i have had very bad pedophile ocd for about three months now and it's starting to make me suicidal. yesterday, i was severely triggered when a young child in the waiting room i was sitting in made a very sexual noise and i found myself feeling something that might have been arousal. this feeling only grew as i tried to suppress it, leaving me so distressed that i had to go to the restroom to cry and nearly missed my appointment.
it's been a day, and i can't stop thinking about this incident. i've been engaged in checking compulsions that have made me unable to fulfill other obligations or take basic care of myself. i really, really need someone to tell me whether this makes me a pedophile or not.
background info: i'm 18, i've been in therapy for ocd for several years now, and i'm taking a number of medications to control my various mental illnesses.

If you're in therapy for OCD, you know reassurance is ultimately bullcrap- without just letting that worry go..... having said that, if it walks like a duck, acts like a duck... you have a history of OCD, so what do you think? I'm going with OCD until you actually do something bad. I have harm OCD- I'll worry about it when I do something bad. You know you need to do the same, mijo.
