I really need help I cant tell if these past thoughts and feeling I were having were ocd or not. Ok there is this 7 year old boy I went to church with and I liked being around him because he was funny nice and I feel like that means I liked him I also would get thoughts like oh he looks cute and he is handsome but I think those were just ocd thoughts but I cant tell because I had a feeling when i thought of those of liking him. Also one time he told me i was pretty and i got butterflies and i dont think that’s normal right? I just had a feeling when I was around him but I cant tell what that feeling is or was. Am I just overreacting? I also would look at him and feel like I liked him or he liked me but I realized that was just my ocd. I just feel so guilty for these thoughts like I really think I liked him but the last time I saw him was a few months ago and his grandmother asked about a date I went on and I thought I wonder if he would be jealous (the 7 year old) I just brushed that thought off tho. I think I’m so worried because I would just brush these thoughts off and not pay attention to them so they must be real. I talk to my sister and mom and say it’s no big deal. I just feel so guilty and I’m so depressed I dont even brush my teeth or hair anymore I am homeschooled to and it’s so hard because I’m to stressed to even pay attention to my school work. I just need someone to talk to and see if anyones had this feeling too.

I'm so sorry you are suffering! I've had a similar experience to you. Trust me, it's just your ocd. It's okay to enjoy the company of a seven year old, you haven't done anything wrong! Clearly you were so worried you liked him in an unnacceptable way that your brain tricked you into having those butterflies. You obviously don't like the thoughts you had and are extremely worried about them. It's you ocd. You aren't a bad person, if you were you wouldn't be so stressed about it. I hope this has helped you feel a bit better. Good luck! You can beat this!
