Hey I know what you’re going through. Just ignore the thoughts and understand that you are not alone. You have to accept the uncertainty because you can never be certain about anything in this world. After a while of just letting the thoughts come and go, they will be less intense. Also, remember that the theme does not matter. You are not fighting whether or not you’re a pedophile, you’re fighting the OCD. Don’t give in to compulsions and ignore the thoughts, you’ll be okay.

I don’t want to give reassurance because that will not help you in your journey! This is your OCD making you think that you NEED to know if you’re a pedophile or not and if your thoughts are normal. I will say that everyone gets intrusive thoughts (even those without ocd) but we latch onto them because they scare us. Tell the thoughts, questions, and worries ‘Who knows? Who cares? I will accept the uncertainty!”

I’m getting pretty good at ignoring the smaller ones, but things that are disgusting to an extreme are really hard

I usually just say in my head I’m not attracted to them, I just think they’re cute, but I was hanging out with my friends and there was a boy who was maybe in the eighth grade (we’re in 10) and they started saying he looked like a French boy and I spat out “yeah he’s cute (not in the crush sort of was)” to reassure myself and then my friends laughed and said “ha you’re a pedo” and I got really guilty

There’s nothing abnormal about thinking a kid is cute, just like we think dogs are cute. Them making that joke is extremely disrespectful. Even if you didn’t have this theme, they shouldn’t say things like that. Please don’t let them get to you, keep fighting and do ERP.

Is it normal to think someone two years younger than you is cute?

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.

Pocd feels real again and I can’t tell if I’m actually attracted or not. can’t believe it got this bad again. I used to be able to go “no I don’t like that, go away” and now it feels like I do like it and want it, and it’s starting to linger longer so it feels more real. I’m avoiding checking but I’m so scared that what if it’s true. Is it because I have not been doing my exposures? I’m not sure, but every time a 14 year old person comes to my head, I keep hearing something go “they’re attractive” and it sounds like me so I panic, and it makes me even more scared because I’m not feeling bad about it??? I saw some kid at Walmart that had long black hair and my brain kept saying shit and no matter how much I say I don’t feel that way, it won’t shut up, i want to check 1000 times to make sure. But I know it’s not worth it. I’m trying so hard
