SO OCD QUESTION
Has anyone in their experience fixated on one person as if they’ve had a crush on them ?

Yes! This still bugs me even after therapy but I am able to disregard it. This is what OCD terrorized me with the most but I’ve been able to recover. Surprisingly, this is more normal than you think. I hope you’re getting the help you need and know you are not alone:)

@malsaipe This one is very difficult. For the person you were fixated on, Did you ever have thoughts and feelings of you looking forward or wanting to be around this person? But also scared because it is just proof of your denial?

@Anonymous And the fact that I don’t want to do any avoidance makes me feel like I truly do have a crush

@Anonymous Yes… every single day. I found comfort in this person but OCD had me convinced I was in love with her and many more terrifying thoughts.

Same thing happens to me. There’s one guy that my SO OCD just loves to latch onto for some reason. It’s bothering me less and less the more times it happens and the more I don’t do compulsions when the exposures come up.

@Anonymous OCD can make you feel/believe/DOUBT anything. The brain is a powerful thing. My advice to you is follow your values and follow what makes you feel good. Not what makes you feel icky. Try to sit with the thoughts as they arise but don’t do anything for them. Things will clear over time. It is very difficult, but very worth it.

Yup! It doesn’t happen as much now, but when I was going through it I hated it and felt sick.
