What is happening to me (Warning)

I fear I may have POCD, I am terrified of being a pedophile. my symptoms were initially strong surges of anxiety. I made the mistake of looking up what pedophilia is about and now I fear I am one. I have a bad masturbation problem and that didnt help, as now I feel a weird feeling down below and its distressing me. I'm only 20, this never happened to me before and now I only feel confusion and doubt, Ive cried like never before cause of this.

Your OCD caused your emotional breakdown. You seem to be in a lot of fear. Try to sit with the discomfort. You can’t feed the thoughts or questions in your head reassurance because that only feeds the OCD to grow stronger. It’s extremely triggering but answering your thoughts with “maybe, maybe not”. Try breathing exercises, trust me I’ve been in situations like this and your OCD is very intense right now.
