HOCD/ SOCD really bothering me
I’m so exhausted of this, so exhausted of all the doubt, the confusion that my HOCD is causing me.. I’ve never been so distressed and anxious before, and it’s constantly, I’m constantly worried and I can’t think of anything else.. This post is probably going to be quite long, and I’m going to put a trigger warning, since it might contain something NSWF. I’ve had these thoughts for about 7-8 months.. and I’m honestly just so tired, I though days where I’m sure that ‘of course I’m straight’ and then later on have excessive doubts that gives me really bad anxiety, to the point I can’t do anything but cry in a corner of my room. I’ve alway been attracted to boys, or at least I thought so.. now I’m scared that I never really was.. like I’ve never been aroused just by the look of a man shirtless.. and that’s scaring me so bad right now.. but I have been attracted to men.. I’m sure, once I blushed because a boy I found attractive stood behind me in a queue.. I’d feel instantly hot when I saw my celebrity crush.. and I’ve had countless of fantasies about men.. but still, I’m so sad, so afraid.. I’m genuinely not okay anymore.. The thought of not being with a man saddens me.. it’s the only thing I want.. why can’t my brain just be satisfied with that? The thought of not being able to choose your own sexuality legit scares me.. it feels as if I’m being forced to something I don’t want.. I don’t even know who I am anymore.. I can’t feel the old me.. she’s long gone, and left behind is this really anxious, sad human being.. I’ve reached an age where everyone has had sex, but I haven’t I haven’t even kissed a boy.. I do want that to.. but my low self esteem is keeping me back.. I am afraid that people will make fun of me.. but now my brain also says that the only reason to why I wanna kiss a boy is to be ‘accepted’ and now I don’t know what to do.. And one thing I also is afraid means something about my sexuality is that I often wonder wether people from my OWN gender has had sex.. I feel so freaked out right now.. so extremely sad.. I’m also hyper-aware of the same gender.. I can’t even just find people pretty, as most women do.. I feel as if I’m attracted to them, and it scares me so bad.. I’m so anxious, and so sad.. what if this is the true me? How could I ever live with that? I only wanna be with a man.. it has always been my dream..
