https://www.reddit.com/r/OCD/comments/6dz9n8/sexual_abuse_survivors_do_you_ever_feel_this_way/>I'm a 20 year old woman who was sexually abused from ages 11-12... Sometimes I get horribly intrusive thoughts about harming children. I'm terrified to be around young kids sometimes cause I'm so scared I might do something to hurt them. I never have found myself sexually attracted to a child ever but I'm so scared that because of these intrusive thoughts I might do something bad... Does anybody else feel this way?? What are your coping strartegies?? I hate feeling like this.Same girl, she's mentally ill as well. Like pottery.
