I say give it a go you want be worried about certain things and the anxiety goes down . You can kinda get forward with your life with just starting . Not easy and nobody wants to sit through it but what else do you have to try ?

Until you expose yourself to it and accept the thoughts your gonna be stuck . Accepting the thoughts dosnt mean you are . You’ve can believe something so much to where you start to believe you are . I thought at one time I was gonna die every day and i told myself I was sick . So I started to believe it and my mind made me feel sick . Go to the dr and they tell me nothings wrong but I still didn’t believe them . Ocd and anxiety works like that . Not giving any reassurance just trying to give some insight

I feel you bro I’m married two boys , and feel the exact same way . I had to tell my wife because I had no one else to talk to. She understands it’s not the first time this has happened. I have days where I feel great and I’m living and the thought will pop up and I’m down but erp has definitely made it easier on me some . I’ve tried to just brush it off and live my life and that helps sometimes but the thoughts are there . Past three days have been though

Yea my wife is ok with it . She tells me to take my time and get better . I still question tho how she can deal with but she knows how I am with anxiety and stuff . I thought about just telling her and the kids hey I’m just gay and thinking that would make it all go away and I’ll come out and I’ll never feel this way again but I sit back analyze it and I’m like that sounds ridiculous. So I’m supposed to drop my whole marriage and go be with somebody I don’t want to be with ? Like why do I deal with this and why is it such a big deal to me . It’s hard

I know I fully understand where you are coming from it doesn’t make any sense to drop your family for stupid thoughts although they feel so real but I guess it wouldn’t be ocd if if didn’t feel real

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.

I’ve been dealing with SOOCD for over a year now, and I have been having a very hard day today. I feel like I just need someone to talk too, my whole life I’ve always had girl crushes and always wanted to be romantic with women . Ever since I posted this picture on instagram and one person said I looked “zesty” in it , which is when I started obsessing about being gay . I feel like I put so much meaning to these thoughts where now I’m always checking how I feeling around men. I had a really bad porn addiction for a long time and bad anxiety which fucked up my sex drive. I feel like I doubt if I’m attracted to women when I know I am , but the doubt is so overbearing where I start to believe it . I never was interested in men sexually, and my ocd makes me feel like I like the thoughts even though I feel no pleasure out of it. I feel like I lost who I am as a person . It feels like I don’t even know what my sexuality is and it’s really upsetting to me . I meant this girl the other day and she is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met and I just feel like ocd is getting in the way😭😭😭 please any advice or comments
