Yeah I think at some point even the most disturbing thoughts starts to feel like the norm and that’s really scary cause you start doubting yourself but I think trough doing ERP eventually life will get better and you’ll start to feel more like yourself again even though it’s super hard but when the bad days starts being everyday you have to do the hard thing to fight for the better days.

Are you worried that you are going to start liking the thoughts or just be okay with them?

Even if you realize you're straightforwardly into kids, the fact that you're trying to get help for it means that you're less likely to actually harm any child. The majority of pedophiles are not child sex abusers (https://doi.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Fabn0000213), and the majority of child sex abusers are not pedophiles (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0924933814777314) — they just choose a child as an "easy" victim.

pocd?
I'm 21 and eventually I would like to have a child. I am terrified about the fact that I could have sexual thoughts about them... So now I am filled with intrusive thoughts. How should I respond to these? "So yes, what if I will have intrusive thoughts about that?" But im terrified because a normal person shouldnt think about even that at all. I am so scared. I cannot respond "what if" because this is too serious and it makes me so bad if i respond "what if"

ocd or phycosis?
idk why this is such a recurrent thing for me , I get so scared through the day when I’m not distracted when I think about psychosis. or being put in a mental hospital that it gives me bad anxiety, one time I had a panic attack at the thought of having it 💔 I can’t pin point if it’s intrusive thoughts because it’s a fear of mine .. or not. I think this is the worst thought / fear I have
