Thank you. Everyday though I feel like im arguing with my brain and all my brain tells me is that I want to do it and now whenever I ask myself I don’t even know anymore. All my brain thinks about is the sexual side of it. I could never hurt a baby but this is so convincing. I know if I really wanted to I would’ve by now, but I can’t cope with this uncertainty

OCD will often target your root fear in the most depraved ways, because it's TRYING to get your get attention. If you ignore it usually but respond when it brings up images of assaulting children, naturally it's going to do it more. The thing to explore (with a therapist, ideally) is why this is such a big fear for you. If you did end up hurting a child, what would you believe about yourself? What are you afraid will happen? You probably engage in compulsions regarding that fear in lots of ways, but this is the only way your brain can get you to listen.

I’ve had thoughts like this before. How I beat it is that I think “Oh, that random thought again, with that weird reaction. You do you body, I’ll do me.” Think of it as a guy having an erection for no reason. It happens to all of them, and it can even happen with us women. The body doesn’t mean to, it’s just OCD sending false signals.

Hi, thank you for that. It’s just the thoughts that scare me the most. I guess cause I’m sexual and I’m insecure about myself in that way

Yeah I have this problem with hocd and it kills me cause I've always wanted to have a wife. And now I have a beautiful girlfriend the love of my life but I still battle these thoughts daily. I'm on that same boat where my brain is sending me these thoughts of me doing gay stuff and it kills me and I hate it. What sucks more is that at times it's very convincing but in the bottom of my heart I know I'm only straight no matter how much OCD tries to convince me otherwise.

I have a little sexican brain myself. I’ve used outlets for it before, with sex toys myself, but trust me, OCD is just confusing your body.

Thanks guys. I feel like this may have rooted from when I was a child and I sexually explored by humping my baby doll. I know that I would never hurt a baby in reality for my pleasure cause that’s wrong, but I just feel like my mind tricks me :(

We do crazy things as babies. I might have kissed my cousin when I was a tot, and my nephew has touched himself in front of the fam. Apparently it’s normal, which weirded me out.

It is very normal as children we are curious. But they thiughts are so hard it really feels like I want to do it when in reality I know I wouldn’t want to

I understand completely. I research stuff a lot and finding the right info helps.

I just wish I could be hypnotised so I don’t have these thoughts anymore. I feel like such a fucked up person

Same. Learning to let them flow is really hard, because OCD tortures you on the side

Yep and I feel guilty for dismissing the thoughts because I feel like they’re so bad and apart of me now

Agree with everything in this thread. Sooo much of this has happened to me. It’s the feeling of “do I want this?” That is the worst. For me, it comes in a quick flash, forcing me to ruminate even more

Though it might be a compulsion in itself sometimes.

As much as it is a compulsion me searching stuff like is it normal for a child to do this etc has reassured me so much

I know I'm not attracted to children, there's no proof I am and no indication that I am. Yet why do I still get these sexual intrusive thoughts? Why do I still feel so uncomfortable? Why do I feel disgusting, distressed and confused when I get them? Why do I get them in the first place yet I still don't feel anxious enough? I'm really confused about this. I'm not going to do anything to a child or think of a child that way yet at the same time It gets all over in my mind. Is it just me like uncovering some attraction to children that was buried and where would it even come from I've always been attracted to men that are older than me (not like grandpas or something but 1-6 years older) so why the hell am I even getting these thoughts now? I'm genuinely so confused and I don't want this to happen. It feels I'm betraying everyone especially myself

Yup! Been like this February,worst Part is that I was intoxicated and in a bad place my thoughts were going totally insane,my 8 year old niece spend the night with me and my intrusive thoughts were telling me to molested her and all of the above ☝🏻 I do remember staring at her for a while and thinking 💭 If I did something to her she would probably say it or she would wake up,it gave me a good sense of relieve but now and since then …I can’t fully remember if I did,just for the”hmm let’s test this out and see if she would actually wake up” kind of like those,,,I wonder if u pull a dogs tail he would turn around and bark or bite me,trust me…shit like that would backfire at you and I haven’t really been at peace since then…I try to also control My self and try to use uncertainty but to be honest the vision and memory are so real like very vivid as if it happens so for me it did happend and I feel Horrible,I currently in my mid 30’s and these thoughts lash out f nowhere since I was 26,somehow I knew how to manage them,I would Do Compulsions as avoiding my niece and any type Of kid,I would Get extremely paranoid when I had to change her diapers and could do something to harm her.i never been attracted to children in my life,yes! Unfortunately i was molested sexually as a kid by a man from ages 6-9 and one of the things that would Kill Me and trigger me would be the fact that I wonder why? Why do they do that why ? What do they feel ?! And for my disadvantage….im Like the kid that you tell Them”don’t push that red button or else…🚨🧨💣🤯” and guess what?! My Hyperactive dumb ass is still Gonna push the button cause I wanna know what the hell is gonna happend for my self,and I feel that I did something g that I will regret my whole Life! Sometimes when I’m calmer I think with logic and see things from another perspective but then ocd and paranoia kicks in and it’s exhausting and mentally draining!so Guess what?! It sucks! This sucks! to live like this and having to live with the …”what ifs,did I or Did I not!?” But u aren’t alone friend just know theirs plenty of us out there Worst part of all this i havent been able.to fill in the gaps and it makes me.feel like a monster,did i molested my niece in her sleep,what if.my intentions were actually bad,im the kind of person that a thought can be morbid and I have tp figure it out,so when I think to my that I do something it's because I was clearly thinking okay let me.tedt.my self or see if I do feel.something and that shit will backfire on you BAD! Because then I will think*what kind of a human being on earth wpuld.do something like that?!* and it triggers me bad,I mean really bad like anxiety and panick attacks and not wanting to live with my self with this guilt!idk if there's someone else out there with a case like this bit if their is please dont make me feel that im alone, not looking for reassurance just support

Is there something wrong with me if I’m not disgusted by my intrusive thoughts anymore like the disgust feeling has been gone for months now and why are my thoughts feel like they’re literally so close happening inside my brain why can I lowkey physically feel the images of that makes sense,Why do I get adrenaline why do I get a weird tingle my lips sometimes make an awkward like position when I get the thoughts it’s like I’m having a glitch idek which thought is intentional which one is intrusive but there bad thoughts and I don’t want them to be the truth about me but I literally cannot get myself to just feel relaxed even if they’re present like I actually get genuine headaches and feel uneasy for hours after having intrusive thoughts and I hate how it’s always the same kinda thoughts and sensations feelings etc around those thoughts out of nowhere when I’m just chilling they come in before when I had it is be like okay ew weird thought now I’m like what if I actually like this and I’m in denial uGHHH HATE MY BRAIN
