I told my sister the same thing.and im suprised by her reaction she didnt look at me as bad. I think cause my uncle on my dads side did something to his daughter but theres a difference between being a pedophile and actively being. A pedophile. You have thoughts that ive always hid cause i know no one would understand besides my best friend and what she said is better to be a pedophile and live with that label than to actively live and go against that little voice in your head that tells you no when you see a child.it may seem like the wrost of days but remember to tell yourself this is just an impulse i am in control.

Hi Asphyxia, the thoughts you were having kind of sound like OCD thoughts. If you fight OCD thoughts they tend to get stronger. In case the thoughts return, here are some things that help me:
1. remembering that my thoughts don't define who I am 2. remembering my brain can produce disturbing thoughts but that doesn't mean I will act on them 3. remembering that in the end, it doesn't matter what people think of me, even if they find out that I have horrible thoughts 3. allow the thoughts to freely pass through my mind and even positively welcome them to do so. When I do this the thoughts lessen over time 4. practicing ERP techniques and when doing so remember that compulsions can be thoughts too 5. practicing mindfulness techniques to increase focus, reduce anxiety, and help give my mind more ability to choose which thoughts I want to pay attention to. This is not religious (Buddhist) meditation. It is just a set of mental exercises that help your mind to stay calm and focused. Here is the book I used to guide me: "Mindfulness: An Eight-Week Plan for Finding Peace in a Frantic World" |
