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?
