am i going to be fired?

my kid was sick the other day (i’m 1:1 with a 6 year autistic boy) and i felt terrible for him. i kissed the top of his head (like the top of his hair) out of maternal instinct and realized after that i shouldn’t have done that. it was obviously the opposite of sexual, but im still terrified. i’ve seen other teachers do similar stuff, but i have OCD and have been spiraling since this happened on friday. i struggle with endometriosis and am estrogen imbalance, and had just had nexplanon inserted, and so hormonally i am a wreck and feel so attached to the little ones in an almost motherly way, especially since i will most likely have problems with fertility and having children myself. once again, it obviously wasn’t sexual, but my ocd and overthinking is tricking me into thinking someone will think it is. im just nervous that someone saw and will interpret it differently. i hope someone with ocd sees this an understands what im feeling.
