Does it relate to POCD?

Postby throwaway23566777 » Sun Aug 25, 2024 4:16 pm

Not too many days ago I visited psychiatrist and I shared some information about GAD, possible OCD/POCD, an she diagnosed me with GAD and OCD. There are some some things I forgot to say (honestly), and I'm in total fear. I don't seek reassurance, just need explanation.
Well, after the feel of relief I started thinking: "What if isn't really OCD and I'm a p word?"

The reasons of doubting are some thoughts and one episode of my life. Both of them provoke anxiety and different feelings. I'd like to begin with the thoughts.

When I see a child on the street or on the Internet (especially news about SA), my mind starts sexualising it and the discomfort or slight anxiety with strange feelings in the groinal area start to appear.

There are also some thoughts which support that $#%^ and I'm in doubt that I'll never harm a child. I understand that I don't want to do cruel things to anybody in the world, but, unfortunately, I'm still doubting.

There was a thought tat caused distress to watch illegal material. OFC I didn't.

About the episode: the doubting about my fear to become a p-word began in the midlle of January, 2023. After the uncountless amount of researches, mental tests if I'm straight or P, I decided to masturbate on intrusive thought. Maybe due to low libido, maybe due to another reason, there was nothing. But I decided to go further and added 2 kinks to intrusive thought during testing. ###$, I reached orgasm. It was fast and full of anxiety. After the whole process I wanted to cry and to commit suicide. And I started avoiding any interaction with a child, I decided not to pursue a perspective to find a gf and to become a father. Moreover, I had plans to become a teacher at the language centre. After that episode I gave up with that idea.

Well, I need some explainments about my current mental condition. Does that behaviour somehow relate to OCD with sexual obsessions or I am pervert?

The answers from therapists specialising in OCD/GAD/sexologists will be appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

No answers from therapists here- we're peer support. If anyone practices therapy here, I practice using the banhammer.

And, you say you're not asking for reassurance, but yeah really I think you are. It feels as if you're looking for ways to keep worrying you're a P and not accepting a OCD diagnosis. You're behaving in this post like many many other people do here. Very OCD-like, in other words. There's nothing in this post I haven't basically seen before as a moderator here. Multiple times. And I'm reassuring you.
