I don’t know anymore.

@ZTValen Did you recover?

@ZTValen Trans ocd so hard

@sara_0209 In the sense that my themes don't control my life. The intrusive thoughts are still there, but I'm better equipped to handle them.

@star1232 It is, but OCD is hard in general. Working on your exposures would probably help.

@ZTValen Can you help me ?

@star1232 To some extent, I can give you some advice on what I did for exposures or talk about what I experienced going through TOCD. But, keep in mind, I'm not a licensed mental health professional.

@ZTValen Would appreciate letting me know how you kept your mind positive threw this. I’m dealing with the same, started with soocd/harm but threw a soocd panic I got tocd and I heard they can overlap. I freaked myself out it’s just wild how ocd waits for you to break down and it just got worse.

@ZTValen What did it feel like for you that you were convinced to be gay?

@ZTValen Yes I know

@sara_0209 Not pleasant, I can say that much. For me, I know I like women, I'm married to one. But your brain keeps pushing that one thought. It feels like an upheaval of your life. Wrought with anxiety and stress, mixed with identity loss.

@Anonymous For me, I have a strong support system - my wife, specifically. I also keep myself busy with work, hobbies, etc. And I keep working on my exposures, no matter how unpleasant. Trusting and knowing that ERP will help me through this is what keeps me going.

@star1232 Alright, whatever you want to chat about, feel free! I can't guarantee I'll be much help, but I'll try! (That, and I'm off to get a tetanus shot, so I'll be back after that)

@ZTValen Ok, do u have insta ? Or any other app than this

@star1232 Unfortunately, not really. I'm a tad on the older and reserved side, so I kinda keep off of most forms of social media. 🙃

@ZTValen Hey @ztvalen recently been struggling bad with tocd and soocd. I remember you said you can chat with someone I just want to know your tools and just have some questions if I’m able too that would be awesome. Thank you

@AyseTetik Thank you! I’ve been getting better however the intrusive thoughts are still there and I’m so confused and feel like deep down I like or want what I imagine :( it’s so hard and I’m so tired :(

@Vee <3 That’s what I’m dealing with right this second! Just intrusive thoughts about women and my ocd is deep down telling me I want it. It’s not causing anxiety which can be even scarier but at the moment I couldn’t care less what it’s saying sometimes because it’s the same cycle each time lol! It is difficult! I know just how you feel! Make sure you just treat the thoughts as thoughts! X.
