worst type of thoughts back..

[Confused.com1]

Hi.. i have been on this forum many of times over numerous different things i have obsessed over. Only this one is the worst, the thought that i could be a pedofile.. i havent had thoughts of this type in quite a while now. But lately ive been stressing out over finding young girls attractive. (im not even a lesbian or anything) but my niece had a friend round earlier, and i had this feeling that i might have fancied her or something, it makes me sick even writing that. But she had a skirt on and i seen her knickers and i am convinced that i somehow felt aroused or some sort of feeling. I feel sick now like i am some horrible monster. I have always fancied men but now i am thinking what if i am a pedo who likes young girls??? i'm really freaked out and feel sick at the thought.. also i felt like i was acting weird around her like i would if i actually did fancy someone.. urgh i feel sick thinking it but what if i am???? it seemed like i was aroused and now i cant cope also in the past i have found younger men than me attractive so maybe i am.. i just dont know (((((((((((

Typical OCD, any arousal you felt would have been a groinal response, I don't want to offer too much reassurance but think logically...you've always liked guys, you can't just switch to liking kids. Recognize it as OCD and not as the real you x

yeah but as i said in the past i have suffered from these thoughts.. what if i really am? what i felt was like a real attraction? and i feel as though i was acting weird like i would around someone i fancy.. argh hate this thanks for your reply xx

It wasn't a real attraction it was a groinal, I get them all the time and I agree it's blimmin scary and feels so damn real but it's just OCD, nothing more. You're ruminating by asking yourself all these questions.

this has come to my mind again.. worried because of how i acted around this girl is how i think i would act around a guy i would fancy.. which makes me think i MUST BE attracted as if it was ocd why would i be acting like that around her???arghhhhhh i've got so many different thoughts i cant deal with them all

ALSO I think I google too much because I've been looking up people who get similar thoughts to myself and most of the comments I read people say how upset they are and can't live day to day life because of them, now although these thoughts distress me I don't cry and at times they go away... Does this mean it's not ocd and I could be attracted to children?? Or else why wouldn't I get as distraught as most other people who have these thoughts?????

Stop Googling. Really. All it does is make the situation worse.
