POCD and guilt
Hi all, I was wondering how other people with POCD deal with the guilt and shame that come with the POCD

Yes especially when it crosses with real event ocd

I had a really bad bout of POCD about 2 years ago and the guilt killed me for a while. The best way I dealt with it personally was just to see myself as someone with a severe anxiety disorder and not a p. It was hard at first since the OCD makes you doubt you have OCD but I told myself that over and over until it settled into my thought patterns. Eventually that's partially what helped the POCD go away as well. I still get the intrusive thoughts but I'm mostly able to ignore them as I just think "that's OCD" and they go away :)

Yes pocd was my first ever theme before I even knew I had ocd or what it even was. Took me a few years to get through it and over the guilt completely but it does happen. My therapist would always tell me you are not hurting anyone with those thoughts except for yourself and you have to forgive yourself.

POCD and guilt
I’ve had many ocd themes before, but none of them have given me as much guilt, anxiety, and shame as POCD has. All these groinal responses, thoughts, feelings, etc. makes me sick of myself and wish I wasn’t me. I feel like all of this is gonna stick with me for the rest of my life and I’m gonna remember all of these things for the rest of my life. I feel like I need to tell my future partner all about this and all about the groinal responses that I have had. I just want all of this to be over and I wish that this POCD never happened. I constantly wish that I could go back to my past OCD themes, they tortured me but compared to POCD I want them back. I wish everyday too that a new theme will come along and all these things will just go away. I feel like my ocd is different than everyone else’s, I feel so alone and I’ve been suicidal over these things and I just want them to all end

🤓 OCD & Guilt
For me with ocd… it’s honestly the guilt, because mine comes in question forms and an answer is provided and if it feels like yes ocd tells me i don’t deserve to live or have good things which keeps me ruminating until i can dispel the answer is no or idk. If i can overcome that guilt I could beat this. That niggling ocd guilt that says the question needs to be solved Has anyone else experienced them have overcame it?
