This disorder can be very frustrating and makes you feel like you're all alone in this world. But believe me, there's always someone, or something that makes you keep going, please don't give up, if you need a friend im here :) just remember that you're very valid and a beautiful human being!

@leoncitos I was manipulated and deceived into experimentation with an older friend (16) when I was 14... he had been saying over and over that it wasn't a homosexual act and that it wasn't gay to do it.… it nearly happened a couple times before but this time we actually did it. 20 seconds of itand I went into the bathroom gagging and just overall having a panic attack.. It was such a horrible anxiety inducing experience and my HOCD makes me think I'm in denial for this…. I had repressed it in my memories for years until HOCD had made the memory came flying back into my mind… I don't ever want to ever be homosexual or bisexual at all… in any way shape or form…

I am so sorry you are feeling so alone. OCD is a really, really hard thing to live with, and it tries to make us believe we are alone and helpless so that we can’t fight back. Trust that there are tons of us going through it alongside you. We want to listen and support however we can. I hope you can find some hope and community here 💜

@Givenup I cannot say how much I relate to your story like holy sh*t. I was also abused by a older boy. Did the same type of manipulation. And man my ocd has ran wild with this since I was a kid. I’m in my 30s now and still struggle. But I promise you it’s worth the fight. Keep going. I’m seeing results from erp and other therapies and am feeling freer than I ever have. Keep going!!! You can find your way to live with all this and start to love yourself.

You are definitely not alone. I do live the same way. All of this is too myself and I don’t share accept with my therapist. Only now I think I see the benefits of kinda sticking to myself. Many disappointing people out there I find. And opening up to them can become like a weapon they use against you. But just know you aren’t alone with this theme or ocd. Keep pushing threw and I promise you can learn to live with this.

Yea unfortunately your gf reassuring you is definitely going to make your ocd worse. The only way out is to give up looking for an answer. Witch is really difficult. I really recommend looking up some podcasts or videos on dealing with intrusive thoughts. And therapy on here if at all possible. Uncertainty is the only way. You’ll never be able to find out 100%. The search for 100% certainty is what fuels the fire.

No one is going to help me
I have OCD, but my parents don’t understand what I’m going through. All I wanted was for someone to be by my side and support me, but they dismiss my struggles, telling me to "just stop thinking" and that I’m making a big deal out of nothing. When I asked for a new therapist because my current one isn’t helping—she isn’t even an OCD specialist—they became angry and didn't believe I need therapy and instead blame me for everything. My father was so mad, he insist to gave me a knife and kill myself. He threatened to isolate me completely, cutting me off from school, the internet, and everything else. My mom cried and shut me down when I tried to explain my pain. They refuse to listen and my dad said it’s all my fault. That day they threw me outside the house for a night, and called me back in telling me to forget everything and forgive them, but I understood that I will not be able to mention anything about my mental health or seeing an OCD specialist ever again, I am completely alone now. With no financial support, and now I don’t know if I’ll ever get the proper therapy I need. I’m only 15, but it feels like I’ll be trapped in this suffering forever, I feel hopeless, I feel like shit, I am going to suffer forever with no support and help.

Just a vent
So I’m always telling people who say I’m not getting any help or advice on my post that maybe those people just don’t know what to say or they’re afraid of possibly making the situation worse… well while that is completely understandable I feel like the amount of help/advice/ interaction has went down drastically on this app.. again not complaining I’m thankful for everyone on here but I just wanted to know if others have felt the same way
