I don't know where your at in your OCD journey- but I will say that as a therapist I hear this a lot. Sometimes when people are getting better through ERP or medication they will say this, because the anxiety has lessened so much that it feels more real. Remember OCD is all about doubt- doubting yourself in this case- you said it feels like....feelings can be misleading- OCD inserts doubt into feelings- try and sit in the maybes. Maybe you want whatever it is, maybe you don't but you can cross that bridge when and if you ever get there. Hope this helps.

Thankyou for your reply, I had my second session with nocd therapist yesterday, mainly assessing but will be putting things into place in the upcoming weeks, I haven't done ERP yet. I have a girlfriend and a baby, so I think it's just alot of pressure on me, I thought everything was great until this started and now I don't know if I can carry on in the relationship.

Pls answer i beg yall
So recently my mind is trying to make me feel like I accept the thoughts, like I'm ok with for example loving X person. After I get a thought like that and I realize it I get anxious and, like right now, I cry for 1 hour+ on the bathroom floor. I feel exhausted and I want to know if I'm the only one having this.

Feels so real
I don’t know if it’s SOOCD. I no longer feel anxious in the moment when I think about women, and it’s like my imagination wants me to think about it and get aroused. I don’t want to be gay, but maybe I am after all. In my life I haven’t been so sexually driven before (when I was living with a man, or when being single) but now all I can think about is having sex with a woman. I don’t want to, but somehow my body does and it feels like my mind have changed to accept it to.. feel so sad This all started around 4 weeks ago..

hocd
I don’t know what to do anymore, this started nearly a year ago and caused so much stress and panic attacks over the thought of loosing my boyfriend. Now it just feels real and that he always liked girls and suppressed it (but like the boys i always liked in the past were real feelings they had to be and with my boyfriend i love him) but i haven’t got much anxiety now feels like i want the thoughts and that they don’t bother me even tho they used to, this seems to happen every time i get a lil better, idk just feels so true and that’s what i acc want with no stress, just a lil scared.
