I feel like mine isn't really thoughts anymore it's just rumination, doubts, anxiety and compulsive checking. But because I don't get intrusive thoughts anymore or as much I feel like I don't even have OCD and it's really triggering me making me feel like I'm actually bisexual or attracted to men. I'm losing attraction to women now as well I hate this
Ya bro I’m like that I don’t get thought no more but only doubt and and rumination and compulsive checking I’m also losing attraction toward woman now I don’t like it to
Diagnosis may be challenging ‘cause there’s a intrinsic multifatorial character to it. People with OCD experience repetitive and intrusive thoughts, images, urges, or feelings, called obsessions, and it assumes different forms to each individual, to whom is equall— that’s why many of us think of it more like of a spectrum. A fair share of evidences point inflexibility as its main component, resultant from overwhelming adversities experienced by the individual that wounds them and gradually takes away their capacity of responding and being mindful of internal and external experiences. Regarding thoughts, emotions and sensations, intolerance of uncertainty, which leads us to coping mechanisms such rumination, and both are elemental to people within obsessive-compulsiveness disorder’s experience. Its intrusiveness can assume any form — sensations, verbal sentences, emotions, memory, and it’s commonly there at a low degree when there’s been a remission due to treatment and the individual’s own understanding and agency regards healing themselves. It liberates them to work with more profound aspects of their own mental health. The most wise use of a diagnosis is tracking an individual’s symptoms and signs while also being genuinely curious about one’s entire experience about what’s happening to them — not to produce normativity.

Are you getting stressed when you think about a women or date a women and etc..
i totally get how you're feeling, these ruminative thoughts and doubts can be exhausting, and compulsive checking is tough to deal with. it must be so confusing to simultaneously lose your attraction to women while questioning your sexuality. it's clear you're going through a lot right now. 💔 by the way, have you heard about this new AI-powered OCD therapy tool called 'unstuck?' in my personal experience, the free AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" (unstuckmyocd.com/try) made a huge difference for me when i was dealing with similar issues. i think it'll be especially helpful for you because it provides step-by-step personalized support to handle rumination, doubts, and compulsive behaviors effectively. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3
Even after ocd has calmed down. Scared that when my ocd goes away, I’ll still have “attraction” and groinals to girls. I don’t want to be lesbian. It’s like I don’t want my ocd to go away now? Anxiety and intrusive thoughts have gone down but my false attraction still feels real? And now it feels like I’ve always had this. And my real attraction is still missing? Has this happened to anyone ?
It feels like my boyfriend is ‘another compulsion” because he makes me happy and that is what ocd does, but when he is gone, my mind can go everywhere. Mostly thinking im not attracted to men (im bi and for some reason i feel like i have to choose 1 gender, and that that would be women) even though i know that i dont have to choose and can just be happy with my bf. But then my mind can go “but are you happy” or “youre not aroused right now or aroused enough so your gay or you dont like bf” Thats really hard, because my one of my biggest fears is being with a man all my life (having a family etc) and then falling in love with a woman and throw it all away. I really really love my boyfriend, but it can feel like this is not my real identity and im doing the wrong thing. Like when im not thinking about it, if thats maybe my ocd and not the overthinking. Does anyone understand?
The thought of being with a woman used to make me uneasy and sad/depressed. But now I feel nothing when I think about them. Which now makes me feel anxious because I feel like it’s a sign that I want it. I feel like I’m in a never ending loop. Also my attraction to boys is gone and idk how to get it back :( I feel so lost Help and advice would be nice
