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 .

Past and OCD
I hope everyone is doing well today, and for those of you who are struggling my thoughts and prayers are with you. Just know your moment of peace is coming soon. I think it’s important that we post / come on here every now and again even when we are not in a moment of pure panic and fear. Remember that we are not our thoughts as hard as it is to understand. Remember that OCD makes it feel “real” and that OCD will always make us think the most inappropriate things and the most inappropriate times. Remember that all humans, have thoughts that come and go and as hard as it can be to understand you are not alone in your thoughts that feel so unique. For me I get a lot of anxiety from thoughts I used to have , which of course makes them return in full throttle. The more I push them away the more they come back. And those thought makes new connections to those things in my life I value. OCD is a pain but it’s important that as much as you hate it you learn to be compassionate and understanding that it’s there to “help” you no matter how bad it does it job sometimes. Stay strong everyone

Looking for positivity 😄
I’ve seen wayyyy too many negative posts on here (I totally get it)…but can someone please share some positive experiences? Doesn’t have to be so grand, it could be just that you achieved a small goal with your ocd! I don’t want to continue feeling drowned by this debilitating disorder. I want to see what has helped some of you! So we can all encourage each other! 😊
