I knew this would be an answer but to be honest it just fills me with more anxiety because I can’t tell if it feels good or not or if it feels good but then I just dwell on it not wanting to feel good :/

@Anonymous That makes sense, I used to get anxious cos I was so nervous about my body image and things like that but not specifically because it was a boy I don’t think, I also went to an all girls school growing up which made boys this intimidating thing:/ It’s so hard to tell cos it’s usually when I’m drunk that I analyse and think maybe I could fancy a woman but then when I’m sober I freak out and start over thinking it all It’s not helped by the fact I live with my boyfriend who I love to pieces and just can’t bear the thought of having to leave him Thank you for responding and being understanding:) I really appreciate it

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing on here. I’ve definitely been in your shoes, and it certainly doesn’t feel good. Have you created some exposures around this obsession? As distressing as it is in the beginning, it will be very helpful to decrease your anxiety in the long run. You could say statements like, “I may or may not be attracted to women.“ Or you could say, “I am uncertain about my sexuality.“ It will definitely bring on the stress in the beginning, but the more you do it, the more your brain will except the uncertainty and it won’t rule your mind anymore. I know that I’ll see you feel strong, but remember that you are stronger!

I’m overwhelmed, I can’t stand it.
I keep getting thoughts of this 6 year old kid n I don’t know what to do, they keep coming and they give me a sense of attraction, I don’t wanna be attracted to kids, it feels too real as well, I feel a need to check if I was attracted or not constantly, and it genuinely feels like attraction, please help me I don’t wanna be a pedo. Whenever I try to think abt something romantic or about someone my age I’m actually into, that kid keeps popping up.

ATTRACTION FEELS TOO REAL, CANT STAND IT
I was scrolling on insta and I saw a post of a kid, I felt a sense of attraction, idk if it was false or not. I hope it was, I got worried and the kid kept popping up in my head, I kept trying to stop it because I can’t stand not doing anything and feeling attracted, I don’t wanna be attracted to kids, im fucking tired of having to deal with all of this every day. I can’t tell if it is real or false attraction, all of this is so annoying, I can’t even listen to music properly without feelings of attraction showing up. I’m not able to tell if it’s false attraction or not anymore at all, it feels way to real to know, I keep hoping that it’s all false, and I hope that I have pocd not actual pedophilia because I was never disgnosed, I was also exposed to porn at a young age, and I’m worried it causes pedophilia. Please help me with these attraction feelings I can’t tell if they’re real or not anymore. I can’t even tell if I’m distressed, panicked, disgusted, or shamed. I don’t feel any of those feelings anymore, idk why, idk how to deal with this stuff anymore, I don’t even know if I have ocd or not, I’ve only ever gotten one short diagnoses that said I have ocd but I lied on 2 questions about feeling arousal which I do, idk why, and the other about liking the thoughts, which I said I didn’t, but in reality I don’t know if I do or not. Also only certain kids trigger the attraction feeling, it makes me worried I’m a pedo because it’s only certain kids that cause it, kind of like a “type” (edited)
