i recovered from sexual orientation OCD — AMA ✰
hii !! usually i pop in and out of here a couple times a year, but i just realized it’s been over THREE YEARS since i developed sexual orientation OCD. wow. so of course i redid my account… like always… but with the commitment to stay and answer questions and help out as much as possible ♡ i developed sexual orientation OCD during COVID. at that time, i identified as a lesbian, and i got the thought “what if you were attracted to guys, but didn’t know, because you had no romantic experience?” and ever since then, it was constant panic. constant panic that then led into addiction, a loss of all my athletic performances, and constant anxiety. my compulsions were 80% of my day, and was considered severe. i failed ERP three times before i decided to stick to it two years later, and finally could consider myself recovered. if anyone has any questions or would like any insight — please ask away !! ⭐️
