Hi. I know it’s really really tough and horrible but you need to try to stay off Reddit. That’s a compulsion. You can do this!!!
But why did someone tell me they think I am 😭 I must be
@lennygirl It’s a random person on the internet that has no idea what you suffer from. And yes I agree with the comment below being triggering.
@OCD33 I imagined myself in that scenario and it feels like I liked it.
@lennygirl You are focusing on it and the feelings. How many hours a day do you ruminate about this theme?
@OCD33 All day. All day.
@OCD33 It never leaves my mind
@lennygirl Don’t we think that’s an obsession then?
@OCD33 I don’t know 😭
Hi! Lesbian here. What’s wrong with being bi, babe? I used to feel this way but now I’m engaged to the woman of my dreams and I’ve never been happier. Literally sitting in Hawaii with her right now, about to eat dinner. How can I help? You deserve happiness. Authentic happiness.
I know you mean well, but are you familiar with SOOCD?
@lennygirl Oh I’m sorry I think I got the context flip flopped, here. I was thinking you were struggling with your SO because of intrusive thoughts of “bi=bad” And I am still learning on this app so I really apologize for invalidating your experience.
@Jaaacquue No worries at all! Thanks for being so nice. Hope you enjoy Hawaii!
What they think doesn’t matter. They’re not tou
** you
Totally an obsession. Best thing you can do is say “maybe I am, maybe I’m not.” Or agree with the thought and say “I am bi,” and sit with that fear/uncertainty. You are so much stronger than you think, and I’m glad you’re here fighting this beast <3
Reassurance seeking is a compulsion, so is ruminating/figuring it out. It’s okay if you mess up and engage in them, but realize it will keep you stuck in the cycle the more often you do compulsions. I have all the love and compassion for you tho, I know it is so tough :)
