OCD will do everything in its power to make you think that your thoughts are true and that you are the exception. Stay strong.

Yeah. But I just feel so horrible to even have the theme I'm having :( so not just because of how it makes me feel but because I have it in the first place

Hate = resistance = compulsion... therfore making them stronger. Don't love them, but try and reduce your resistance. Have some self compassion, you can't stop them. Do ERP on your worst case scenario and work to accept how horrible and awful it could be. Watch for other compulsions that will need to be dealt with slowly reduce them. Work on accepting that your worst case scenario could be true, accept its painful and it hurts really bad that it could be true, Ultimately freedom will be found when you no longer fear the outcome of your obsession, this comes from acceptance

Also, acceptance does NOT mean you like or agree with the intrusive. Its simply acknowledging the thought is there. "This is an OCD thought" Then ignore it. Don't fight, argue, or reason with it. Don't try to convince yourself it's not true. Your anxiety will go crazy at first. The key is not doing any compulsions. Then your anxiety will peak and start to decline. It takes practice and time. Just because the thought FEELS real doesn't mean it is. Intrusive thoughts don't mean anything unless WE attach meaning to them. Everyone has intrusive thoughts

Is this something OCD does?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢

Heyyyy!
So my OCD has been bad lately. I’ve been ruminating and obsessing over my sexuality again. And it just keeps getting worse. I hate it so much. I try to sit with the discomfort but then my ocd does the backdoor spike. And the groinal response is what keeps me looped. It SUCKS. I am not attracted to men, but my OCD is trying SO hard to convince me that I am. There have been days where I’m just so mentally exhausted that I “accept” what my ocd tells me and I just walk around a hollow, lethargic shell. But then I rethink it and I feel better. It feels like I can only find my TRUE self when I tire my nervous system out enough that it literally breaks down and has me suicidal and hopeless. And then accepting my OCD’s “truth” (that I’m attracted to men) feels like a burden and a chore. I woke up today from an OCD dream, tried to go back to sleep, and my stomach kept cramping bc I was so anxious and ruminating over my intrusive thoughts. I’m starting to doubt it being OCD anymore. My brain is too tired to fight and cry about it anymore.
