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.
YES!! it is the worst, and probably the worst part of my ocd journey.
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.

And the fact that I don’t want to do any avoidance makes me feel like I truly do have a crush. Any of this sound relatable ?
@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.
You know when you have weird thoughts about a coworker and because you have OCD these thoughts really stick and you panic and feel sick? Yeah that’s me and I’ve struggled with having intrusive thoughts about my coworker and now he just got in a relationship with my coworker and my intrusive thoughts are WORSE I thought they would be better? And initially they were because I was relieved that he couldn’t be weird with me now because he has a girlfriend. But this is the thought that i cannot get over- my OCD is like you’re jealous that he doesn’t like you and he’s not with you instead and i envy this girl he is with. Why the fuck am I having these thoughts while I’m in a healthy relationship and love my boyfriend to DEATH- like I know he is my forever. I couldn’t look at him today because I’ve been obsessing over this thought I’ve had in work and now I have to find a new job I hope no one will judge me for these thoughts or maybe someone has had this weird thought before? :(
Im a 21 year old female in a straight relationship with the best guy a girl could ever ask for. About 2 months ago, I went to get coffee with a friend and as I dropped her off, I got a “weird” vibe from her and the look she gave me which lead to the thought of “should I kiss her”….Ive never had a thought like that before and I never have ever wanted to kiss another girl. I have also never had a desire to be with another girl (sexually or romantically). Now though, I have had one other experience of being with a different friend going to get lunch and it felt weird. Ever since then I have been on google non stop with hundreds of different searches, questioning if im lying to myself of my boyfriend, wondering about my past relationships even though Ive only dated boys, been attracted to boys, crushed on boys, etc… boy crazy! Reading on other forums has been a big thing too or doing quizzes. I believe its SO-OCD but im so scared that what if its not. I am in therapy and actually had two weeks of not even thinking about it or googling it until yesterday. I dont know what to do.
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?
