Unwanted thoughts, regardless of the nature but sexual thoughts are common with OCD, can really really SUCK. Don't let them power of them scare you. You can't control thoughts that come into your head and they are NOT who you are... it sounds like OCD. I take prozac now and I know longer have thoughts that disturb me... oh sure sometimes a sacriligious thought will come in.. like something awful about my religion... but I have learned that it is OCD... there IS a medical reason behind this. The good news is medication is not always necessary! Brain Lock by Jeffrey Schultz I believe his name is... talks about an easy 4 step method to get rid of these thoughts. Reading the book talks about how this cognitive method really can change your brain chemistry and help you from suffering from this. I think one of the biggest things to do is to go to a counselor or psychiatrist to insure it IS ocd. Once you realize its just a hiccup or something in the brain... you can label it as such and move on. It may be the FEAR of the thoughts that is keeping it going. It's important to diagnose what this is... it sure sounds like anxiety which is SO treatable. Never give up! I feel your pain... but there is help!! I wouldn't reply to this if I didn't think so!! Google OCD unwanted thoughts and Im sure you will see a BUNCH of different types of thoughts that go thru ones mind and you are NOT ALONE!!! OCD is very very common... and you are NOT crazy!!!

Please go see a doctor... and get a diagnosis... and try either medication or other therapy whether its behavioral or cognitive. Thoughts would probably be better to treat with self talk and RX but I am not doctor. All I know is I felt like you did... like I wanted to just NOT MOVE... for fear of thoughts... and then I started prozac and and am now free from the power of these thoughts!!! Hope this helps!!
