Thoughts.

Yes I find one of my boyfriends friend attractive. Do I think of him a lot? No. Do i wanna be with him? No. But when he gets mentioned I get scared. I get scared I’ll end up having a crush on him. I try to not look at his account out of fear I’ll end up liking him. Someone mentioned he went to a girls house and I think I felt kinda jealous and I was like why would I? And I’m scared now. I don’t wanna have a crush on this boy. I’m scared I will. It feels wrong I don’t want to I just wanna be with my boyfriend. My minds trying to tell me that I do like his friend and I don’t wanna and it feels like I do but I don’t want to :/

Try to be Comfortable with not knowing what will happen, and don’t worry or fight it. The struggle is what makes the OCD stronger. Accept you don’t know what will happen , wait it out without struggle , and you will see that you are fine.

Thoughts are just thoughts. You can have the thought “ I want to hit this person” and it doesn’t mean you actually want to do it Thoughts are not actions. And also, the thought causes distress. Which shows that you don’t even want the thought. I’m also sure you didn’t truly get jealous. Your brain made you feel as if you are because you were already struggling with the intrusive thoughts. Our minds can be a scary place. Focus on your actions.

I can’t relate to this specific obsession, but you’re describing exactly how I feel about gender and idea of transitioning. You’re not alone.

This is my exact ocd...I keep hurting my husband's feelings by confessing crushes or flirting instances or being to close to someone over and over and seeking reassurance...I think these feelings are just natural and it's what we actively think and do that matters...I've been beating myself up so bad for a crush, or flirting, or being too close to someone even though I didn't do anything to try to pursue a relationship bc I've always adored and only wanted to be with my husband....I just ruminate and try to find answers for why this and that...I'm trying to just sit with the doubt but it's hard

What should I do ?

Last night I was at a party and my friend that I like was here and I idk but I think I really do have a crush on him but I mean it’s not a problem it’s not my fault I can’t help that stuff but basically we stayed up late and we both ended up falling asleep and I slept on his shoulder…. Idk what to do I love my boyfriend sooo much but I feel like I’m « falling for someone else » but I don’t wanna leave my boyfriend like 4 days ago I felt really really in love with me I was picturing myself with his baby but when I see my friend I feel attracted I don’t know what to do. My boyfriend is everything for me i don’t wanna risk it all for someone else idk what to do when I see my friend I wanna kiss him but I don’t do it obviously because I’m in a relationship that makes me happy and again I love my boyfriend. I think my ocd probably makes it a bigger deal then it is but maybe it’s not ocd this time idk

Scared

I’ve been in a relationship for two years. I feel super guilty. Today I sat with my friend and the guy she’s talking to in lunch. The guy was looking at me like into my eyes and I feel like it made me nervous and I was like what the hell why did it make me nervous does it mean I like the guy? I don’t want to. I only want to love my boyfriend. So yeah I feel guilty because why did I feel guilty :/ I wanna tell my bf but it’s obviously gonna hurt him i don’t wanna have a crush on my friends crush the guy she’s talking to. Plus they’re really cute together. I feel like I’m seeking reassurance I really just wanna hear that it doesn’t mean anything and that it means I don’t like him that it just happens.

I keep getting anxiety about this one friend

I am a 17 year old male. I am friends with this one girl (same age). We've known each other for about a year. And I've never really thought about her romantically minus a few thoughts here and there. And they always give me intense anxiety because I don't like her like that and I know she doesn't like me like that. But these thoughts persist and it freaks me out. What if I actually do like her? Like one, she's one of my friends, two I know I don't like her like that and don't want to. And 3 I'm interested in someone else right now. And any time she looks pretty i say to myself she's cute or pretty and then immediately freak out because it feels weird even though noticing that isn't bad necessarily. You can think someone is pretty platonically. But like it still gives me anxiety. Help!
