OCD has come to kill me
It’s late, and normally I would be asleep, dying to close my eyes. I have not had a nap today either, so I am longing to close my eyes. Unfortunately two things are haunting me; OCD and Mister X.
I felt blessed that I had my OCD under control for a good while. I had time to focus on myself and do things without OCD biting at me, but once again OCD finds it way. POCD has blown up. Pedophile OCD, a theme where a person fears they are a pedophile. This fear comes from my childhood after experiencing something traumatic. We all have different reasons for our fears.
Today it is back to the POCD thoughts. I start thinking back to things I worried about before. How during sex a thought popped up of a kid and I felt after abit more excited. How do I know if I got more excited because of the kid thought or because I was in the middle of sex? Just like the time I was masturbating and was bored on my fantasy so I thought I should think of something taboo, again a child popped up. And I felt abit more excited. How do I know it was because of the child thought or because of the theme/word taboo or the sex in general?
I feel I can never get answers. Many will say that if you do not like kids in real life you will not like them in your thoughts. NOT TRUE. Many people are not attracted to kids in real life but have child fantasizes, which also categorises them as a pedophile. This is why I worry so much about not finding an answer to my problems. I try to find an answer so I can tell myself I am not a pedo. But I can never find a solution. I tried telling myself that I didn’t like it when the thoughts popped up, but then again many people get turned on by things they do not like thinking about…
I am using hours trying tofind an answer that makes me not a pedophile.
When reading this, do not judge me. I am diagnosed with OCD and I am not attracted to kids in real life what so ever. We all have different fears and I have intrusive thoughts about kids because my worst fear is liking them and being a pedophile.
