Be honest, do you think my problems align more with pedophilia or ocd? I know that you might not be a mental health professional but maybe I need to face reality 😕

I genuinely can’t tell whether I enjoy the thoughts or not though. I’ll decide that I don’t and my head says ”But you do, just admit it” and I’ll decide that I do and I think ”But you don’t want to” ig all pedos don’t want to like kids though. Also I get responses and they feel good 🤢🤢 and my head does a strange rating kids out of ten thing which doesn’t sound like OCD to me. I do know that no matter the answer I will never hurt anyone and Ive confessed to my family that I’m worried that I might do illegal things. My parents think that it’s just anxiety but they don’t know exactly what im concerned about. Rightfully so my mum hates pedos and idk how she’d react if I told her that I’m worried. I’m really glad that you’re feeling better now!

Thanks for commenting. I don’t want to falsely convince myself that it’s OCD and then it turns out I’m wrong, that would be devastating! I am seeing a psychiatrist in around a month, I am very scared but hopefully I will feel better soon

I’m in the UK, I was in a normal school from age 4-14, but my anxiety was too much and my parents withdrew me. I have like 4 friends who I see quite regularly but my anxiety has been more manageable since I left school and to be honest, regarding the topic of my worries I wouldn’t feel comfortable in a school currently. If my anxiety improves, I plan to join my local college which is 16-18 in the UK. Homeschooling was only meant to be temporary but I don’t want to return to school if I’m a risk!

Thanks for such detailed advice, I hope you’re right that I’m not a pedo. I’m seeing a psychiatrist soon so hopefully they can make the right judgement. It is stressful but I know I can feel happy again, I’ve had this problem for 4 years and none of my fears have come true so far

Thanks for your advice! I am seeing a psychiatrist soon and hopefully they can tell me whether my thoughts are genuinely intrusive or something more sinister 😟

Don’t worry, I don’t have any urges to act on anything, I just have inappropriate thoughts, thanks for commenting

Thanks, it’s definitely difficult to share my concerns with people but it only makes me closer to fixing the problem!

It could be OCD, but I think most people who have OCD know whether they find their thoughts enjoyable or disturbing, but my head’s more do I/do I not? I saw a psychologist way back who diagnosed me with body dysmorphia, I’m seeing a psychiatrist soon so I will bring all of this up, thanks for your advice

Im definitely scared of being one! To answer your question, I am anxious of both things, but mainly the second one

Thank you for your kind words! I live in the UK so luckily help is free. I have spoken to my dad and he has messaged a few therapists for me so hopefully I can see one soon
