I feel really embarrased at what I am about to post but I need to talk to anyone that is going through this.

I was on BBC the other day and someone was trying to report a mans profile, he called it"newborns make me horny". I was shocked and he also had some pictures of little boys on there. I reported it to the FBI and went on about my day to day life.

Well the phrase "newborns make me honry" was stuck in my head. I was so nervous around my little boy and I would get nervouse and I would atomatically say my nervousness was me being horny. I dont have any sexual visuals or anything just the thought.

I am so ashamed to even have these thoughts. My son doesnt turn me on in any kind of way I just dont know how to get over this. If you are having this same problem or something simular PM me if you dont want to talk about it on here.

Please no judgments. I will not hurt my son in anyway nor do I want to its just the thoughts that are making life crazy.

I've gotten stuck on thought's that made me feel like I was bad. I watched a show and it had a pedofile and a canobile in it and for some reason (I don't even remeber) i was so worried that I would become one because I wondered what could go through someone's head that would make them do that. What really helped me was talking. It's probaly a good thing you put it up here. You're not alone and I'm positive the thoguht will pass. God Bless

Quinc,

I have read about your OCD symptom so many times on so many OCD support groups and in OCD books,,,,,,,,many OCDers have had or do have your obsession,,,,,I am sure that fear bothered me for a short time in my long battle with OCD,,,,,,your fear that you might be a pedophile or harm your son is 100% OCD,,,,,,

The best remedy for that is CBT,,,,,

Btw, what is "BBC"? The only BBC I know is the "British Broadcasting Company",,,,,,

BBC is Baby Center. I dont know why they always do 2 b's.

Thank you for all your support. I went to a psyciatrist and he said i had Post partum. I know I have a little ocd. I dont really have visuals or anything like that just thoughts.......He never once said anything about OCD even though I have been thinking I have it.

Hi! I had postpartum for 13 months after I had my son. The OCD I normally have was insane. I thought I was going to molest or kill him and I was deathly afraid to be left alone with him. I am going to give you a link to the support group that literally saved me. I found the section for mom's with OCD and just broke down in tears when I learned I wasn't alone with the ugly intrusive thoughts.

The moderators helped me immensely. One moderator even called me on her own personal time when I was having a crisis.
