I know. Your OCD is spotlighting all the potential threats so you are noticing all the people/girls you never would think about before. Try to let the thoughts come and go. But yay you made it through the day!

But you made it anyways. You don’t have to justify the thoughts, they are not justifiable because they are not you! Just let them be there. I know it’s hard but you did it!

Take some breaths and try to relax as best you can. You are stronger than you know

Ok. So I’m in school and thoughts have come weirdly. Like there are new people and I was constantly questioning “what if I’m attracted to her” all the time, to all of them. It’s like I hate the fact that I these things are even going through my mind in the first place. I kept wondering “why if later on I never get my attraction back and date women” I don’t want to. I want to go back to how it was, without constantly questioning

You will. It’ll just take time. Let the thoughts come and go with assigning them meaning. Let it happen. Also, remember that even though you are having thoughts, you are surviving and continuing on with your day!

It’s hard. A school psychologist saw me and hugged me because I just missed 2 weeks of school because of traveling and I could get the “what if I’m attracted to her” out of my head. It’s like even with my band teacher, he is a wife, so I try to see if I’m attracted to him and boom “what if I’m attracted to the wife” which I have never even met before. It’s so frustrating. Now it’s like I’m attracted to every single girl I see. The usual girls I didn’t feel anything with it’s just bringing back up for some reason that I might be attracted to them. Even the ones I find ugly. It’s soo frustrating

It was hard. I was in English and while everyone was taking a test (I wasn’t because this was my first day back) I realized I am not attracted to girls. But I am not exactly related to guys either, so that’s why I am constantly being told “you don’t like guys anymore? Well, GAY” and it feels real. Like it’s telling me I’m attracted to all my female teachers it’s just so frustrating. I saw a that there was going to be a student blog and al I could think about was “what if I saw I’m gay there, would people be fine with me” when I’m not even done with that. It’s like I wonder what would everyone think of if I told them I was gay, I don’t even know. And I thought, “how am I so sure I have had no crush on a girl before, you don’t know how that would feel like” And it’s frustrating. It feels REAL. It was so hard to let them go. I just saw the guy I thought I liked that I don’t anymore. It’s like I can’t imagine my future without the word gay anymore. It feels so real. I had the urge to cry the whole day. Like I hate the fact I even have to justify these thoughts, that I even have this thoughts in the first place. I just felt so anxious the whole day

I've just started dating this really great girl. She doesn't know about my ocd which is fine but I've noticed that a lot of my intrusive thoughts and worries about not following routines now revolve around losing her or her believing I'm a bad person. I just don't want this relationship to make me so paranoid. I also know have this where if I see a girl on my Instagram or on the Internet, I'll feel an overwhelming urge to clean myself and the device I viewed it on. This is part of a moral reaction and I also worry I'm not being loyal. I feel I should try and not follow through with these compulsions but as they now revolve around keeping my girlfriend I'm not sure. Any advice?

Hey guys, I hope you’re well! My names Matt, and OCD has struck me again 😂 When I was 10 years old I had to attend therapy as I was having excessive intrusive thoughts. P.s. I didn’t even know this was possible at the age of 10! I then completely forgot about it, until 2.5 years ago when I started experiencing ROCD. I really couldn’t understand why I was feeling/thinking this way however, I soon after remembered my struggles as a child and then realised my OCD had returned. Also, my mum has serious OCD so I guess that could be why too. I had a a really hard battle with my emotions and mood due to this however, the last 1.5 years had been really good and I managed it well. I got married and had the best day of my life. 3 months ago, a thought about having an affair in my head appeared, and BOOM, it’s back again. I’m struggling a lot right now however, I’ve accepted that this could be a re occurring theme throughout my life, and it’s time to learn to deal with it again. I’m back on medication and have started ERP therapy, so hopefully it’s on the up from here. I’m not here to list off my triggers and thoughts as this would be me seeking reassurance however, I’m here to show that recovery is certainly possible!

Hi I kept seeing this app on repeat on TikTok over and over and I thought I give it a shot. I have never been diagnosed with OCD but I know that I have it. I’m a young adult and I found out the first time I had OCD was watching lelelons truth video? I was 14 at the time She had to resist sitting back down in a chair after her having sat down she started having a mental break down when she was told to resist. That’s when I knew. It started with myself going up and down a staircase twice buckling unbuckling my seat belt everytime I’m in the car ect I have always been super anti social but trying my best I can socialize but my mind wants to make it sexual with family and friends ughhhh I hate it because that’s not me when I graduated thoughts of hurting my loved ones corrupted my mind I broke down outside of church one time asking if this was really me or not i question if I’m a good enough friend or person in this world to begin with thinking everyone is judging me so so close how can I make this situation better did I do something wrong I struggle with depression as well not to bad but it’s there I come from a loving family but broken as well i believe in god and my OCD makes me go often he’s not real that stuff isn’t real no one is there to save you the list goes on. Anyway I struggle a lot and I really hope that this will help me because I feel extremely hopeless. Lucky for me I do have the ability to seek therapy and I am excited. The only person I ever tell my thoughts to is God no other human has heard so I’m really really hoping this helps me out if your reading this thank you it means a lot because this is my first time ever admitting all this it’s a lot to take in I know and I hope you are ok and that you have a great night and know that we got this
