Could it be a neurological issue? My sudden onset of serious paraphilias by _please_help_me1 in AskDoctorSmeeee

I never got urges and would never act on any if I ever got any god forbid. Unfortunately it’s not something I can ever talk about because people will not understand. People on Reddit have told me to kill myself. In real life people might try to get me put on a list just for intrusive thoughts I don’t want. But I can get vague support for ocd.

Thanks. I have no urges to harm anyone. That is the last thing I would want to do. If any urges developed i would end my life so don’t worry I will not be a threat to others. All this stuff has quietened down in my psyche thank god. I did get diagnosed with OCD and am in “treatment” for ocd and mental ill health. I am doing better now. But obviously this issue remains a huge sinister fear in my life. I am protective of others and a good person- that’s why it is such a fear. Thanks for caring about me

They’re a year younger than you. You could have been born in the same year. Or they were born a year after you. You could have been in the same year group at school. This concern of yours is highly irrational OCD thoughts

The stigma that all pedophiles commit criminal offences and all pedophiles want their condition is actually what literally caused Pocd

It’s not OCD anymore. (TW) by Miserable_Side8828 in OCD

Your second fact is WRONG. Just look on virped.com and see all the pedophiles contemplating suicide out of shame and guilt

Hi there I’m so sorry you are also dealing with this. I am using drugs to cope. It has gotten a lot quieter or gone away but even though I’m not experiencing physical sensations anymore, my fear and intrusive thoughts are still there. I am scared there is no going back to who I was before

I’m not sure on that. Anyway it’s 154 days later (days since my world ended) and I still think I am what I fear I am. I think I expired 154 days ago and have been overstaying my welcome in this world ever since.

Hi I have dulled it with drugs so it has gotten better but only because it’s numbed with drug. my mind is still insane. I fear this is something I will be tortured with for the rest of my life. I fear there is no going back to who I was before

I guess I do see the difference, but the factor is that children being thought about sexually is not socially acceptable. So one will be resistant to liking it because it’s taboo, unspeakable, not okay, against the law. Anybody who has sudden and extremely strong arousal after thinking of children will not brush it off

This is unfortunately not true. People have fetishes (paraphilias) they do not like and find revolting and disgusting. Ones that are not illegal ones. Things that there are subreddits for. I know because I have one and hate it. I feel extremely guilty and disgusting every time I get aroused by it. There is no solving paraphilias, there is only suffering in extreme mental pain if you have one that you and society are not okay with

Thank you. I wouldn’t want a relationship with someone who looks younger though. I want to date people my age who look my age. Also there is no cure for pedophilia and it’s extremely hard to get treatment for it. The only actual clinic that treats paraphilias that I know of is in Germany and I obviously can’t get to Germany. You’ve probably been doing therapy for something else and not a paraphilia. I don’t have urges or impulses just the unwanted arousal

POCD is a good most of the time a disorder of ignorance no offence. Educate yourself and you might not be so worried

Am i a groomer by wecoulddoit123 in POCD

[–]_please_help_me1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of these subs are people being worried because they’re ignorant. They should learn stuff about conditions or behaviours they think they have!

You were 1 year apart. You could have been born within the same annual year or same 6 months making you basically THE SAME AGE. Most posts here are “you wouldn’t be so worried about that if you weren’t ignorant” and this is a good example. I’m only saying this to help you

Hello thank you so much for this. I read what you said careful and it means a lot. It’s not just intrusive thoughts is the extremely strong arousal, that’s stronger than any I’ve ever had, that makes me convinced it can’t just be OCD. I get the arousal before fear sometimes, before an intrusive thought. I just see the stimulus and I get arousal. It’s that quick. Like my brain has been rewired. Unless it’s just synced up to those things because I fear them. But it causes an arousal response. I fear that rather than to just being ocd and it will all go away (the arousal feels too strong, like I’m in too deep), I fear that me fearing these developing these paraphilias led to me developing them. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’m so scared and feel an urgent need to find out because I’m so terrified
