I’m struggling right now with a thought and the thought is “ what’s stopping you from hurting your loved ones” which really bothers me because I feel confused and I don’t want to be I want to be certain not to do or give into the thought . Idk what to do or think anymore
I could have written this post. My OCD thoughts say the same thing. To me, it’s an incredibly difficult thing to accept uncertainty. ERP is so very hard but I’m told if we stick with it, it will get better. Strength to you!
I feel you. It's so scary. Do you have therapy support?

I struggle with HOCD or SOOCD. I’m a married young woman to an amazing husband. I’ve had this since I was 16 but it only came in flair ups. However this round started in October, and it’s been really rough and I would just break down all the time. I went up on my medication and I actually noticed a difference! My thoughts were still very present but I wasn’t really paying attention to them or giving them power. HOWEVER right when I thought I was getting better, my brain started feeling and saying to myself that I just know I am bi but you want to make excuses for it like “oh it’s normal to find someone hot since we as a society have an interpretation of what that looks like” or “I see the girl as myself and that’s what ‘turns’ me on” or “well I mean that girl looks kind of like a man” and it’s it’s making me spiral. I won’t ever come out as Bi as deep in my soul I don’t feel I am. I have always wanted to be with men sexually and romantically and that has not changed but my brain is making me believe I am and I just don’t want to admit it. Please help me, what has helped you?
