Not doing good again
I don’t know if it’s ocd or if it’s a real realization or change
I don’t know if it’s ocd or if it’s a real realization or change
If it’s distressing u, it’s ocd, hang in there bro, don’t give up. I was jus like u for the last 3 days. Only today I’ve strted fighting bsck again. Trust me we both do this and fight back. So many ppl are suffering. Jus know, those who are gay will like the fantasies these thoughts bring, we don’t. Sexual orientation ocd isn’t define us. It’s jus thoughts bro. Go to a therapist or someone specialised in ocd
@Anonymous I appreciate you man , much love. I think it is distressing bc I don’t feel happy about other wise I don’t think I’d be 2 years plus in and stuck on it
@Anonymous I have a ocd therapist on here but I’m struggling financially and unemployed
@Sp1999 Bro , that sucks man. I’m not with nocd but more with a mental health body who is speciallised in ocd. I hope it goes wel for u bro fr
@Sp1999 I was confused jus like u. Ofc it’s distressing because we don’t smile sbt it, we fear it, we want it gone, we want these thoughts to vanish. It’s ocd and it ll get better with support with the right ppl. Don’t lisn to what others have to say. I’m straight because I’ve always been straight and I overcame hocd before. And they made a return a year and a half later. Now I have it for a month n a half and it’s severe. But there’s times where my real thoughts come in and they give me relief showing I’m attracted to girls and I wil live my life with my girlfriend
@Anonymous It’s just insane bc no matter what I do I’m still convinced I like guys , I really don’t wanna like dudes man. I have two good friends who’ve been here for me with this ocd stuff one dude has hocd and the other is just experienced with ocd
@Sp1999 Same here. But then I jus know it isn’t real. Sexuality doesn’t change. I’ve lost attraction to girls like before but I remember I got over it. So I know I can get over it now
@Anonymous I’m scared I’m going through a real realization or something. It’s been a constant on going thing since 2021 and I’ve done been through all types of stages with this disorder
@Sp1999 I had it in 2021, it went away early 2022, and I was so happy, into girls crazily, happy rs, and All sorts, and then came back in 2023 august. I was able to combat it earlier, but now it’s fully in my head
@Anonymous Idk why it won’t go away and I won’t go back to being normal
@Sp1999 U need to call someone. If u was straight before this that won’t change at all. If u were straight from puberty crazy over girls THAT. WILL. NOT . CHANGE. Ocd is going to put fear in u. Trus me it gets better I promise. I’m going through the same as u but ik there’s nothing more than I want than to be with my girl forever and ever have our own little kids and our own little life
@Anonymous Idk anymore bro I really don’t , I’m scared af now
@Sp1999 Contact someone now. I’m scared too. It’s good. It jus shows it’s ocd working. We need to break the cycle. Try things like “mahbe I am, maybe I’m not, who knows, I don’t need to know thag rn” also have u been diagnosed wirh ocd ?
@Anonymous I do that all the time but it’s scares me and it doesn’t always work and yes I’ve been diagnosed twice on here
@Sp1999 Well then it’s ocd. It can happen abt anything. Fight it off bro. Trus me it’s hard. I’m noticing guys a lot more and I don’t like it. Can’t even watch tv or football or boxing or mma anymore. Now it’s in my dreams. It’s bad
@Anonymous Yeah bro I love fitness and used to look at dudes for inspiration like Sam Sulek and now it’s like you like him and it’s bothers me
@Sp1999 Bro I can’t stand with guys without thoughts ofnme doing stuff w em it’s long day for me😞 I lost my sex drive too. Has this happened to u that u feel sooo attracted then u feel it’s wrong and u close ur eyes tightly to end it 😞 it’s painful
@Anonymous Yes bro I’ve been through all the phases of this madness brother
i’ve unfortunately fallen into the cycle of trying to figure out my thoughts and find answers as to why i feel so distressed. this still pertains to the situation regarding changing my room for those reading who have seen my multiple posts over the last few days. i’ve been so distressed and in so much panic about it. i’m also panicking over my other room looking so different from when i left it. it’s been making me feel crazy because to me there’s no reason for my anxiety to latch so hard onto something that seems so minuscule. i was thinking i was having anxiety over change, but it’s like symptoms of ocd too that’s making it really hard for me to let go. SO i started thinking maybe it was perfectionism ocd? i’ve realized over time that i do compulsions to where things have to feel “just right”, but i also do that with any environment i’m in. like it HAS to feel cozy to me and provide me comfort in order for me to feel at ease. and this change is causing me to panic because there’s something wrong that i can’t find an answer to. maybe the different colored carpet? but it’s also more than that it feels like. however, now it’s spreading into other areas of my house where i’ve always been fine in and possibly to just any area i’m in at all. hence why it’s making me feel crazy because there’s no reason for me to be THIS distressed over that as i’ve never really had this problem before. and when i did it would last maybe an hour to a couple of days at most, but this has been going for over 2 weeks with my really bad anxiety being this week. i’m doing a little better, but it’s still hard when i can feel that panic waiting for me to acknowledge and just engulf me in the ocd cycle. i’m also analyzing basically any feeling i have so i just feel off in general and like i’m going insane. i’ve been so hyper focused on how i feel and that will send me spiraling too. multiple themes then start coming in like existential ocd and fear of solipsism. not to mention my harm and contamination ocd that just adds on when i’m this vulnerable. then i worry if no one is real, then no one feels the way i do. or just in general that what if no one feels the way i do. honestly, i think being out of college and in my house with nothing to do is causing me too much time with my thoughts. which is why i’m so distressed about everything that pops into my brain.
I used to be able to determine what was my OCD and what’s real life but now it’s all just blending together. I literally can’t tell what’s true between what’s not true. my overthinking is absolutely terrible and rituals and everything is just crumbling.
Soo i need to say this but i struggle with real event ocd but its not things i did but things i thought or things i felt for certain situations or to certain things i like im having trouble telling apart my feelings like i try to sort them like oh this is that feeling but i got the same feeling for two different situations one is good one is bad and i got the same feeling so im just scared why did i have that reaction i guess i just im sitting here analyzing what that feeling is and i genuinely dont know its not anything physical its more in my head and now im checking every moment in the past to see the thought process and what i felt in that moment and im just scared of what i feel
