I hope it gets better for you, I don’t have a ton of advice cause I’m still struggling myself, just wanted to let u know ur not alone
You have the same kind that the image popps in your head without warning and then as if you would not know whether it was real or unreal? In a way I know it is ocd,but the "what if" scenario starts to roll and feeds it even more. Thank you so much for replying <3
I understand, I feel sadness also after having inappropriate sexual or harm ocd thoughts. Maybe it all stems from repressed sadness... It’s just feels mean.
thank you for your words<3
You are not alone in this. I have been struggling with this SO much. I have irrational thoughts about harming children too, and I know that I don’t want to do anything like that at all, but I’ll worry and worry and obsess over things and wonder if I actually did harm a child. I worry about it when I babysit my little cousin. I know that I never actually want to do anything bad to a kid but I cannot get the worry out of my head. It’s exhausting
rasa: a big thank you for replying <3 Do you get them in certain situations or randomly? Im seeing a therapist but not ocd- specialist. Books, info has helped a lot to understand the way ocd works but have not found many that would have described their symptoms to be this kind. so thank you very much for replying!
I’m going through something similar but I wish mine were just thoughts they also come with feelings.. so I’ve always been a sexual person since a child I used to hump things etc which is natural. I’m getting these images now of me like humping children and it’s nothing ever more extreme cause I can’t deal with those images but it makes me feel like I want to do it cause of the sexual feelings even though I’m reality I would never hurt or use a child like that. I’m trying erp but these feelings are still so hard to handle
I understand. Very demanding things to go through! Have you listened to Chrissie Hodges in Ocd podcast about so called "groinal effect"? If not, I truly recommend it,it could give you understanding of what you are experiencing . thank you for replying <3
No I haven’t but I will! Thank you and thank you for letting me share
thank you! Go and listen to it, you are not alone in this one either<3
checked it, and it was called "groinal response"
Thank you!
I'm 16 and have an obsession revolving around harming children because it scares and confuses me why people do it so I started questioning myself and Im feeling like the biggest monster ever, I always used to love kids but since a year ago its hard to go out in public and get a job like other kids in school and I just want to be guilt free but there's no proof the feelings are true or not, my doctor suggested erp which did help a lot but other ways of coping especially for in the moment high anxiety would be helpful please thank you all sorry I just needed to talk, I feel like I should punish myself for these awful thoughts thank you I hope you all find good doctors
I have the most lovely 3 month old daughter....and I have chronic OCD over harm/paedophile OCD and it just consumes me. Last night , I was rubbing her chest to help her sleep and my hand rubbed over a wee button under her sleep suit. As she's a girl and I was rubbin her chest my head thought , " that's like a mound as if a breast"..... I can't remember what I thought or did after this but I may have thought " that's nice" and kept rubbing. Not long after I remember the thoughts being too much and lifting my hand away. I'm absolutely mortified at the thought I didn't lift my hand away the second my head associated that wee mound with a breast and feel like the worst dad ever now. I'm so upset over this . The amount of effort I put into not doing anything inappropriate then I let this happen. Hoping for some support! Thanks
I always get images of things that I severely don’t want to have. It gets better as the day goes on but I feel that whenever I make mistakes or there’s an accident (for instance my fingers accidentally grazed a students “area” when I was trying to get my pen) make me feel insanely guilty and that I want to hurt myself to compensate. For that instance I told my boss right away and she didn’t make it a big deal because it was such a swift and accidental occurrence, but that moment kept/keeps replaying in my head and I feel like a monster. Also, when I let a student use my phone to look at a picture for reference (art project) there was a search I made about birth control and how to know when to take a pregnancy test. I didn’t think much of it because I have absolutely nothing bad in my phone, but now I feel like I might be some groomer or monster. I definitely should go back to therapy but I just want to see if anybody had similar experiences/fears.
