That’s all just gender stereotyping. I always got stuck on being a woman with large feet as if that said something about my sexual preferences. Sexual preference isn’t as superficial as how you look/dress/act, it’s how you feel inside and then act on that. Sorry if that is too reassuring for this chat😂 you could be bi, who cares if you are.
Im not bi , lol im a 22 year old male whos only ever been with women and never had thoughts like this until 6 1/2 months ago from something . My sexuality changing not possible
I’ve been dealing with that too where out of the blue after being intimate with my husband, something didn’t feel right and I started questioning my sexuality out of the blue and every time I convinced myself “im straight” my mind keeps making me have doubts and I have never questioned myself all my life and im in my 30s. Im talking to someone about it now, but like you it has been making me uncomfortable and I get very scared and it makes me physically ill having these intrusive thoughts since August
I really hope you recover from this ! :( . This all happened to me bc of porn, i literally over thought what i finished to and next thing i know im freaking out for 3 months straight then it started to calm down and it got scary bc i felt like it was true. (Im sorry im embarrassed bc im talking about somethings) i could go all day with how i felt and feel now and my mind will never accept logic
That’s how it started with me and unfortunately I was pregnant and cause I’m still in recovery from delivering my son 10 months ago
Its really hard right now, i keep talking to my girlfriend about this and she cant help me , :( sometimes i say to myself can it be true so i can stop with the ocd stuff but in reality that wont happen. Ill either end up in a different theme or just be stuck on this forever. Happy late congrats on the new born ! But keep fighting through it :). You got this, that baby can be your motivation
Yes and thankfully I’ve got a supporting husband that has done his own research on ocd and postpartum stuff
Any advice i should give to my girlfriend with helping me with soocd ?
Just make sure she’s there to listen and hold your hand. If you’ve been using soothing techniques, tell her what they are, show her what to do so that way if the intrusive thoughts come back, she can work with you through it and she can be your reassurance
Thankyou !
It also helps knowing if she knows you well enough to know who you truly are. I’ve known my husband for 10 years and have been married for 5.5 years so he knows me very well to know who I am and that I am attracted to him and not women
We went to high-school together but never talked but she had a crush on me. But weve been around each other for almost 4 years now, i think she knows me well enough
I’m glad to hear that
i had recently been triggered to have so-ocd. its been on my mind non-stop. (i am a heterosexual female) and my mind has been all over the place questioning if i have been in denial the entire time. ive always had people tell me they sort of got that vibe it it never really affected me until my own mother had her suspicions. so i would constantly get triggered un public around the same gender, while knowing my true sexuality. ive always been attracted to men but as of recently ive been having super bad anxiety to where i cannot eat or sleep and feel weak all the time. it was like that for a week or so. now im in the calm where i have been trying accept the uncertainty but it still isnt fair as im getting triggered. im a little worried because it feels like i have been lying to my parents the entire time although ive never had the desire to be with the same gender. and i keep getting intrusive thoguhts that make me feel anxious and uncomfortable. its all starting to affect my friendships as im constantly getting triggered with the intrusive thoguhts. i feel a little less anxious compared to how i was a couple days ago. im really scared on why im having these thoughts now when i have been having romantic feelings for a guy the past year or so. ive also been struggling with false attraction and loss attraction to men. it makes me feel uncertain of my life the entire time
i have had intense thoughts and fears about being gay today and i have been sick to my stomach. it just stopped and now im scared im accepting it and im not freaking out. i feel like im okay with it. I AM NOT OKAY WITH BEING GAY.
Today I woke up and immediately was flooded with intrusive thoughts. I was thinking about how I want to remembered when my time on earth is finished. I want to be remembered by my kindness and my heart. I want to be remembered by the lives i’ve changed. But then it hit me. What if you want to be a girl? What if you’re just telling yourself you don’t want to be a girl? I shouldn’t be scared, my family would love me no matter what I was. But this.. This is taking its toll on me. People call me maam all the time. I have feminine features and qualities.. It makes me question everything I know about my life. But I think what makes it worse is that i’m scared but don’t feel scared? Like I don’t feel intense fear like I once did. I know that I don’t want to be a girl. I don’t want boobs or long hair and nails. I have feminine qualities but I just exist. And this morning it’s hitting me very hard. I hate TOCD. I hate that I can’t just have one moment of peace. That it finds ways to seep into my life by finding areas i’m weakest in. I read other people’s stories and kinda do checking with it. And to make it all worse my for you page is FILLED with trans tiktok’s and peoples experiences. It’s making me mad. Why can’t I just be happy? Like everyone else in my house? Why did I inherit this stupid fucking disorder? And why do I question everything single thing about myself. First it was fear I was going to hurt someone and be a monster. And now it’s fucking thoughts of me wanting to be a girl?? Anyways have a nice day guys.
