Ok, you know how little kids do crazy sexual things when they are young. Well, i thought i raped another kid when i was a kid but everyone tells me it's not rape because i was a kid and you know how that goes. Anyways, some people said i should go to a rape support group just to prove to myself it wasn't rape. Well, last night i was thinking and stuff and thoughts were going through my head about rape or doing stuff against someone's will and i thought of myself doing that to people and my own boyfriend! I would never rape someone and it's not like i actually want to think about it. crazy stuff pops in my head and everyone also tells me everyone has crazy thoughts but they just let them go and think nothing of them. How can i make myself think nothing of them? I am going to a psychologist for other reasons and i could bring this up but i was just wondering how to deal with it until then. Thanks!!!

 If you're alreaady seeing a psychologist, bring it up. It's a piece of the puzzle that needs to come out. OCD can be treated with medication and cognitive therapy but it takes work.
