HOCD triggered slight POCD?

Postby anongirl » Tue Apr 01, 2014 10:41 pm

I was reading a post on HOCD because I have a case of it, and POCD was mentioned.
(I'm 15, by the way, my HOCD is getting better but now i'm distracted with this and it's really strange.)
See, I've obviously never been aroused by a child, and I STILL don't. Even as I test myself, still dont. Even if I think about getting aroused or don't think of getting aroused, nothing. But my OCD is slightly making me think I like little girls (and little boys) WHICH I DON'T. These thoughts literally just occured yesterday. What's quick way I can eradicate it quickly? Without having to go to a therapist?
I never think of kids in a sexual way. Honestly, I don't even really like kids too much! (no offence).
I feel like I don;t even have HOCD or paedophilia, I'm just overacting to this becaue of my HOCD and that post led to a trigger I guess? I've been thinking about kids lately, but not in a sexual way, in like a brother sister or caregiver way. it's like I want to like kids and enjoy being around them without thinking theyre the most annoying things ever.
Little help? Just a quick way to get rid of it fast! any help would be great! :) or a little reassurance, haha

Thought i'd add that I don;t want to hurt a child or do anything sexual with them. that's weird. I just don't know why i;m suddenly hooked on the idea with working with kids? Because kids annoy the hell out of me. POCD? quick ways to get rid of it? Mind you I'm also an HOCD sufferer.

I think what you might be dealing with is a bit of a sexual identity confusion. Homosexuality and pedophilia don't require thoughts to be triggered in order to cause curiosity, they are long developing thoughts beginning before puberty.

I think what you probably should try to do is stop testing the waters to find out what you do and don't like sexually, and just allow yourself to feel what comes naturally.

For example, I'm into S&M, but it didn't happen because I started reading about S&M when I was a teenager and thought about whether or not I'd like it. I've been into the thought of being given spankings, paddling, getting tied up and whipped, etc. since I was around four years old. If by the age of 15 you haven't even remotely thought whether or not you were gay or a pedophile until now, than you aren't.
