Pocd
I'm new here. please dont judge me. I am not yet diagnose with pocd but I have all the symptoms and etc. My ocd started June 2020. someone posted on fb about pedophile for awareness. She posted about this person who is having arousal to his sister and wants to do sexual thing. While reading . i feel something in my private part and questioned myself. Why having reaction down there???am I aroused??? I am 100% sure that I'm not sexually attracted to a child. Since then I started feeling awkward around my son and groinal response also started. Why I'm having groinal response? I don't have this before. Cried a lot. Scared that I might be attracted to my son. I avoided hugging and kissing my son. Bathing him is hard cause I get groinal response.and then intrusive thoughts came in. Im afraid of being left alone with my son cause i might do something. I had searched online. That's where I learned that I have ocd. This is really hard and painful for me. I'm a mother and I have to take good care of my son. I feel so depressed. And guilty. Ashamed. Doubt myself they say pocd sufferer don't act on their thought. I had intrusive thought that I want to hug my son In a sexual way and doing sexual. I really hate the thought. Felt distressed but still I did my thought. I hugged him. I dont know why i did. I remember i told myself maybe i can do that because i didnt feel any sexual thing and maybe to ease the anxiety thats why i did. Then i hugged him. After hugging him. I said to myself I don't feel any sexual and also I didn't do anything sexual to him. What my intrusive thought told me it didn't happen. But my brain keep on telling me that I acted My thought because i still hugged him while having the thought And I feel guilty. I shouldn't have done that. Do you think I acted My thought? I keep on revisiting this thing.keep on searching. If I really did it or not. I don't want to be pedophile.😭
