Alright, here it goes.
For that last few months I have been having these horrible intrusive thoughts, sexual ones about my mother. I constantly worry if I am in love with her or if I am attracted to her, which is strange because I am not homosexual nor have I ever been attracted to women. I've always had a close relationship with my mother and loved her and I always have been curious about sex, and I have never been in a relationship or have been in love at the age of 17.

I just don't know what to do I feel sick and I feel as if I am evil and there is something is wrong with me and I am always checking if I am aroused when I am around her. I never have had these thoughts before but one day it popped into my head and now it's a thought I can't seem to dismiss and it has just grown worse and I think about it everyday. I pray and I pray to God but I realize that he can't always help and sometimes you have to help yourself but I just need some advice and guidance and I also need to know what to do because I don't think I can bring myself to tell anybody right now.

Thank you for all those who answer.

-Also it seems my mother has thoughts that she can't stop thinking about sometimes.
-I also worry if these aren't intrusive thoughts and im just that disgusting kind of person.
Lately I have been contemplating self harm and suicide.

hey. (this is my 1st post) but the reason you feel so sick and ANXIOUS proves you don't want to have sex with your mother. We all think strange thoughts at times but you suffer with ANXIETY and now your mind is playing tricks on you. its sending waves of adrenaline in your body and you are fighting with your conscious. just relax i know its not that easy but trust me when i say this it will go. your not a weirdo your not going mad you've just thought a silly thought one day and don't understand why you did so, so now its spiraling round in circles. i know this might sound stupid but just try laugh the thought off "err gross" sorta thing. and eat healthy exersize socialise and your find yourself feeling much better

Its just a random crazy thought. Pay it no attention and it will fade. Its untrue and of no importance.
