I have chosen to simply stop worrying , stressing , analyzing and preparing myself for my downfall. I know I am straight I don’t go to prove anything to myself or anyone else. I’m calling this the end of the journey cause I’m too tired of wracking my brain and creating false scenarios.
How do you stop thinking about that ?
I’m no expert and I do have moments when I slip up but I like to focus on my breathing when the intrusive thoughts , conversations and scenarios pop up.. Sometimes I listen to podcasts about HOCD and I like to remind my myself to just let them go and that I can do this. Lastly I write down my worries about anything cause I feel sometimes if I keep it all in my head I’ll explode or just go on an endless cycle! I like to exercise as well! Summary: -Focus on breathing -Let them be no matter how uncomfortable or real it feels -Listen to podcasts about HOCD ( have really good tips) -Write down how you feel if you have no one to confide in -Be active ( Get out your bed and step outside)
@Sunshinea I will try to do that
That is so wonderful 👏🏽👏🏽 good for you!!
Can this also apply to ROCD?
I want to beat OCD because I have seen and felt the benefits of clearing my brain from unnecessary, pointless, thoughts. OCD is like 0 calorie food. It’s pointless. No nutrition or benefits come from my obsessions or compulsions. I don’t care to have answers to everything anymore. I catch myself just trying to stress myself out so that I have some worry to feed on. But like I said, it’s a 0 calorie food. I get nothing from it but wasted time and energy. My brain feels more spacious when I’m not consumed by OCD. I’m present. My personality has room to be herself without making space for bullshit. I tell myself now that worry is poison. I think Willie Nelson was the person I got that quote from? Anyways, that imagery of worries being poison for the mind has been transformative for me. I’m evolving. 💖 Thanks NOCD community.
I just can’t do this shit anymore.im tired of these “arousal” sensations that feel real but when I go check my arousal to the same gender I just get anxiety. I’m tired of feeling like I can’t like girls anymore. I’m tired of my arousal getting blocked every now and then because I’m anxious. I’m tired of not knowing who I am anymore. I’m tired of having my mind putting me into an identity I never asked for. I’m tired of this life
I won’t explain this again if you’ve been or going through it you know what I’m talking about. I felt good about women about an hour ago and now I’m worrying again I’m anxious and the groinals are back and it’s so annoying because I can’t study. And honestly I’m so sick and tired of this. I’ve been a girl crazy my whole life and my mind randomly decides “well what if you are gay” like bro. I’ve never seen a guy that way and in general IT WAS NEVER SOMETHING I THOUGHT ABOUT OR ASSOCIATED MYSELF WITH. IVE NEVER FELT ANYTHING TOWARDS A MAN AND NOW IT FEELS LIKE IT RANDOMLY FLIPPED. I CANT DO THIS BRO. WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN IVE BEEN GOING THROUGH INSECURITIES ALREADY AND MY ATTRACTION WAS THE ONLY REAL THING I HAD LEFT AND NOW THIS. HOW MUCH DO YOU HATE ME GOD.
