Recovery Question?? Can I assume OCD?

@blazed yes it’s so weird it doesnt feel like ocd but ik logically nothing about me has actually changed. i watched a lot of coming out vids as erp so i think my ocd has been mimicing that

@Anonymous I feel the exact same way. I actually read some coming out stories earlier today but I’m just confused now. It’s so hard to tell the difference between reality and the OCD thoughts.

@blazed it feels so certain n what bothers me is as u get better obvi anxiety goes down n ppl are like “well if its ocd u wont like it etc u may realize u are different later” etc n im like u wouldnt say this if i had harm ocd etc

@Anonymous That’s so true I hear it all the time 😭 I mean you could realize it in the future but hearing that is triggering especially when it comes to SO-OCD

@blazed right especially when im at that stage of recovery where my ocd has clung to that. i think imma just say i wanna be uncertain no matter bc i have ocd n its gonna cling one way or another LOL i just wanted to see if anybody else feels that way! im glad im not the only one!

@Anonymous You’re not alone! My OCD is so attached to it too and I’m terrified but there’s no around it so might as well accept it 🫠 it’s annoying

@blazed yes it is!!! esp when im not anxious im like overly skeptical of it n it must be “real” then. the advice ive gotten is so shitty bc its like how r u gonna tell me to be uncertain n then tell me the difference between ocd and then my orientation changing fr? why cant i be uncertain like everyone else lol

@Anonymous SAME whenever I’m feeling better my mind automatically thinks that it’s true. That advice makes my mind blurry but I just go with it because fighting the thoughts makes it worse

@blazed yea tbh im just gonna be unlabeled n uncertain bc ive done this so many times if im wrong than im wrong but it feels so real every time n then what yk lol. if other themes get to be uncertain always so do we. we never have to figure out our orientations!

@Anonymous Omg you’re literally me lol I made a post a while ago about being unlabelled. But I just have this urge to figure it out rn. You’re right tho, ours is uncertain!
