Scared
I just googled something about sexuality and got triggers now I’m anxiety 🙁
I just googled something about sexuality and got triggers now I’m anxiety 🙁
I've diagnosed with OCD and google is the worse thing to my OCD , i was sensitive about my vegina and genital area because of OCD because i searched and i thought i might have PGAD(persistent genital arousal disorder) it was all in my mind( what i have realised after taking my sertraline pills) nothing was real it was all in my brain and now i searched and read about different sexualities and transgenders and now i am thinking i might be a transgender or Lesbian but i don't want to be a part of LGBT community , i don't want to be i want to be straight and i want to get sure that i am straight, these thoughts are like brain storrrrrm, i can not focus on anything at all
Trust me I know. It's really scary and confusing. My advice advoid avoiding and try to not compulse. Researching only takes you deeper into the rabit hole of doom. Now ocd is a ego dystonic disorder this means it goes against us
Believe me I know the pain and mass confusion , it will be okay and it will pass <3
@Sp1999 Thanks for your advice it will realy help me, i know it passes i have really bad experiences of OCD, but it hurts to pass huh? I do not told my parents i have thses thoughts and i am ashamed to tell but they are aware that i have OCD thoughts i just tell them i need therapy, they told me that they can take me to theraphy in 1 month or at least 3 weeks but not right now(busy busy busy busy mom and dad) what should i do with this thoughts till then? Will them disappear by their own or i should visit therapist immediately?
@Fatima2002 have you tried to schedule a therapist through this app?
@Fatima2002 Id try to get in touch with an ocd specialist or just try to do self recovery
@xenon I am from western asia , yeah i have tried going to therapy but not scheduled traphy on this app, 2 years ago i had scheduled teraphy and it was really affective for me, my OCD thoughts were fully gone
@Sp1999 I csn not get in touch with therapist in the next 2 weeks, so i would try self recovery, maybe avoiding my phone, social media and explore apps, trying to distract my mind
@Fatima2002 hey fatima i see that you messaged someoem some of your self-recovery techniques and i think you are going to beat ocd with the way you’re going ! if i may give some advice please don’t avoid triggering scenarios since doing so is a compulsion. try to deliberately engage in something would make you uncomfortable but not put you over the edge and once you’re triggered try erp by saying “maybe im gay, maybe im not.”
@xenon I think it might be a good way, i remeber my therapist was doing a stronger level of it , not only by saying "maybe i am or maybe i'm not" but saying"yes i am so what?" My last experience wasn't HOCD i was sensitive about getting sick or being sick, once i told my therapist i got this symtoms so i got brain tumor and she said yes you got so what? And in every situation she taught me to say "so, what" or "whatever" she tells thinking will not change your life, thinking being someone won't make you be that one or thinking about something is not doing it, i'm trying to help myself with this phrases and distracting myself also stop searching about sexualities , when ever i want to scroll down i come here or search about OCD but not too much, my thoughts are really wild right now(as my therapist used to say) she said OCD thoughts are like wild animals you can not calm they down by talking or giving attention you should just ignore them as you can
Are you anxiety?

@mike999w Just joking bro, hopefully you will conquer this shit!
Just know google is our worst enemy . I can take a guess as to what you saw
I was looking up stuff about kinks, because my friend is trying to help me "get out there", and I took the bdsm test to see where I land on it. I got 100% vanilla, and I was a little embarassed so I decided to Google things like "is it normal to not have a lot of kinks" or "what % of the population is into kink" and when I scrolled down a bit, I clicked on one of the little suggestion things with the arrow that said "are men more prone to enjoying kink than women" and it revealed a blurb from the website that said that men are in fact more inclined to kink, but also mentioned that it also means they're more inclined to p*dophellia, which sort of set off all these questions in my head of like "Wait so if p*dophellia is just a kink, does that make it more likely that I have it? Because scientenists still don't know what causes it so what if events in my childhood led up to me having it to some extent" and I started kind of going down this internal rabbit hole of trying to figure out how likely it is that I have it or some form of it bc if it's just a kink and not a mental illness than it feels more feasible? Idk I'm a woman so ik it's not AS common in us but it's still possible. I'm doing a little better with redirecting my attention and cooling my anxiety but I had an onslaught of intrusive images before falling asleep like I used to have when I first started experiencing this fear. It's been really catapulting me back to the beginning and I find that I'm ruminating on when it started and if it really means I'm a p or not. I know it's classic ocd but it's hard when it doesn't feel that way ;-; anyway, I'm too scared to Google bc i know it'll be a form of reassurance but also I'm just scared of having anything related to that in my search history so I just thought I'd post here. Anyone else have conflicting thoughts like this?
I’m having hitman ocd thoughts and I feel like I’m gunna google how to hire a hitman UGH so it feels like I’m gunna type that and I can’t use google so as erp I’m using google but this is fucked
‼️Sexual Content‼️ I have a new fear that I have a paraphiliac disorder and google says that people who do have these disorders experience distress about them which scares me so bad because I feel distressed about the potential of having one so isn’t that like the same thing? I’m scared that I already have one, and the distress I’m experiencing isn’t OCD but instead a side effect of being paraphiliac. I hate this Also what’s even worse is that I don’t even feel that anxious. Like yes I am anxious but not as much as I feel like I should be and I’m relatively calm. I feel like I should be more anxious for it to be OCD and I should be more anxious when faced with the threat of being paraphiliac and even though I am anxious, it’s no where near as bad as it should be or has been in the past. What does that say about me? (I don’t want reassurance, all I want is advice to help me cope through OCD spikes) I’m so scared. I don’t want any of this. I don’t want to do paraphiliac things I don’t want to do anything that they do because those things make me uncomfortable but I feel like that’s what someone with a paraphiliac disorder would say. I am so f*cked
