Anyone else with a similar experience with ocd?

@Imtrigad0529 You explained it better than I ever could

@Imtrigad0529 Truly the disease of doubt

Yea I was scared because like where was the anxiety where were the thoughts where has everything I struggled with gone I feel once I get to work and be doing erp because I of environment I'm in with working with children I might be able to let It go again because yea I can't one minute be thinking I'm gay and the next a p also hoping my attraction to women returns also because another point I'd say is even if it's real my attraction to older women wouldn't dissappear which I why I belive its ocd

@Bruno123 Yea man when I struggled with sexual orientation ocd, I lost all my attraction to women and I had a heavy crush a week prior and it just disappeared. It was painful, and my first true moment of severe ocd. It was tough and i was really in my worst days of struggling. I never thought I’d see the day but literally I had enough of it and I was like what ever I don’t care anymore if I’m gay I’m gay. I knew I wasn’t but I wasn’t telling myself that no more I just got involved with my life and trying to just focus on things outside of my mind and I kid you not I don’t remember the day but I just didn’t notice it anymore, it poked around trying to get me at times but I would just telling it whatever or I don’t care or I’ll think about that another time and sure enough I laugh at it now. I still struggle with ocd but that theme had passed and doesn’t bother me the slightest. It’s just funny how ocd works

@Imtrigad0529 Oh bro I can belive you cause when pocd went I didn't even realise it, it literally took me a couple of weeks of the second spike before I realised that wait it when I didn't even realise

Does the fact I had the symptoms of ocd and had attraction to women 18 and older mean its just ocd trying scare me and the lack of symptoms I had compared to last month just ocd again trying to make me think I am a p when it's just ocd?

@Bruno123 Don’t wanna reassure you too much because reassurance actually can be a bit of a bad thing with OCD, but from what I read you don’t seem like a p

@Bruno123 It’s a very confusing and distressing thing to deal with, believe me, it’s sent me into panic attacks so many times. But one thing to remember is true p even though they don’t like having the attraction, they still enjoy their thoughts. And most of them know by the time they hit puberty, it’s usually innate (they’re born with it) but POCD can really make you feel like a monster when you’re the furthest thing from

@Bryce Taylor Thanks and yea I'm trying not get reassurance but it's weird rn I don't anxious around kids and tweens like last month and the fact my symptoms have gone down is something I hate plus I heard a p usually know they a p from early ages like the attraction to younger ones usually starts at like 12-14 and I've never had any attraction at all it literally went thought I was gay one second and then a second later I thought I was a p

@Bruno123 It’s confusing like that, it’s basically like OCD on steroids, and the mind can be very deceiving and can even distort you perception in ways just from that worry alone

I've had anxiety but the like physical anxiety I could feel went away when It came back like it was there for a week and went but ik it's gonna sound really weird but if Imagine a scenario it gives ne distress I have a shake in my body and sharp anxiety fir a couple

I'd just want your opinion nothing more because it kinda went away on its own cause I was basically doing erp with helping the kids at the park and no thought and stuff didn't happen for months does it mean it's probably ocd

@Bruno123 Oh word okay, sorry if I came off the wrong way at all too, but it’s good that the anxiety is going away though too for sure, anxiety is a tricky one to deal with

@Bryce Taylor Not at all bro the fact it kinda went away with me working keeping me having hope because a p wouldn't go from having the thoughts and stuff ect and then nothing and then back to thoughts again

@Bruno123 Oh no, a P would know without any doubt even if they were in denial. Huge difference for sure

@Bryce Taylor Not sure if the comment I made for the other person is correct what would u say?

@Bruno123 Oh yeah, it definitely will do that, I still have moments like you described even today where there’s no anxiety but my mind is just like “but but but what if? What if?” Basically, it’s just. Ugh lol, but the nice thing to know is, is that you can definitely recover and will be much stronger and resilient because of this experience

@Bruno123 On another note too I don’t know if you’re into lifting weights or jogging or anything like that, but it definitely helps and gives you a clear head even if it is only a fleeting clarity

@Bryce Taylor Yea I think because I recovered really quick last time I'm impatient the parks been closed since November which funny enough when this theme came back😂

@Bryce Taylor I think I'm gonna start doing that it's just cause I was so stuck in ocd I didn't want to leave my house because I was nervous incase I saw a kid and has gronial or false attraction or something and because no anxiety it'd make me go nuts and think I'm a p

@Bruno123 Ohhh yeah. I know that feeling, makes you feel like you can’t enjoy anything, and going to the grocery store can feel like a straight trip to hell. No fun, mental health should be definitely taken more seriously though, too many people suffer and feel like they can’t reach out and that’s the real problem. But we gotta stick together and have that support for sure. Bless ya though man you seem like a really good dude with a good head on your shoulders

@Bryce Taylor Thats all I want to do I don't want to harm anyone in any kind of way especially not kids they need to be taken care of and helped through life I would never want to hurt a child never have any never would never

You can ignore this post it's just the comments we're 29 and felt I needed to put on 30😂
