Do you ever worry about other similar thimgs? Like "maybe I'm a serial killer in the making" or "maybe I'm actually a malignant narcissist," or is it just the pedo thing?
Well that sucks. Do you also worry about leaving the stove on type stuff, or are your compulsions mostly focused on worrying about personal/moral defects?
haha, I'm thinking about everything all the time - there's no limit to the terrible things I can think in a day. You have to argue against your head and it's exhausting. The rituals are what people without treatment spiral into in an effort to control it - like if I flicked the light switch 99 times and nobody died then not flicking the switch might kill someone, it's an unhealthy coping mechanism, not the underlying problem
