If you love her you can choose her!I know the OCD feels really really real, but it is not you. If you love her, choose her.

I want to choose her but how can I if this is nagging at me all the time. The worst part is it feels like it’s always been there but now it’s just getting stronger and stronger. Idk

@BradOCD Have you shared your struggle with her at all? I was feeling exactly the same way, but I told my fiancé what I was going through and letting that wall down was really helpful. It’s also scary! But not going through it alone (while in a relationship) is such a big help.

I totally understand - that's really a horrible feeling but just try best as you can to sit with how uncomfortable it all feels. and remember - OCD is OCD, don't get bogged down in content - when I'm staring at a tap that I know is off and I'm trying to leave my house, the tap is not the problem, OCD is the problem. :) The thoughts are not the problem, OCD is. Tell it "maybe" and try your best to carry on with your day regardless of whatever nonsense OCD is shouting :)

@BradOCD Because I literally experience false attraction the attraction that I think I’m experiencing literally changes right before my eyes when I calm down

OCD is all about doubt and it attacks the things we love and care about the most- that's how it keeps us in its grip! So it makes sense in OCDs awful way that OCD would attack your relationship as it's clearly so dear to you. I'm so sorry you're going through this - it's really really difficult I know but try not to wish the thoughts away so much, try to say "yeah, whatever, maybe" and although that feels impossible the more you say maybe over time the easier things will be. :)

When i calm down it just feels like I’m okay with it all? Like it makes it more confusing?

OCD can latch onto anything, even feeling calm "why do I feel calm now? Shouldn't I be anxious? What does this feeling of calm mean?!" This is OCD doing its thing once again. It's really tough but you've got this! ✨

LESBIAN WITH SO-OCD
I have been doing okay for the past week or so and was really happy i felt that i was getting back on track, but today i went on tiktok and i saw something triggering which was “i thought i was a lesbian for 4 years until i met my now boyfriend” and it triggered me very badly, i have been crying all day and i can’t seem to make myself feel okay. i feel like im lying to myself that im not lesbian and i truly want men, but when i get any thought about men it feels disgusting and wrong and not me, i don’t want men i feel so sick i want to get out of this. i always felt so happy as a lesbian im so stuck i don’t want to be with a man. i have a loving girlfriend i just want to be happy with her.

LESBIAN WITH SO-OCD
hi i’m a lesbian! and i have known im a lesbian for a really long time and i have a sweet girlfriend of 1 year. it all started when i saw this masc lesbian come out as straight, after that i had my guy friend over and he’s a sweet guy and he was flirting with me (he didn’t know i was gay) im not sure but i panicked and my brain froze and i was like “do i like him”, ever since my brain has been over worked 24/7 for 2 months now and it’s spiralling constantly. im trying to control it but all these thoughts are so disgusting and my brain tries to put him and i in scenarios that make me uncomfortable and i feel panic and i hate it. i have always been comfortable being a lesbian and i still am comfortable as a lesbian, but i dislike these thoughts i have about him and men and i want it to be over. i do not want to experiment with men even tho my brain is telling me i do, i find it disgusting and i dread it, i have a sweet girlfriend and i want to be with her forever, i do not imagine anything with any men and i hate these thoughts. im scared of becoming bisexual/straight one day and i hate hearing sexuality is fluid. its a whole mix of comphet and so-ocd
