Struggling with intrusive thoughts about kids while working with them?
Can’t stop the thoughts
I work with young kids and I can’t stop thinking the most disgusting things about them. Obviously my job involves touching them and hugging them and having close contact with them via diaper changing, etc. I can’t go more than a couple minutes without an intrusive sexual thought or thinking that something I’ve done was sexual in nature. Does anybody else have POCD and work with kids or have young kids? What the hell do you do with the constant triggers? It feels like a battle in my head and for the first time in a long time in my mental health journey I’m having suicidal thoughts.
