#zocd

[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.

pocd culture is someone thats sent you a nsfw thing before casually mentioning theyre younger than you months later and now youve been spiralling for a month thinking you groomed someone despite literally never sending them anything back or even wanting it. And now have intrusive thoughts of sending this person even filthier things and can't tell if you actually did it or if it's ocd kicking your ass.

i understand this anon. i kinda ?? experienced a similar thing ?? not nsfw but a person made it out to be that i was weird for it, and that hurt so badly.

you’re not alone <3

I’m having a particularly bad episode of OCD today and wanted to remind everyone as well as myself.

Your intrusive thoughts and urges do not reflect who you are as a person.

Your intrusive thoughts and urges do not make you sick or evil.

Your intrusive thoughts and urges do not mean you are a despicable human being.

They do not mean any of the above, or any of the other lies your brain might conjure. (You’re twisted. You’re perverted. You deserve death. You deserve to never be happy. To always be alone. To always feel guilty. And the list goes on).

What your intrusive thoughts and urges do mean is that you’re struggling, and it’s hard, and sometimes you want to give up and disappear forever.

But your intrusive thoughts and urges do not define you. They do not have control over you, they do not have charge of your brain. They are not going to drag you under for the rest of your life, even if it feels like that right now. You will overcome this, and you will pound those stupid thoughts into the earth, no matter how long it takes.

You are not your intrusive thoughts.

Your intrusive thoughts are not you.

How it feels when I'm stuck ruminating

[mr-bl00sky]

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.

gentle reminder that you dont need to be 'cured'

curing a paraphilic disorder is difficult. for some people its just not attainable. its okay if you only cope with and manage your symptoms. youre not a danger for not being cured

your progress is progress

im so proud of you all for trying to rid and manage your paraphilias

The thing that a lotta people don’t understand is OCD can turn harmless innocuous things into “secret signs” so easily.

I like the kidcore aesthetic. I fixate a lot on childish things like toys and kids shows. I age regress. I spent so many months dreaming I could be a kid again. And I have had to FIGHT my brain on the fact that “no none of these traits mean I have secret desires Of That Nature, I am just a really childish person”

It doesn’t matter what you do, OCD will find a way. It managed to make me suffer from ZOCD because of i had a crush on fucking goofy. The Disney character. WHEN I WAS THREE YEARS OLD.

Even shit like Nyan Cat has activated my morality ocd.

This is why I think it’s so important to be empathetic to people with OCD. It’s not logical. It never is. And we know that. But it still fucking hurts

OCD Culture is...

[pt: OCD Culture is... ] Welcome! this is a [blank]-culture-is blog for OCD, AKA Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. There's one mod, and my name is Milo! I'm the host of a mixed-origins system, and use she/he/they prns. Although anti-endos are free to interact as long as they don't bring in syscourse. Anyway, with intros out of the way, lets get in to it. Rules for submitting: - All asks (aside from questions about the blog n the like) must start with "OCD culture is" or you can include another disorder if its relevant, ex. "ASPD + OCD culture is" - Nothing too NSFW, although if its vague/not in detail its fine. - We won't tolerate bigotry, talking about intrusive thoughts/compulsions/etc. are fine, but hating any minority isn't allowed. Along with that, no demonizing other neroudivergencies. Just because you have OCD doesn't mean you can be mean toward psychotics or those with personality disorders. - No radqueers or transID, or talking about them in a positive light. I kindly ask for proshippers to DNI, i dont think its immoral, but just for my comfort DNI, please! uhh i think thats about it? ill probally add to this as time goes on, but for now thats it! feel free to send in a many asks as your heart desires lol

i wish more people understood being a paraphile / having a paraphilic disorder and/or having disorders like POCD/ZOCD/etc does Not inherently make someone a radqueer or some sort of pro contact freak

[alilloserboy]

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

[demonized-ocd-culture-is]

pocd culture is when you see someone say "kill all pedophiles" and get offended even though you're not a pedophile...

...Also isnt that just not a helpful thing to say at all because attraction isn't a choice...? wishing the worst on people who actually ACT on it makes more sense.

One of the most comforting thoughts is that if worst case scenario I do end up being a pedophile, it wouldnt be my choice therefore my attraction wouldn't be my fault. No matter what, I will never do anything to a child in any way. It's inherently abusive and I never want to abuse children.

But when i hear ppl say anyone who is attracted to children needs to die immediately even though it's not really a choice, i get afraid. Like if all my biggest fears turned out to be true, even if i never harmed anyone i would still be treated like i did and that is still a scary thought.

i think i get where this is coming from.

while not all pedophiles act on their thoughts, and it’s a paraphilia that many suffer from, we’ve come to see the word “pedophile” and immediately think “disgusting.” There are pedophiles who are anti contact and actively seeking help , which is amazing.

i think if more people actually taught themselves and learned more about paras, it would be more understandable? i think majority assume that all pedophiles act on their thoughts, you know?

i think i want to write an essay, looking for some input

CONTENT WARNING

intrusive thoughts, z-ocd

below the cut!

i often find myself face to face with my ocd and the obsessions over my fears of z-philia. i want to write an essay or lengthy blog post about my personal experiences with the intrusive thoughts that come along with my ocd and how it impacts my life and therianthropy, as well as including the input of others who share similar struggles. i want to use this as a way to hopefully reach people out there who suffer from these thoughts and to let them know that others share the struggle and that they are more than their intrusive thoughts. not only this, but i would like to look into less “severe”(? idk if that’s the right term) forms, such as more violent intrusive thoughts and a potential connection between that and predatory theriotypes

i would love it if anyone who shares this struggle with intrusive thoughts would share their story. my dms and asks are open and in my post, unless otherwise specified by the submitter, anything shared will be anonymous aside from my own accounts.

if no one wants to share, i am happy to write only about my own experiences, but i would greatly appreciate your input.

note that this is not the place nor time for paraphile discussion. now is not the time for me to discuss my opinions on it.

for anyone who wants to share their experiences, please let me know your identities, including gender identities and species along with your experiences with intrusive thoughts or ocd 🤍

i don't know if this is just me but every time I draw my oc's, my brain sends me thoughts like "hey, they look like your niblings", "hey, they look like kids", and it's very annoying because I didn't create them with that intention, and their characteristics don't look anything like my nephews. my style of drawing faces was always very "adorable", but not to make them look like children. also, my oc's are 19 years old, and now i'm having a lot of doubt, i'm so scared, i feel so bad because i feel like i'm a creep :(
