does your socd come in waves? I’m really worried because I get occasional thoughts but I no longer sit and ponder over them like I used to. Does that mean I’m bi/lesbian? I’ve honestly gotten more used to the idea and seeing bi/lesbian content doesn’t really distress my anymore (which is honestly good.) but does that mean that since I’m more comfortable seeing it, that I’m bi? I really do like the thought of men, but then again what if I don’t? What if I’m faking it? What if I like women more? I mean, I do find the female body attractive. Does that make me bi? I’ve never found attraction to any other woman before though.

i think every ocd themes come in waves. sometimes the thoughts don't really bother you and sometimes it feels really real, that's just how it is but try your best not to do compulsions, it'll come and go

Mine definitely comes in waves. It really scares me that I’ve gone 4 months without coming on this app for reassurance but I still had thoughts. I understand

@Ope Did you ever have thoughts during those 4 years?

@Ope That makes me feel better. I really worry about the fact that I sometimes have thoughts even when I’m doing okay and I don’t feel the need to spend hours on reddit like I do when I’m having a flare up.
