What you’re looking for right now is reassurance, and it will just make your anxiety worse if you feed into it. I know how hard it is to break the reassurance addiction, I’m struggling with it right now myself

@Lina lost I totally understand, but the fear and anxiety will pass without reassurance and you will be ok, it’ll just take a little longer. If you fight the thought of it, the thought will get stronger and just be harder to fight off next time, so don’t fight the thought!

Hello Don’t follow the thought - my Husband is 2 years younger than me !!! I am Not reassuring you I am just letting you know the facts. Ocd will lie and bully you. The one thing that is reassurance is that OCD is a Nasty lying bully. How nice for you to have seen this boy on Instagram, Don’t Let the OCD monster lie to you!! I should imagine if you are anything like my daughter who too is Bullied By the monster, you too are a caring sensitive loving person that ocd is bullying !!! -‘just say so what and re focus, I know easier said than done but the bully will get tired of you let the though in - say so what and refocus and do something you enjoy.

Also not trying to give reassurance but the fact is you feeling attracted to someone 5 months younger than you is not what is classified as pedophilia. You are both in the same age range. If you were 30, per se, and this person was 15, then that falls into that category, but only 5 months is not a pedophile, especially if you are in the same age range. It is your OCD making you anxious most likely, you will be okay

I’m overwhelmed, I can’t stand it.
I keep getting thoughts of this 6 year old kid n I don’t know what to do, they keep coming and they give me a sense of attraction, I don’t wanna be attracted to kids, it feels too real as well, I feel a need to check if I was attracted or not constantly, and it genuinely feels like attraction, please help me I don’t wanna be a pedo. Whenever I try to think abt something romantic or about someone my age I’m actually into, that kid keeps popping up.

Pocd?
Since I don't experience attraction towards children so I'm not a p*do. But I've seen some not really child looking character. Thought he's attractive. And scared if he's minor so googled his age. Says 11. But I didn't stopped and kept thought "no but he doesn't look 11", "he's attractive" I'm so scared. Some people says don't live in past but my another past mistakes are just.. disgusting. So lets say if one is caused because I was groomed, another one is caused because I was lacking of social skills. But I don't know if I'm still attracted to 14~16 year olds... I'm scared if I do. I think I'm an ap*ebophile and is also having pocd Lets say the thought "he doesn't look 11" is the reason why I'm not. But it's disgusting. Doesn't look 11 doesn't mean it's exceptional..

Does this make me a pr#d?
Not long ago when I was 14 almost 15, I felt attracted to this 12 year old. I even m@struvated to her… people said a 15 feeling attraction to a 12 is predatorial. Now I’m wondering if she was younger than that. Please help me. I don’t wanna be a p@do.
