I knew this would be an answer but to be honest it just fills me with more anxiety because I can’t tell if it feels good or not or if it feels good but then I just dwell on it not wanting to feel good :/

@Anonymous That makes sense, I used to get anxious cos I was so nervous about my body image and things like that but not specifically because it was a boy I don’t think, I also went to an all girls school growing up which made boys this intimidating thing:/ It’s so hard to tell cos it’s usually when I’m drunk that I analyse and think maybe I could fancy a woman but then when I’m sober I freak out and start over thinking it all It’s not helped by the fact I live with my boyfriend who I love to pieces and just can’t bear the thought of having to leave him Thank you for responding and being understanding:) I really appreciate it

Hi there! Thank you so much for sharing on here. I’ve definitely been in your shoes, and it certainly doesn’t feel good. Have you created some exposures around this obsession? As distressing as it is in the beginning, it will be very helpful to decrease your anxiety in the long run. You could say statements like, “I may or may not be attracted to women.“ Or you could say, “I am uncertain about my sexuality.“ It will definitely bring on the stress in the beginning, but the more you do it, the more your brain will except the uncertainty and it won’t rule your mind anymore. I know that I’ll see you feel strong, but remember that you are stronger!

Knowing the difference
Does anyone have any advice for how to know the difference between ocd and real feelings/thoughts? Sometimes an intrusive thought will come in and I immediately know it’s ridiculous and I can just leave it alone and it won’t bother me but other times I really really don’t know. It’s when ocd hijacks and twists my real feelings and thoughts and tries to manipulate me into believing they’re something they’re not or something that doesn’t align with my true morals or intentions. But since it’s twisting and mixing with real feelings I get so confused and scared. Everything gets jumbled and I feel like I can’t trust myself or my own mind. Yet other times and other topics I can laugh off and push away just fine. Make it make sense. And then I start to think well maybe I don’t have ocd at all and I’m just in denial because I don’t want to accept that these scary/concerning things are true about myself. Or maybe that’s just the ocd talking.

SOCD false attraction
hey guys, i’m almost fully healed in my socd journey but what’s stopping me is the false atractions. i get them almost 24/7 at this point and to every thing. they feel real and i hate them they make me feel disgusted. they also make me feel like hot and gross but then i see people saying thats what attractions feel like, but i have felt so much attraction to the opposite gender pre all of this and it felt nice and enjoyable not digustinf. i’m also getting false memory trying to show me ‘signal’ from my childhood to prove i’m gay amd i truly don’t know if they’re real. it’s so degrading and at this point i feel like govining up. pelesse if you have any advice or even if your going through the same thing just let me know. ocd is so terrible
