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 :)

So my OCD has been bad lately. I’ve been ruminating and obsessing over my sexuality again. And it just keeps getting worse. I hate it so much. I try to sit with the discomfort but then my ocd does the backdoor spike. And the groinal response is what keeps me looped. It SUCKS. I am not attracted to men, but my OCD is trying SO hard to convince me that I am. There have been days where I’m just so mentally exhausted that I “accept” what my ocd tells me and I just walk around a hollow, lethargic shell. But then I rethink it and I feel better. It feels like I can only find my TRUE self when I tire my nervous system out enough that it literally breaks down and has me suicidal and hopeless. And then accepting my OCD’s “truth” (that I’m attracted to men) feels like a burden and a chore. I woke up today from an OCD dream, tried to go back to sleep, and my stomach kept cramping bc I was so anxious and ruminating over my intrusive thoughts. I’m starting to doubt it being OCD anymore. My brain is too tired to fight and cry about it anymore.

I’ve been dealing with SOOCD for over a year now, and I have been having a very hard day today. I feel like I just need someone to talk too, my whole life I’ve always had girl crushes and always wanted to be romantic with women . Ever since I posted this picture on instagram and one person said I looked “zesty” in it , which is when I started obsessing about being gay . I feel like I put so much meaning to these thoughts where now I’m always checking how I feeling around men. I had a really bad porn addiction for a long time and bad anxiety which fucked up my sex drive. I feel like I doubt if I’m attracted to women when I know I am , but the doubt is so overbearing where I start to believe it . I never was interested in men sexually, and my ocd makes me feel like I like the thoughts even though I feel no pleasure out of it. I feel like I lost who I am as a person . It feels like I don’t even know what my sexuality is and it’s really upsetting to me . I meant this girl the other day and she is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met and I just feel like ocd is getting in the way😭😭😭 please any advice or comments

Hello, so I’ve been struggling really badly with so-ocd where I am worried that I’m not actually straight when that’s what I’ve always thought and wanted to be. I’ve been with my boyfriend for about 2.5 years now, he’s my first boyfriend and I really love him so much and want to spend the rest of my life with him. I remember one time, before I had struggles with so-ocd, I had a thought along the lines of ‘what if I’m missing out on other men by staying with him’ and it didn’t really cause any anxiety but I felt quite guilty for thinking that. But I moved on. However, right now I’m in the depths of so-ocd it started back in March I believe, and today I had a thought along the lines of ‘what if I never get the opportunity to try being with a woman because I’m in a relationship with a man’ and that has really set me off today. I’ve had a meltdown over it, my chest feels heavy and it felt so real like I actually wanted it and I had a feeling of wanting to be gay even though that’s not what I want in life. Why is this happening to me and I feel so horrible for thinking this like it felt like it was me and not the ocd and that I’m just lying to myself and my boyfriend. I’ve tried scrolling on here to see if anyone has had a similar thought or experience and I am aware that this is reassurance seeking but I just need someone to tell me that I’m okay
