Mine got real bad last night. I was watching a youtube video and enjoying the fact that i thought one of the guys in it was really cute. My brain suddenly crashed in with "you like him because he looks like a girl" which was literally in no way true whatsoever. I just sort noticed it as an ocd thought and then later in the video several girls showed up and i absolutely panicked. My brain went haywire with "do you want to kiss them?! You DO" which forced me immediately into a compulsion. The spiral was so bad and horrible and then once it was over and my head cleared i was like "...wait a minute. Dammit!!" Its absolutely crazy how ocd can twist you and program your brain certain ways despite having tons of evidence to the contrary. Because its chasing that compulsory relief. Thats what it wants.

I relate to both posts SO much!! Ocd could give a rats ASS about evidence. There’s absolutely no way to convince it, it’s a fruitless task. Sometimes I try to just laugh at it. Like I’ll have the thought, and then as fast as I can before the anxiety sets in I’ll be like “haha yea SURE”. Mostly though I just calmly hold off the anxiety for as long as I can until “it” gets bored and leaves me alone.

yeah! everytime i go to my therapist and she asks me what evidence is behind my worry i’ll b like “uhh wait actually not really anything, except this one, small thing that happened two years ago” and she will literally give me 10 straight up SCIENCE facts as to why that worry is not worth spending time on, but damn it’ll still pop up the the next hour and the evidence seems all forgotten

I don’t have religious ocd so I can’t tell you. Please, only reply with helpful replies. I know you are struggling, but by commenting “please tell me how to overcome religious ocd” on every post isn’t going to help. Put your post under the right tag and people that are going through it too will help you. But I really don’t know how to, I am sorry

Do you ever just think about how crazy OCD is? Like I’ve been obsessing over this particular theme for like 5 months now, and it hasn’t come true once. It’s so confusing and crazy how one thought can take over our minds so easily like this.

This thing gets weirder and weirder I swear. I literally woke up, right. And my mind immediately went “What if you don’t have OCD? You’d just be really bi” and I went along pretending that I didn’t know about OCD and I was just experiencing denial. Then I scrolled on twitter and went on my friend’s page and then my mind went “why don’t you like her? There’s nothing wrong with her. I thought you were supposed to have a crush on her” Here’s the worst part in this: I’m now convinced that HOCD is a huge lie that I made up and it’s homophobic for me to suffer from this theme of OCD and label my “attractions” to the same sex as “bouts of anxiety.” Therefore, I’m not only a bad person, but a liar.

Why does false memory occur so many years later
Why does false memory always pick on situations that are so far in the past? Mine literally came to me 6 whole years after a drunk night out that I couldn’t stop obsessing about. The scary thing for me is the real detail in my false memory that my ocd is now saying is ‘evidence’, my therapist keeps saying that the ‘evidence’ really isn’t evidence and deep down I think I do know that but for me it’s the real details that keep me hooked. It’s like how can ‘this’ be real but ‘that’ not be real if you get me? It’s all so confusing and my brain hurts. The brain is a wild thing.
