You are not alone!! Stay strong. I know these feelings too
do you really? i feel so alone and scared it’s real attraction right now. it’d be nice to know someone relates!
@garden I genuinely understand you, especially because I also struggle with SO-OCD and POCD. Sometimes the attraction feels overwhelming real and the most scared thing is that they come when I least expect. How about you? Just remember to sit with the uncertainty!
@milena_vl i think it’s scariest when it genuinely feels real. like sometimes with ocd i can be like pfft that’s just my brain trying to scare me. but when it feels real my stomach drops and i’m terrified
@garden I’m scared I’ll provide you reassurance, but just know that I know this and I see you. I genuinely see you!
@milena_vl thank you it does mean a lot 💛
OCD always feels real, if it didn't feel real you wouldn't worry about it. I used to (and sometimes still do) have intrusive thoughts about my dad. I don't love it, but I got to a point where it's more like a movie that plays and I'm watching it but not worrying or reacting to it.
that’s good! i’m glad it’s gotten better to deal with. i find that these are more feelings than thoughts? i hope they’re intrusive nonetheless and not true.
@garden I think that's such a common thing with OCD. Someone else literally wrote the exact same thing about feelings and thoughts in another thread. You can have thoughts or feelings or sensations or urges or anything with OCD. It's all part of it.
