I know it could feel like your life is ruined, but no it’s not, you’ll get over this my friend. It’s unbelievable in moment how it would be possible but it is. First of all, you haven’t slept, so your anxiety feels worse then and you don’t think clear. Are you talking to some therapist? Otherwise call some hotline, it really helps. And don’t feel ashamed! You’re not that horrible person you think you are ?⭐️

You are not a bad person, and youre never going to act on these thoughts. Sounds like you should try some ERP

I totally understand. I woke up this morning feeling anxious cause I had one to a dream. It’s so scary. You have to just really focus on understanding that this is the nature of the beast. It’s as common a symptom of OCD as any, I know how painful it is because it feels like it’s attacking the most joyous and personal part of yourself, your sexuality. I feel hijacked, or like this thing has been inside me this whole time. Also, people who don’t have OCD can experience this too. That’s also crucial to remember. Because the brain/body responds to ANYTHING sexual. Even the worst stuff

Every time I go to bed late and I’m falling asleep, I suddenly get an intrusive thought of a child’s face and my groinal area always responds to it. It’s such an uncomfortable experience. I am way too tired to try and freak out so I end up falling asleep. The next morning I’m always trying to figure out whether I had the groinal response first or after the thought. I start giving OCD power but it feels like If I let it go, then I’m in denial or whatever. I don’t want to ever do anything sexual with a child. I don’t even feel comfortable talking platonically with people who are 17, much less a child. My therapist says that I have a deep rooted fear that I’m this horrible person and that OCD loves to feed off of it. When you get a groinal response, it makes the thought that much more real. I never want these things to happen. I want to only be into adults. It’s so discomforting and stressful. Especially since I’m hyper checking how anxious I am, and if I find I didn’t really have much anxiety, then I’m like “well if I didn’t have anxiety, what does this mean?” And more questions occur til I end up in a rabbit hole

Does anyone else when they have the thoughts, they feel against it, but they still get arousal or tenglings sensations in the groinal area? Because this is what I experienced today and I feel like crap. This is going to be very triggering for a lot of you, but there are a lot of times that I notice things from kids. For example, there is a thirteen year old kid who looks very developed for her age, and I take notice of (and this already sounds creepy to me) her chest. Today with my thoughts, I imagined as if I were touching it, and although I usually "no no or "I don't want to do that", she is a kid, etc., I still get responses in my groinal area, and It felt very real. Even now, I feel as though I am faking it, even though I groan 😮💨 from it, and feel as though I am a fraud. Does anyone relate?

I just can’t do this shit anymore.im tired of these “arousal” sensations that feel real but when I go check my arousal to the same gender I just get anxiety. I’m tired of feeling like I can’t like girls anymore. I’m tired of my arousal getting blocked every now and then because I’m anxious. I’m tired of not knowing who I am anymore. I’m tired of having my mind putting me into an identity I never asked for. I’m tired of this life
