I don't feel suicidal at the moment, and I have spoke to my dr about feeling suicidal before, but these thoughts have often made me want to kill myself because it all gets too much

I’m sorry:( Ik ocd isn’t logical but becoming suicidal over thinking that someone might think you’re a pedo means you’re def not one. Maybe it’d be helpful to give your ocd a face and picture it standing next to you when ur around a kid as a way to visualize the fact that ocd (which is separate/external from you) is the shifty one. So the kid sees you, MissLOVELY, and then some weirdo who isn’t you.

Re reading this I doubt any child would lie and say someone touched them inappropriately when they hadn't, but what if cause I look so weird they say I don't remember cause they might think I could have in the past cause I look so scared around them, cause I met a pedo once when I was little and now I'm grown up I look back and literally don't know if anything happened when people ask me I say I don't remember

Suicide is not the answer. OCD is really hard and you are amazing. You are not a pedo and they might just think kids make you uncomfortable!! That’s true for plenty of people no matter their thoughts surrounding kids. It’s the OCD, it’s not truly who you are and I think you know that

I know I'm not a pedo. I get intrusive thoughts yes, but I'd never act on them that would make me feel violently ill. I know I'm not, I just can't deal with thinking everyone thinks I am. I just never want to be around the youngsters in my family. They always want to be around me tho. But they do pick up on my anxiety and I think they realise it's them making me anxious sometimes cause I always try to sit on a different sofa and they notice. I wouldn't even let them sit on my lap I told them my leg was getting numb but I was scared I was ganna get a groinal response and they'd feel it even though I'm a woman. It's all horrible I hate my head it's hell

So I was on a hat chat gpt and it said that people who are non-offenders experience distress and anxiety and disgust and depression and they feel ashamed of being a non-offender like WHAT like that's honestly terrifying and I'm so scared because that's how I've been feeling like when I'm out I get anxiety too especially when I see a younger person I always been attracted to MEN my whole life can people turn into monsters and I don't even care if they have problems if there attracted to kids then there sick in the head like don't care like this has been sharing me soo much and the worst part about it is that they said some are in denial or suppress their attractions I'm so done...... I can not do this this is too much I would rather be gone from this earth than find out that I might be one like you have to be kidding me if you're attracted to young people and desire that you're sick and dead to me you're a monster I don't care like its disgusting. for this eole some people are suffering from POCD like me are scared to think about that and I'm terrified.

Trying not to seek reassurance, but rather connect the dots on my OCD and possible reasons as to why I am the way I am. I have severe OCD (or at least I hope I do) mainly surrounding POCD. I've had symptoms of OCD the majority of my life but this theme has come up more recently. When I was a kid, and i'm talking 6-7, I was first exposed to some really gross adult content online. It was introduced to me by a friend of mine around the same age of me. I saw some really disgusting things that a 6-7 year old should definitely not see. This was not a one time occurrence, as I had been exposed to taboo topics online years to come after that, such as the same friend introducing me to Omegle... And i'm sure you can imagine how that went, theres a lot of genuinely disgusting human beings on there. Coming back to the reason for making this post; is it possible to early exposure to this content could be one of the reasons I struggle with POCD? It genuinely scares me to death because you hear that real p*dos dealt with simular situations when they were kids, so thats kind of making me feel that this could be more than OCD, and I could be a genuinely bad person. My POCD feels so real, that at times i'm fully convinced its not OCD. Sometimes I can't even distinguish the feelings of attraction between a younger person and an older person, except for the feeling of anxiety and fear. Its really hard to explain without going into detail, but it just feels so real. Some feedback on this would be great, thank you all.

Sometimes I think " do I like kids?" "Would i get aroused if I saw content with kids?""What if I'm a pedo and cant accept it?" "What if I'm ok with these thoughts?" "What if I'm not distressed enough " "What if I enjoy these thoughts?" , i avoid kids as much as i can, i cant look at them bc I'm scared I'm gonna have some groin like response. I keep testing if I'd get turned on or if I'd have some groinal response to sexual scenarios with kids. Sometimes I think that if I took my life this would be over and i wouldn't have to think about this and i wish i doubted something else instead of things like this. I had similar situations just with different topics such as if i loved or found sexually appealing a guy while in a relationship and i kept asking myself those questions for months and i avoided going to school for weeks and when I went I'd cry and have anxiety attacks. I had it with past actions i obessed over and felt the need to exploit every detail and be honest because otherwise i was being a fraud. I had it for sexual things that happened when i was a child. Im not diagnosed with ocd but should i tell this to my local counselor? Can someone help? Give me advice or tell me anything?
