completely agree i think there are lots of websites that explain it well i’ve finally reached the point where i understand that i don’t actually have control over random thoughts that pop into my mind it took forever to get there but i also realized that the reason pocd was the worst for me of all pure o forms is because of how strongly my moral code is against it if you were to put them in order from worst to least worst as far as what my morality considers bad 1 murder 2 pedophilia so those are of course the random thoughts that i would obsess about most because of how morally abhorrent i find those that’s what made me realize that i’m not a terrible person and that those random thoughts attack me because i see them as wrong and my brain goes on red alert when that happens you obsess about it
