Very Unwanted Thoughts
Hi, i am a 20 year old female..I have never been sexually abused, however while growing up, it happened to a member of my family....and also my mother was sexually abused alot during childhood, so i have always been uncomfortable with that subject.
Recently, i have been having very intrusive, disturbing thoughts about children.
I dont understand why its happening, i think that kind of thing is disgusting. Also i have always been great with children, i have a nephew who i love more than anything. The thought of hurting someone like that makes me sick, really, it makes my stomach hurt and i throw up.
It has gotten to the point that Its all i think about all day, i am crying everyday, doubting myself, my self esteem was already very low, and now its just much worse, i hate being around any children because i have those thoughts and my arms start hurting, so i try to avoid it if at all possible. I am constantly in fear of hurting children. If i am around children, i will not allow any physical contact. I am almost to the point of never leaving my house.
I have done research and found that all of my symptoms fall under the "Pure O" form of ocd.
I really want to get on SSRI's, i have heard they work well. Has anyone else experienced this? and what medications have helped with the obsessing, or bad thoughts?

In your case, i think as a medical student, that psychotherapy is more useful in your case.
There is nothing to worry about these thoughts, because you will not committing them.
But if you want a drug for that, it could help, what will do is make you indifferent to these thoughts, so with time u'll forget them
Zoloft is one of the best of SSRI, ask your dr about it.
good luck
