Whoa, whoa, whoa. . . I am sorry if you live in a world where people would ignore you because you're gay. You are seen, you are welcome (I mean, I don't run the place or nothing), you are on a message board set up to bury older posts under the newer ones and aren't necessarily read by a ton of people. Also, keep in mind that none of us are therapists and, speaking for myself, I feel ill-equipped to dole out advice, especially since my therapist has access to what I write. All I can do is share experience and, sometimes, cat pictures. I think what I'm doing right now is reassurance, which I shouldn't be doing, but I wanted you to know how these boards work.

I think sometimes we get no replies to our posts on here because people are either too drained due to their own OCD or they have a different theme and don't know how to help. Heck, it could even be that their OCD convinced them not to reply. Don't take it personal though. Many times I want to reply to posts on here but end up getting intrusive thoughts about replying.🤦🏽♀️

It probably has more to do with the absolute chaos that is early January than anything to do with you. I'm not saying January is a nightmare month BUTTTT

you're financially and emotionally and sometimes physically recovering from Christmas (which, even if you don't celebrate, is exhausting) and New Year as well as dealing with a J-month Birthday Storm, resolutions, and expectations and anxiety that comes with the new year.

I think it’s because you’re so adamant that you’re gay. You’re not asking for reassurance or anything, so I think people don’t feel compelled to reply.

That too but thats bc I think its true so I dont know what else to ask for and say when my anxiety is through the roof. Reassurance hasnt worked in several months, just think what all I went through was a a discovery process mixed with hocd symptoms and Id probably give in to these thoughts but because Im suppresing my conditon keeps getting worse and worse and until I act on them it wont go away.

@Imaan7 - To be honest, I am not sure what you are looking for people to say in response to your posts.

@Minde - I feel really bad that you are going through this, and I want you to feel some kind of hope. It breaks my heart that you feel like you should die. That is certainly not the case! I know you started therapy and I really hope that you can find some peace through the process.
