I noticed that even when looking at a guy I like or am extremely attracted to. My pupil doesn’t get big which it’s supposed to when your attracted to someone. It makes me worry it dilated when looking at what I don’t like and makes me feel very depressed. I’ve been dealing with this since I was 17 in my 30s now I don’t know if I’ll ever fix this. Anyone else feel this or notice their eyes doing this or the reason for it
Thank you for sharing this- people with OCD sometimes can get very caught up in bodily functions- such as whether a eye dilates or not- the key here would be to avoid checking your eyes and sit with the feeling/thoughts that maybe you are not attracted to that person and ...then what? Allow the uncertainty. Will you ever have enough certainty for OCD? Nope. So the bigger issue is allowing yourself to feel uncomfortable and that is the worst that will happen. If you haven't already please call for a free 15 minute call at NOCD and see if we can help you! Many people get so much better!
It feels like I’m lying to myself constantly and everyone. There feels like there is a weight on my heart from the moment I wake up till I go to sleep. I don’t want to be gay. Idk why it doesn’t register. Now everyone I see I have to see if I’m attracted to them. I see good looking men and I feel like I’m lying to myself that they are good looking, I see women and I see if im attracted to them. I look at everyone and I feel jealous. I want my fucking life back. But now my OCD (if this is even OCD) is telling me I was never happy and I was always suppressing my feelings of being gay. Why is this happening? Can OCD do this? I can’t enjoy anything ever.
What’s your experience on: Losing opposite gender attraction? And, False attraction to same gender? I have both and I feel like I don’t know who I am. I can’t parent or be a husband due to the mass panic and anxiety. Just wanted to know if anyone has had both and regained theirself?
Hi everyone, I suffer from a really embarrassing form of ocd and it’s one of the worst ones-staring ocd. I quit my job last year because of it and I’m going back to work next week and I need some tips as my job is very customer forward. I have really bad anxiety around people wearing anything that shows their stomach or cleavage. My ocd always fears I’m going to look at the wrong places and it even goes to their movements randomly and makes me look like a weirdo because my eye darts to their hands. It’s gotten so bad it’s become a habit and now my eye instantly goes to those areas. It’s very frustrating and it’s ruining my social life. Please no judgement, I know it’s a weird form and I wish I never developed it. Any help is appreciated.
