Yeah instrusive thoughts can come as statements, questions , images, mini videos, urges, feelings, sensations probably more. But thats what i know so far.

Now what you have to do to repax is accept the presence of all these intrusive thoughts and anxious thinking let them float around in your head and try your best to do absolutely nothing to engage with any of the thoughts take a couple of deep breaths and try and stay present and keep moving forward with ocd yelling at you just dont engage with them no matter what they say to convince to engage.

Im currently going through the same and am trying my best as well. Idk if ill give in to checking and cumpulsions but i sure am going to try my hardest to not do anything to engage with these thoughts, and if i get tangled i hope i have the strength to see whats happening and continue to do nothing. I will stop feeding my ocd

@Mr.ocd It did a bit yeah. What scares and confused me at the moment is that I was literally 5 minutes ago I was just sitting totally zoning out. I don’t know what exactly I was thinking because I just can’t remember for whatever reason it was weird because I was zoning out but then the back of my brain wasn’t and I said I was I was I know I was mad I was so frustrated and I said something like boobs/balls but I don’t want boobs and the thing is what scares me is that I can think something like that so emphatically like I was no and you have to say balls to like I really am when I’m not bisexual and if I think something like that mindlessly what does that mean is inside me? I don’t want boobs so I don’t understand I would why would say boobs/balls when I want balls and even as I was trying to write that sentence I said boobs in the back my head when I don’t want them and I don’t now I don’t wanna know who I am I don’t want to look and I can’t stop thinking of the shapes and stuff and points and nipples and shit and roundness and I don’t like it and keep hurting my lips but I don’t wanna do what babies do and I’m blushing I hope you’re not offended but it’s kind of embarrassing talking to a guy about this because I don’t know a lot of other guys are probably just trying to turn this into a kink not saying you’re that guy I’m just saying in general it’s just embarrassing. I keep pressing my lips like I do but I don’t wanna do a babies do and I keep saying how I don’t want boobs/balls and I keep picking boobs and I’m scared I said I have to embrace my sexuality but I don’t want boobs I wanna embrace that don’t want boob/balls but why do I keep picking I don’t wanna boobs and now I can’t breathe like I feel worse I don’t want boobs at all I wanna balls not/boobs i’m just gonna do and I’m scared I have to except him to keep a little imagine living life saying but I’m I’m not bisexual I said with a dual I don’t have a dual attraction But why do I keep picking them and I’m scared I don’t and I am but I’m not gay either I don’t want boobs I don’t want boobs I can’t say it I don’t want boobs/balls I want balls but why do I can possibly keep thinking boobs I want balls I don’t want boob/balls I want balls I want boys I want pectorals I don’t want boob/balls I want balls and I don’t understand

@Bookworm91 From what ive read in one of my ocd books ocd thoughts/ instrusive thoughts are ego dystonic meaning they go against who u are which is why they cause a alarm and anxiety to go in your head and since we have a ocd brain its harder to let them go because ocd minds are sticky. Another thing is you afraid to say boobs instead of balls when you ask yourself what you want. But the more afraid you are of something more itll pop up like if you're in the dark and you afraid theres something in your room your mind will start making creatures and figures with the glimpses of oight that enter your room. Its the pink elephant thing where if i say close your eyes and dont think of a pink elephant its gonna be hard to not think of that. The lip thing seems like another layer of the same compulsion too but adding your senses to it. I think that might be why its hard for your brain to not say boobs atm.

@Mr.ocd This could take shape with any word, image, sensation etc. I mean literally for me its checking if i have feelings for this coworker that i already checked if i had feeling for a while back in my case i feel like my ocd latches on to positive feeling i have towards a guy such as a feeling of friendship, thinking theyres cool, good looking etc... and flipping it to try to make me think it means i actually like them. In this instance the guy is a photographer too but hes also a nice guy and i think hes cool so i like him as a person and my ocd is like check if this feeling mean you "LIKE" them and i check and after my fog brain and fight or flight response with the scary thought of this feeling actually being a actually liking feeling fades i can see that it isnt that but it left me drained and afraid i didnt check right etc.

@Mr.ocd And its super scary for ke because its like ive already dealt with this already. But my ocd adds a new spin to it always. Also OCD just like a baby throwing a tantrum to get what they want, when you ignore them they yell louder and and start throwing things to get their way. So the ocd thoughts get stronger, giving us more anxiety and worry until it finally gets what it whats in our case a reaction to keep feeding the ocd inside our brain. Ive managed to kinda of brush off some scary things these past few days but it got more intense today and i gave in. Now im left with this worry. But if we get through the strong part just once on the other side awaits growth and breaking off even if just a little bit from the hold ocd has on us. Like how a storm gets really bad right before slows down and it stops. I never once seen a steady downpour.

@Bookworm91 Ive done the checking of males physical too... It was so freaking scary... Gronial responses were scary until i learned that are anxiety affecting the private areas and hyper awareness of them.

@Mr.ocd I hope so but I’ve done the opposite of you and obviously not the same thing happened really but still freaking out if you know what I mean so like similar but not totally the same. But what scares me right now is that when you describe looking at male genitalia which I actually enjoy I cringed and I stepped away inside my head like I don’t like it and I don’t understand why would that be or why would I say EW when I like males it’s not a W now keep treating them like they are when they’re not and that scares me I can’t stop making a disgusted face like maybe men and I can’t stop remembering I smile like I do but I don’t want women naked I don’t want a woman to have a dick I want a man to have a dick because unfortunately I’ve seen that the things I’ve seen is not something I am proud of but I don’t like acting like dick is when it’s not nasty nice definitely don’t want What goes into and I act like I would like that is but I don’t want lips and I said vagina is but it’s way more disgusting that interesting I want dick why am I treating it like it’s gross why did I do that

I've been really overwhelmed with thoughts of detransitioning even though I don't want to like thinking I'm not a boy. It's been making my anxiety go up like crazy but I've never had this problem this much before, and I've always felt so proud of who I was and stuff but I don't know why this is coming up all of a sudden and I'm scared. I don't want to detransition but these thoughts won't go away. I often have feminine interests and have been trying to get into a better mindset and I feel like those things are making me feel more feminine and I don't want to feel that way.

I feel different from others, I don’t feel as feminine and I feel like I’ve changed. I’m not sure why I feel this way. I also don’t think my ocd is ocd, it’s just something I told myself to feel better. I know! What if I am what if I’m not, I get it, but I don’t feel like i have a choice in the matter anymore. I have soocd and it’s eaten me alive for years. I woke up out of my sleep and got triggered and here I am. I don’t know what I feel anymore. I always wanted a boyfriend and now It seemed to change. I don’t want a girlfriend, it’s just that I don’t see anything for myself and I feel like I’m hiding. It’s hard to explain. Plus sometimes the way I move or speak makes me feel more masculine and it kills me. Im feeling so lost and alone right now. I know what I want deep down but I feel incapable of having those things because I won’t be able to have feeling. If that makes sense.

I had a bad rumination spiral yesterday and went to bed hoping I’d start over in the morning. I was wrong. I had dreams about liking women and not being attracted to men anymore and my entire body has been in a state of anxiety since. I genuinely feel like I’m gay and just need to accept it. I have this urge to accept it. Maybe if I do I’ll get some sort of relief because this feeling is awful. I feel like my brain is telling me that I’ll get relief if I just accept it and come out. The intrusive thoughts don’t even seem to be around sexual images anymore, just to come out.
