I am a male , and About 2 months ago, I felt an immense dread of fear after a loss in trust with my girlfriend . I noticed a male , that was good looking and went into a state of intense panic and fear of I had the thoughts “ I am gay, I might have been gay all along, I have always gotten along better with males anyway” for the last two months I woke up everyday in a state of intense fear all day with these thoughts on my mind . Mind you, I read a book “ the power of now” about 5 years ago and thought that I had reached a level of peace and happiness in my life and then suddenly this happened . I realized that I have had OCD for a long time . I felt hopeless , even wanting to quit my high income job to just take some time away. I am feeling about 85 percent better now if I had to put a number on it. You really just have to understand that no body in this world would choose anxiety. You have to change your relationship with thoughts . Understand that thoughts are just thoughts and thoughts are programmed into us from what we consume on social media, tv , etc . Fill yourself with “ a F it “ mentality . Maybe you are maybe you are not . Change your attitude to your thoughts , you are not afraid of OCD . You have recognized it , it is here and you are here . OCD can stay as long as it wants , when you see these thoughts say “ Thank you for coming , you are welcome to stay here , I will not judge you . I will let you be” do not try and stop these thoughts , that in itself causes friction. Embrace them . If you were what you fear, there would be no fear .
