Try to avoid such thoughts just focus on your fiance
The best thing to do is not avoid. You should sit with these thoughts, and don’t do any compulsions like reassurance seeking, distraction, etc. You will feel high anxiety at first for a while, but the longer you sit with the thoughts and accept them as being ocd the better they get and the less importance your brain puts on them, this in the long term will reduce your anxiety. This is part of ERP.
Thank you. I have talked to my doctor and I will be seeking therapy soon. Then I will tell my fiance. How do I stop groinal sensation. I'm aroused when it happens. Most of the time I'm even thinking of anything and it happens. My thoughts are beginning to become so real to the point that I fear that I may be attracted to teenage boys 12-15 but its weired because I'm not aroused when. I'm near him and he's 11.
I'm not aroused. Or thinking of anything really when it happens *
Im sorry for a long post but I'm very scared Prior to few weeks ago I didn't have any sexual thoughts regarding children EVER, and if I did then I really can't remember. But ever since I started worrying about the possibility that I might be attracted to them, I just felt severely awful. And it's getting worse and worse overtime. What started as just me worrying that I might be attracted to kids has now turned into a deep belief that there is a very dark and real part of me that is, in fact, a pedophile. I even started having intrusive but pleasurable fantasies about children and it's driving me absolutely sick. I really wish that it's just a very extreme form of POCD and not actually me turning into a monster, but with each passing day my hope is fading away, replaced with pure disgust in myself and unwillingness to live like this. Has anyone here ever went through something similar?
I recently told my fiance what has been going on with me since it just started to occur and I couldn't stop myself from crying and hiding it. I currently have been having intrusive thoughts like POCD becuase of something I watched on TV. And now I am having regrets on telling him becuase I am scared he might tell someone and my life will change I never wanted these thoughts in the first place I don't want to be seen as a pedo for something I didn't do or can control yet mentally....I'm scared he might use it against me now it's making it worse and idk what to do I love him so much but I keep thinking he will tell his family since they are so close....he told me he wouldn't but it just keeps bothering me I love his family I don't want them to think differently of me....what do I do?
Last night I was intimate with my partner, and I love my partner very much, but during the intimate time I had a thought pop up about his little brother. No I feel disgusted and I love his brother like my own. I known him since he was five I just can’t do this anymore.
