I can guarantee that personality test did nothing to take into account users with OCD. But that’s me reassuring you, which will help you feel relief temporarily but not actually help you recover. Why did you take a personality test? At the time did you recognize that this was another test/compulsion? I suggest sitting with the discomfort without trying to explain it or counteract it until the anxiety naturally dissipates. If it comes back: do it again. As they say, if you’re anxious: it’s working.
I feel you. My ocd loves to make metaphors, so i was gonna watch wreck it Ralph because it couldn’t POSSIBLY have anything to do with my ocd but it was all about hating being seen as a bad guy, being a good guy inside and wanting to change how people see you. That made me see all these similarities with him being trans or something and “breaking free”
It feels as if my reassurance is what this “emphasizing” means. And that all my constant questioning means something. I am so scared
This made me kinda of anxious not gonna lie lol. But don't listen to those tests, the people behind them just wanna waste their time
It was just this and I thought it was interesting. I had no idea it could relate in any way to my ocd. But surprisingly it did. In both ways. Which completely freaked me out. I just don’t know who I am anymore
Ocd is ridiculous
Ughh that’s really scary. Maybe I only liked being a girl because I was pretending i do
I feel both of you on this. I hate when things that are just supposed to be “fun” end up becoming triggers. I guess at this point it’s a matter of how you look at it: is this a bad thing that happened that just confirms how bad you feel OR is it a new opportunity for exposure? If you believe the latter, take time to turn this scenario it’s an exposure exercise and use it. You’ll actually be helping yourself heal in the long run.
i’m watching a youtube video on being bisexual and i’m freaking out omg. this is giving me so much anxiety. she’s saying stuff like “yea i never wanted to kiss a girl or have a relationship with a girl; i just always thought they were pretty” , “for all my life i was attracted to guys and always wanted a boyfriend” and stuff like that. i’m freaking out so much because it sounds A LOT like me. i’ve never seen a girl in that way until my HOCD hit and i’ve ALWAYS loved guys from the time i was little. now i’m doubting everything again. so many things are going on in my mind rn and i’m so confused
I took an online quiz about if I’m straight or in denial and the results came out as gay/bi. I guess it’s time to accept it, despite not feeling it ??♀️
I tried to do exposure by reading lesbian experiences, especially women who discovered late in life that they are lesbians, but I'm too triggered now. I'm crying and I'm having panic attacks. Also I've been obsessing a lot since Friday and yesterday I tested myself by looking at pictures of Maddy the euphoria's character and I felt a sort of attraction I don't know. I'm so tired, I can't live like this anymore.
