What happens when you start to heal from your principal theme, is that your ocd tells you: ☆ well maybe you are lying. You are just faking it. And anything has any meaning at all anymore. And bla bla bla, Im going to make your life miserable because you can't choose anything bla bla bla ☆ And to that, just answer: okay, whatever you say. You are not real. Not me. Just a thought. I can get through this. I can distract myself. This is not important at all. Everything doesn't need a why or an answer. Things just are, I like what I like, I don't need to ask myself all the time, I don't need to know to feel better. I don't need this. And with soooome time it will go away. Is not easy, but you can do it. That is erp. Because that feeling or that thought "Im lying to myself", is your anxiety disorder telling you that you have to start to obsses about this, so you can protect yourself from your fears :)

Anxiety has a lot of forms. You have adequate to a thought that is always in your head. That doesn't mean anything else. Your brain get used to that like every other thought you have everyday. The anxiety dissapearing means you are starting to heal because if you (re)learn to don't panic at your trauma you also don't give meaning to it. No compulsion. No rumination. Break the ocd cycle. And you will not think in your obsession so much, to a point that in a not long future you'll be fine again with it.

Hocd is literally a clown in my head.
Like I can’t think straight. This is making me doubt everything I’ve thought about myself and even makes me feel like I like the thoughts when I know I don’t. Like I would be less anxious at a time while I still have the thoughts and my mind would go “oh so you like it you must be gay” or the other one where I’m not anxious and I think of my attraction for girls that I’ve had my whole life and my mind goes “see now you’re not into them you’re gay” like it’s so stupid but so effective. I clearly remember being into girls my whole life but my mind is making me believe that all these attractions and feelings for women were all fake or “a thing of the past”. But I can still get aroused by women but I have this weird anxiety going on which brings these sensations/feelings and it’s so weird. Today I’ve spent my whole day thinking about it like I’ve been doing for 5 months now. I know that this aint normal but my mind just won’t let me live in peace. I never cared about my sexuality cuz I simply liked women my whole life but now my sexuality is a fundamental philosophy. I hate 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..

OCD recovery
I think I’m in the recovery stage as my thoughts have settled so much & I only get intrusive thoughts on occasion and get worse only when I’m anxious, but the quietness in my brain feels so weird & I feel awful saying that because all I wanted was the thoughts to stop. This is the most quiet it’s been it’s over 7 months, so to go from non stop thoughts for a long time to quietness I don’t know how to take it. Has anyone else felt like this in recovery
