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.

So I identify as a lesbian and I am in a committed relationship with a wonderful girl. But i’m stressing that I have crushes on boys I go to school with. I get anxious around them, which I think I mistake for excitement. I obsess over it in my head which confuses me a lot. Idk I also never think about them sexually or romantically but I think about them often which is scaring me. Any advice?

ocd projection onto another person! is it possible?
Have you ever had a thought about sexual taboo topics, when you have a person for whom ocd is attached, that you think "maybe that person wants that, that's the way he looks at me or what do I know" what if that person wanted it, and you feel an urge to do something about it, you say or what do I know?

OCD + autism combo
I have experienced every theme that can be added to post but I’m currently experiencing those. So I am on the spectrum and I happen to have a high sensory profile and it definitely gives the ocd more to latch unto. I would see a pretty female with makeup done and it eatssss and I would notice the facial symmetry + how her features compliment each other and my ocd would be like why did you notice she is pretty, BECAUSE I HAVE EYES😭! I can’t be the only neurodivergent person that notices details and how attractive people are intensely? I do not even care about orientation but I know for sure if I was into women, it won’t just start plaguing me one evening Im my head shouting “you are gay” like man Im a female at least say you are a lesbian 😭😂😂😂😂. How can I genuinely have no interest and get outrightly repulsed by females sexually and romantically. It feels like I am being forced to be something im not. I tried accepting i am lesbian but I experienced more anxiety and could not sleep till I accepted i am still straight and it is ocd playing with me(ocd leave me alone, I don’t even enjoy playing with you) I accepted i am a lesbian like ocd said I should but why do I still love my ex and hope I marry him😭 + I couldn’t bring myself to be interested in females. OCD leave me alone because I don’t enjoy this game again! I’m not homophobic at all but denouncing Im straight doesn’t feel like home and I still find myself yearning for only men
