I'm struggling to cope with some thoughts I've been having. I've gone through bouts of this worry over the years, something will trigger me worrying about it and then after a while it'll subside but it always gets triggered again in the future. This time it was triggered by doing some research on the creator of a TV show I watch, There's been a ton of controversy over the last year about a book that the creator of the show wrote about her life. She has been accused of being a child molestor since the book has come out due to her describing some events that took place between her and her younger sister when she was a child. I won't get into the ins and outs of it, but it triggered me worrying about some sexual activity I got up to as a child. I was close to my cousin who is 2 years younger, I remember being about 7 or 8 and playing 'games' in my bedroom that involved us taking our pants off and hugging with our legs intwined. I was obviously just starting to be curious about sex so I don't see this as a big deal. However, what I'm so worried about and can't stop thinking about is that I also remember suggesting we play a game where I pin her on the bed by her arms, attempting to kiss her, and she has to resist.... I remember feeling satisfaction when I would manage to kiss her as she twisted her head back and forth trying to resist. I just cannot understand where I might have gotten the idea of this sexual violence from as a child... I come from an extremely loving family, I was never exposed to anything sexual before I was of age. I am so concerned that my cousin (who I am no longer really in contact with) might be as scarred by this as I am... I am so upset and worried that this is affecting her life, seeing as I was the one who initiated it, and I was the one pinning her down and playing such a sexually violent 'game'. She always looked up to me and I knew she would always do anything to please me so I feel disgusting thinking that I basically led her to take part in my abnormal sexual experimentation.. Today, at 21, I am in a healthy relationship and have a healthy sex life with my boyfriend, however I have struggled all my life with feelings of guilt about all sorts of things. I had a phase where I went on dates and got sexual with some people and I would end up going home and feeling such a sense of shame. I think I have ocd because I get these guilty feelings about different things into my head and they take over for a period of days or weeks, I constantly try to google what I'm feeling to try and dissipate the guilt.. I even went through a phase of worrying obsessively that I was sexually attracted to children...... And now sometimes when I'm out and see a child I can hardly look at them because I get this tingle and a shiver that makes me think I have a problem even though I am in NO WAY attracted to children or being with them or sexual activity with them. This hurts and pains me so badly because I dream of having my own children in the next few years, I know I will be a great mother if I can get past this worrying issue.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated.. I'm just feeling so upset and not in control of my anxiety right now..
