Hi Fallen Angel, it sounds like you are in a lot of pain right now. Having these unwanted thoughts is a symptom of OCD and does not mean you are crazy, or evil, or perverted. These thoughts will probably be even more prominent if you try to suppress them so I would try to use a form of relaxation or breathing technique to cope with them rather than try to stop them. You have nothing to be embarassed about and I think if you bring this up to your T you will be surprised and comforted to realize that this is not abnormal and that you are OK. When you told me this I did not think that there was anything sick about what you told. This is a part of OCD and medication can help treat this. Please do not feel ashamed. You are not alone and by talking to your therapist (Maybe just start by talking about having thoughts that are uncomfortable for you) you will be able to get the help to cope with these thoughts. Hope it goes well for you.
