can offer you the support you need.

But, genuinely, this idea that I'd need therapy for rubbin' one out to Goya is ridiculous. It is a symptom of a sex negative society, and it's pointless.

I hope you can learn to get over your fixation on what others get off on, anon. Maybe consider therapy. <3

Slow Damage analysis!! PART 2. (TW FOR SENSITIVE TOPICS!!!)

    

      ��Asakura Kazuki - POCD.

      (Credits To Crowaes slow damage video on Youtube!!)

       

During my first playthrough of slow damage, I was put onto Taku's route first, and so therefore the next character I will be going over is Asakura Kazuki. Chapter 2, or Doctor, was an interesting one to say the least. I remember being worried about the way things were headed and was completely surprised by the end of it. I had never thought about it in this way until I had seen Crowaes's video on slow damage, where he mentions the possibility of Asakura having PCOD. As someone who has OCD, I found this take to be very interesting, and I wanted to build upon it. In chapter 2 of Slow damage, we are introduced to Asakura. He is a doctor, who has rather dark rumors surrounding him. While Towa takes an interest in him, Taku can only view Asakura in a negative light after there was rumors of him being a pedophile. During Fujieda's route, we find out that Asakura and Towa share some history. Due to the fact that while Asakura was still in medical school, he accompanied a professor for some drinks in an attempt to make connections. He ended up being led to Euphoria, where he was given a scalpel by the professor and was told to cut a young and blindfolded Towa. In his intoxicated state he complied, this exact moment explains the strange behavior he exhibits whenever children and angels are involved. Due to Asakura's demeanor around children, people even begin to suspect that he may like children too much. The suspicions reach a point that leads Asakura himself to be unsure whether he's fond of children in a normal way, or in a much more unhealthy way. Asakura is self-aware enough to admit that he has a desire that is related to children, but he's unsure of the exact nature of said desire. We come to find out that even the possibility of it being of sexual nature disturbs him greatly. While later in the chapter it is revealed that his desire is truly to find an angel who can give him "salvation". He still suffers with these intrusive thoughts regarding children. There is a quote from Asakura that really put things in perspective.  "Am I really attracted to children? Or am I just paranoid because other people think I am?" It could be believed that Asakura suffers from POCD. POCD, also known as pedophile obsessive-compulsive disorder, is having obsessions—or intrusive thoughts—that are focused on fears about being or becoming a pedophile. It causes the person to feel the urge to perform compulsions, or safety behaviors, to alleviate anxiety, prevent something bad from happening, seek certainty that they are not a pedophile. We see this happen quite often with Asakura in the duration of chapter 2. As someone with OCD and who suffers with intrusive thoughts, they can be so debilitating. It can make one question if they are a horrible person for thinking these horrific thoughts, despite the fact they are not voluntary. . Asakura makes it clear that these thoughts of his are not ones of pedophilic nature after his Euphoria episode with Towa. While I do not think that Asakura is the best representation of PCOD, he still is one that I recognize. We rarely see characters in media that have OCD, and I truly believe that this is the case with Asakura. While Asakura's chapter may not have been my favorite, I still think he is a very interesting character. 

[purrfectdollie]

I hate it when ppl r surprised I have

INTRUSIVE

Thoughts about p*dophilia and stuff like that. Apparently violent intrusive thoughts are fine but when it’s anything remotely s#xual people piss themselves over it 😐 it’s so fucking annoying

ok so p-ocd is pedophilia ocd , it's when you have intrusive UNWANTED thoughts , about being a pedophile , this does not make you a pedophile , having UNWANTED thoughts about pedophilia does not make you a pedophile

those thoughts are UNWANTED . you can not control them , and you don't want them .

[ocdosage-of-hope]

Most of my ocd recovery has been entirely out of spite. I’ve gotten bolder in being more open towards my POCD solely cuz my family said I should keep quiet about it. But being open about it has helped me recover so.
