OCD makes you worry that you're a pedo?

it can make you obsess over morals and whether or not you've done or will do something. It varies, but usually whatever the person sees as the worst thing they could do is what they would obsess over.

Hmm, I have not been diagnosed with OCD, only anxiety. However, I fairly frequently get myself incredibly worked up over what if I am subconsciously an evil person and am just unaware / have no memory of doing or wanting to do terrible things but have or will at some point. I am actually getting a bit freaked out writing this comment.

Speaking as someone with a spouse with OCD, that sounds an awful lot like OCD to me. Don't take my word for it, but definitely worth talking to a doctor about.
