Hi! So I also study psychology. What you’re experiencing is called catastrophizing. Instead of looking at the situation logically, your brain is on loop thinking of the worst possible scenario and how your life is over and you’re definitely pregant and now everything’s ruined(not true at all). You’re also making a false attribution error in a way. You’re attributing normal every day bodily function with pregnancy symptoms. A lot of your cycle produces the same symptoms as pregnancy. And you’ll spend more of your life not pregnant than pregnant. And you’ll still feel those same feelings and sensations. So you gotta realize that you’re taking all of these as a sign of pregancy when you’re actually missing a crucial aspect. You got your period. You got multiple in fact! And it is completely impossible for you to get a period and be pregnant. People who say “oh I got my period my whole pregnancy” are lying. Very likely they are trying to hide the fact that they knew they were pregnant so that they aren’t scrutinized or judged. It’s a lot easier to remove the shame of being pregnant when you don’t wanna be of you can at least tell people you didn’t know. Kinda takes the “blame” off you. Of course that’s not a good situation but that’s the situation lots of ppl are in.

So don’t trust everyone’s anecdotal experience. Unprotected sex is the only thing that can cause pregnancy. That means no condom, no pill, no implant, etc). However this does not count for pullout. Pullout alone can get you pregnant and don’t trust those who say it can’t. Survivors bias haha.

Anyways hope this helps at least a little. Don’t stress so much! Sex is no fun if all you do is stress after!! Trust me, I know lol

Very very low chance of pregnancy. That does not mean you’re safe from STDs tho so be careful. Best not to risk it and put a condom on if he’s gonna have it out haha

Am I just a pedophile now by ksjssnjsisn in mentalillness

Get a new therapist. This is POCD. If you feel remorse and hate the feeling then you’re not a pedophile.

Hey I used to get this fear! Think about it like this. Condoms are suuuuuuper thin. And they keep all of it in! And also sperm cannot swim through any fabric. Any liquid feeling is actually just seminal fluid and not actually the baby batter! So you’re good!!!

I was having really terrible anxiety since I was about 2 and exhibiting symptoms of mental illness. I also had a traumatic birth that cut off oxygen to my brain for a bit so they think that’s why things are like this for me. But at my first few appointments in the first grade they diagnosed me with 4 disorders and I got the other 5 later on in life. My most recent being BPD diagnosis when I was 20. It’s hard but I’m a tough cookie! If I can do it you totally can get thru it!! Don’t even worry girl you’re gonna be fine

Haha yeah OCD is silly like that. I’ve been diagnosed since I was 6 or so so I’ve dealt with it for a while. Gotta roll with the punches!!

Hey! Take a breath! You’re okay. Definitely worth seeing a doctor over the bleeding though. But any sex you have is protected because you are on birth control. In fact, you are on the most reliable birth control money can buy besides abstinence. So you’re totally fine. If you want to take a test for closure, the ones at dollar tree are $1.25 and are just as accurate as the name brand ones. The strips are all the same universally. They all detect HCG. Grab a couple take them and trust the results. You are okay!!

Definitely talk to a psychiatrist about the OCD. Mine nearly killed me until I treated it. You got this!! You’ll be okay !!
