First time posting here. Was diagnosed with OCD 12 year ago when I was in college. Have gone through all forms: HOCD, POCD, ROCD, cleanliness...lots. I've been up, down, way up, and way down. Lately, I deal primarily with ROCD. I don't want to go on and on and bore anyone with my story, so I'll get to the point.
Today, I was at the pool. A young girl--probably between 12 and 14--was there in a bikini (full diclosure: she was wearing a type of bikini i've always liked seeing...but on adult women). She was on the other side of the pool and each time I would scan to that side, I would look at her. It started to bug me, but I told myself, "from a distance, a body is just a body." I was ok, but then I said, "and it's sexy." Messed me up. I asked myself, "how could you possibly say/think that's sexy?" So I tried to help myself by trying to rationalize. And this made it even worse because I thought, "a 14 year-old's body is tighter." Made it even worse. I started asking if that girl was sexier than the adult women there.
I'm miserable. Verge of tears. Looking for help. I appreciate you taking the time to read.
