If you are experiencing distressing symptoms or believe you may have P-OCD (Pedophilic Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) or any other mental health condition, it's crucial to continue speaking with your therapist or seek the guidance of a mental health professional.
Having intrusive thoughts can be distressing, but it's essential to understand that these thoughts do not define who you are as a person. Intrusive thoughts can occur in various forms and are more common than you might think. They can be triggered by anxiety, stress, or other factors.
It's important to be honest with your therapist about your thoughts and feelings so they can provide appropriate guidance and support. Mental health professionals are trained to help individuals work through these challenging thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental and understanding way.
Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, and you deserve support in addressing your concerns. Don't be too hard on yourself; everyone experiences difficulties and challenges in life. Focus on continuing your therapy sessions and working collaboratively with your therapist to find strategies to cope with the intrusive thoughts.
If you ever feel overwhelmed or in crisis, please reach out to a mental health crisis helpline or a trusted person in your life for immediate support. Take care of yourself and prioritize your mental health during this process.
