Does anyone else get this? I have intrusive thoughts/dreams/even feelings and have no anxiety. Then realise that and feel like "ok I don't have ocd, I was in denial and have now accepted I'm gay" (I am straight btw). Then the anxiety starts. After suffering for almost 2 years, you get used to it and stop getting anxiety in to thoughts/dreams/feelings, so it's almost like ocd won't stop until I feel anxious so it does it through my worst fear coming true through feelings.

I get it AND this is how OCD works. I’ve been suffering with it for a long time too, and where I used to get SOOO upset now I just feel like.. used to it? The good news is that this is part of the process. Eventually our brains won’t feel afraid any more and the OCD will subside. I know it feels uncomfortable though! You are not alone.
