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.

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 :)

I need too know that I'm not insane, really. I am 16 and for the past two weeks, this has been completely ruining my health and happiness. I only recently came out as a lesbian like 3 months ago after a lot of confusion about my attraction since I used to think I liked men. At first, I felt so sure that I liked women, but lately, I've been having these unwanted thoughts about the possibility of liking men. I never used to feel this way, but now, every time I look at a man, my brain obsessively fixates on it. It forces me to imagine kissing him, loving him, things I don’t want, and then tries to convince me that I do. It’s painful. The thought of this fills me with fear and anxiety, leading to panic attacks and breakdowns. I don’t want these thoughts. I hate them with every fiber of my being, but I’m terrified that one day I’ll act on them and somehow like it. I used to think I liked men, but back then, I was in a very unhealthy space in a time of escapism and something deeply parasocial. I’ve only ever liked the attention and validation a man could give me, but these experiences are somehow treated as further proof that I’m "bisexual." I’ve never been in a real relationship with anyone, which makes my brain constantly challenge me—telling me, “You don’t even know what love feels like.” It won’t shut up. It keeps obsessively trying to make me prove that I’m a lesbian, testing my reactions and questioning my certainty. Is this normal?

As a lesbian with SO-OCD, I feel so helpless. It's truly exhausting because no one I know understands what I'm going through. The first response is always, "You're just confused" or "You don't have to know yet." But that's not the issue, I do know. I just never see any lesbians with SO-OCD so I feel so invalidated. These thoughts flood my brain constantly, forcing me to analyze my reactions to every man I see. I feel trapped in an endless cycle of "testing" myself, trying to prove that I don't like them. But my brain fights back, telling me I do want to love a man, making it feel real even though don't want it. It's terrifying. At this point, it's hard to even hold onto my identity as a lesbian because I'm so overwhelmed. I don't know if this is what real attraction is supposed to feel like, and that fear eats away at me. The truth is, when I think about being with a man, all I feel is disgust and fear-but my brain twists that into doubt. I hate it. I'm at the point where I'm scared I'm going to have to accept something I don't want because I don't know if this will ever go away. I miss who I was before all this.

I’m so tired. I’m so tired. I’ve lost so much weight due to this mental illness. I sleep 18 hours a day to escape these thoughts. I grieve my old self so much. I miss crushing on men, I miss loving men, I miss dressing up nice and get compliments from men, I miss listening to music and daydream about my dream man. I miss wanting to get married and have my own kids with my dream husband. All of those things… I’ve desired them so much and I’ve daydreamed about them so much. My OCD is telling me that it’s all fake. I miss my old desire and love for men. I’m so tired of being alive. I’m so tired of seeing multiple posts where people who apparently suffered from SOOCD became their fears. I’m so tired. Cause y’all probably didn’t even have ocd in the first place idc. I will say it again, has it been someone with pocd or harm ocd and their obsessions/fears became true NONE of y’all would’ve had the same reaction. Stop normalizing soocd obsessions becoming true. It is someone’s worst nightmare. People are out here attempting because of it.
