I think something is wrong with me because I seem to only feel immoral and bad things about everything
I feel arousal and attraction to horrible things and people and beings
I can't seem to feel empathy about victims even though I don't wanna feel like that and I keep trying to make myself feel empathy for them but I just feel immoral things instead
I can't watch the important news because I will just get obsessed and aroused
I tried to follow a PTSD podcast because I have PTSD symptoms but instead I would just replay the podcasts because hearing people's experiences made me feel aroused
I'm just a living breathing monster
Why was I born like this, what do I even do? Am I evil?
1 & 2 - Thoughts/feelings are not "immoral." Thoughts/feelings are inherently neutral. How you treat others is what matters.
3- You cannot choose what you feel. This includes empathy, sympathy, and compassion [link.] You do not need to empathize with victims, all that matters is you treat victims with kindness.
4 & 5 - Having a paraphilia with obsessive compulsive traits doesn't make you evil. I think the best thing for you to do would be to try and avoid these things, as to avoid obsessive spirals - not because it makes you "evil" but rather because it seems unhealthy in the way that it distresses you. Maybe try some of these therapy worksheets?

These may also help. They were designed with MAPs in mind, but could help even if you're not a MAP, just by changing the word "children" to whatever other term.
