I’m so scared

Hello I’m 22 years old and I’m experiencing intense pocd, so basically it first started before Christmas when I was reminiscing on the fact 4 years ago a minor black mailed me into send a d pic I stupidly sent a fake one because I was scared what would happen if I didn’t so I randomly got that and have been reminiscing on that thought, then after new years I slowly started getting better but unfortunately when I was watching a movie IT a new fear unlocked, I was watching the movie and near the end where it shows a girl Beverly I think the character name is I started to think “oh crap am I looking at her the wrong way? So then after the movie ends this new fear begins and since I was getting over the other fear now I’m fixated on the fact I looked at her wrongly and I started to aswell analyse my groinal responses aswell, this then made me it hard for me to sleep and then after a day or 2 I started getting unwanted images in my head that where vile I hated the fact they were in my head, I cried even to the point I told my mom and cried on her shoulder because I’ve never experienced anything like this before, my mother was understanding saying that “your not that type of person” because I never ever had thoughts about minors or anything, but now fast forward to 3 days the images are gone and I feel normal ish but then I scroll on TikTok and I find a topic related to people using AI to “undress children/put them in bikinis” now at first I was like “I can’t believe people are doing this” but now for some reason my brain is like “what if I did that” now I do NOT find any pleasure with this at all and want this specific feeling to go but now it has created an urge for me to use ai to I don’t test or see what happens, like a new fear began, I haven’t used the AI, hell I even deleted twitter but now for some reason my mind is like “oh ok, let’s use chat gpt or google AI” I have resisted the urge to even think about it as it’s an intrusive thought but also one with urge and I do not enjoy it, I really hope this feeling passes because it makes me feel like a horrible immoral person, and I really hate the fact I’m starting the year with this as this is all new to me.
