Hey everyone. I’ve been doing okay today. But I’ve been on twitter today and I don’t know if anyone has seen this but there’s a lot of people that speculate Shawn Mendes suffers from SOOCD. So I started reading about it and there’s a lot of people just laughing about it or saying he’s homophobic or closeted and it’s really stressing me out. I know I’ve said it a million times but it feels too real to be a ‘mental disorder’. How on earth can this be OCD and not just a sexual identity crisis?

You can’t listen to these people. They don’t know anything about ocd or mental illness and are speaking off of no knowledge so plz don’t let it get to you.

Its not about what people are saying, some people still believe earth is flat(seriously) and he is a star and taking therapy sessions that means something doesn't it. Don't worry about all of that there are time when we (hocd fighters yes that is what im gonna call us from now) consider it might not be ocd and some inner desire. And remember what you are searching for is a compulsion not a treatment so don't do it.

Those people don’t have any knowledge on ocd. People are probably just sensitive to these things now, they think we’re just offending them when that’s not the case. Sorry if that didn’t sound right, but my Point is they don’t know what it’s like. If it seems that way to them then so be it. They don’t know what it’s like so ignore them. If they were to deal with it , there’s opinion would totally change.

Where does it say that?

Hey I know you’re all right, it just stresses me out sometimes. And then I’ll think well what if this isn’t OCD and what if this is what gay people go through before they realise? I know I fell into another ruminating session. Thanks everyone.

@HOCDiagnosed if you look online there are people saying he looks like he’s suffering from it. Obviously I know don’t believe everything you read but theres a lot more people saying it than I expected. I don’t mean like actual articles.

@HOCDiagnosed most of these people are saying it in response to those calling him homophobic.

A lot of people are replying to tweets about it so they might just say ‘he’. They’re there though :)
