Attraction
Idk if this makes sense but I feel like there’s a mental barrier that prevents me from feeling attraction. Like every time I see someone attractive my mind rejects it and is like “no you don’t” 🤡

It could be stress and background obsession over the topic holding you back from feeling anything. I had this issue too until icy therapist told me, “This is the same for everything else that you’ll have to accept: maybe you’ll never feel attraction again and maybe you will. But obsessing over it will not bring it back. You need to let go.”
@Nica This really helps, I’m going to try that. Thank you! 😭
@blazed You’re welcome!
Same lol and I have a girlfriend it’s rough , when your mind tells you you don’t “ just be like okay you right “ lol
@jzepedaa7 Yes! I do this and it works, slowly but surely 🥲
@blazed Of course don’t think of it as getting better imediately , think about it as everyday 1 percent better and in 100 days you’ll be good you get me
@blazed I feel like hocd and rocd go hand in hand cause it makes you doubt your relationship also so I just approach all negative thoughts about my girl the same
@jzepedaa7 Definitely! I can imagine having both themes are really difficult. Especially when it’s about someone you love, it’s the worst
@blazed Yup we just gotta be stronger then the average human being but we aren’t crazy or aliens we were just born with a mental illness that is very hard to understand, it’s called the doubt disease for a reason but it makes us stronger at the end of the day . Just think about it the fact we haven’t gave up the fight shows the courage we have
Yeah somtimes. It gets tough because I want to talk to this girl and thoughts pop in and it sometimes feel like I don’t like girls but it’s bluff and bs
@GSR Exactly you got the right idea .it really is all bs even if it seems real as can be sometimes that’s why I don’t listen to it and try my best to not pay attention even though it is hard
@GSR For me I realize the thoughts are bs at least just I still think they are annoying for being there you get me it’s like I know you not real already but let me be in peace lol
Yeah man. Shits tough but better Forsure tho. Right now it’s just getting my confidence back with girls and some times it’s like it’s so tough but I’m reading books and learning getting confidence and eating better I want my life back Forsure
@GSR You’re on the right track! I’ve been doing the same and it’s getting better, I’m no longer anxious about it.
Yeah. To tel you the truth I have always struggled with relationships it’s just the matter of talking to them and stuff it’s okay I will get stronger. I feel like once I keep doing it imma get that confidence back. I’m able to play soccer now I missed it and I’m getting used to it now.
Somtimes “I’m gay pops up too bro” and my head turns hot but it’s triggering anxiety. Yeah sleeping and doing stuff more better I still have urges but working on it.
We got it
Omg i thought im the only one. 😦😦
@ninkaninga Yes brooo
Im hella better now im doing with other themes lol
