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.

Its not because of that I meant do they think Im gay bc of my posts or is it solely bc I post too much

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.š¤¦š½āāļø

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 itās because youāre so adamant that youāre gay. Youāre not asking for reassurance or anything, so I think people donāt 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.

I know this isnāt healthy but Iām in a really bad place. If I actually did something so disgusting I donāt deserve to live. I know me dying would just cause more pain but I feel itās what I deserve. I confessed on here, which I know I shouldnāt have, but being ignored is making me worry that my actions were actually unacceptable

Iām so tired. Iām so tired. Iāve lost so much weight due to this mental illness. I sleep 18 hours a day to escape these thoughts. I grieve my old self so much. I miss crushing on men, I miss loving men, I miss dressing up nice and get compliments from men, I miss listening to music and daydream about my dream man. I miss wanting to get married and have my own kids with my dream husband. All of those things⦠Iāve desired them so much and Iāve daydreamed about them so much. My OCD is telling me that itās all fake. I miss my old desire and love for men. Iām so tired of being alive. Iām so tired of seeing multiple posts where people who apparently suffered from SOOCD became their fears. Iām so tired. Cause yāall probably didnāt even have ocd in the first place idc. I will say it again, has it been someone with pocd or harm ocd and their obsessions/fears became true NONE of yāall wouldāve had the same reaction. Stop normalizing soocd obsessions becoming true. It is someoneās worst nightmare. People are out here attempting because of it.

Hi,im a fourteen years old girl. I live in a homophobic country,and i dont have any experience. I grew up and became homophobic just like my family and my religion.but in 13 year old.i was questioning why lgptq is illegal?while they are just being them and canāt select what they are? So..i became an agnostic or atheist by secret.oh,by addition,before i became atheist i was making sure i donāt like women,like looking at women pics and imagine some romantic or sexual senarios just to find out,(and i wasnt feel anything and didnt like them),and i was happy and comfort for being straight (i was liking fictional men and some actors,within experience except an online male friend i liked but we didnāt date).but after being atheist,its like fire,i start developing HOCD,im not officially have that because I canāt have a therapist,but i have the Symptoms 100%. I didnt know whats hocd ,i find out whats it before a month.when i was struggling with it like 7 months,so,i think it started when i was in very close friendship with a girl in school,i was confused.if i liked her or not,i was imagining,questioning,making scenarios,but i couldnt have an answer,but then i was comfort to keep it just friendship.when the questions about her go,i can see her normally as a friend and i dont think of her or text her every day and it sometimes reaches months in summer holidays and its normally to me,no romantic acts about her,but then i had a new friend to the group and i had the same thoughts and questions to her.and now my brain questioning if i like them bothš¢.ok.this gone.this is before year,before being atheist.after being.i was questioning ādo i like women?ā Or when i see a fictional woman,i start to look at her and questioning myself and try to catch any feeling,i swear i would accept myself to be gay or bisexual,but i just canāt feel or accept that..i feel like burn.i cried and cried.it somedays turns so hard that I canāt even study or live normally.i also started to lose my attraction to men.i feel like its gone,I canāt now imagine being a man without getting uncomfortable,i miss the days when i was enjoying imagining kissing and sexing with a man.but,hocd,always reminds me i have no experience,and its all imaginary,so I donāt have a real clue from beginning that im straight.and i also read an girl experience with hocd and she became a lesbian at the end,i get so scary.it feels so real.i just wanna cry forever.im afraid that i will like a girl in the future,it chock me and burns.i hate this feeling.to thr god i dont know or believe in,please,if i like women,just let me feel it normally without this fear and hurting.i dont want to be gay.i dont want to like women.i dont want to be bisexual or lesbian.but if being any of those but comfort without this feeling that makes me wanna suicide.i would accept,please.just please,i even canāt get a therapist,even online,i just want help.please.i dont want to be like those girls that find out they liked women all the time,im scared,i miss my old feelings and trusting.i hate this.i just want to die if its mean hocd to go.i feel like its so real and i will love a girl no way in hell future.i even feel its not wrong to like women,like its much better and more soft that men,but i just canāt.I canāt.i dont know,i did everything.i gave myself permission to find out or explore my attraction to the both genders but it hurts me more.i dont want to get hurts again anymore.just remembering i have no experience or clue i like men even if in past felt like i would like and date a man and liven with him,i keep reminding its all was Based on imaginationā¦even if i was wishing to love a man,hocd ruined this peaceful feeling,i was really find peaceful of loving a man.but now,i donāt feel like before,and this scares me,i donāt know what to do.I canāt have a therapist,and dont even know how to get better,,,
