I feel like I want these thoughts and want to be with the same sex. Its just banging away 24/7. Its so difficult because I remember when girls were everything to me
i feel this too
I've had this for so long. But this time feels like the final straw and no turning back.
I’m deep diving the DBT strategy of radical acceptance. It’s basically allowing thoughts to come through and present themselves but using some mantras or tapping to let them flow through your body.I’m an empath on top of OCD so I have to constantly be self aware of asking . Is this me I’m feeling or am I absorbing others energies.
I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this, but know that things will get better! I once faced a similar situation, and what really helped me was this free AI OCD therapy tool, Unstuck (unstuckmyocd.com/try), which my therapist recommended. Considering your struggles with thought spirals, I think Unstuck could be perfect as it can provide personalized and gradual guidance for such situations. I know it's tricky trying not to engage in mental debates! Remember that it's not the content of our thoughts, but how we respond to them that matters. I don't usually promote stuff, but Unstuck was genuinely helpful for me, and I really think it could guide you too—I'm definitely here for you! 😊👍
Thanks so much 🙏 😊
Hey there, I so feel what you’re experiencing. Arguing with these persistent thoughts can feel like an uphill battle, and not being able to stop can really wear you down. I remember feeling the same way you do right now, stuck in never-ending circles. Something that helps me when I'm struggling with my OCD is this AI OCD therapy tool called Unstuck (unstuckmyocd.com/try). A buddy from my OCD support group introduced me to it, and I only wish I had known about it earlier. It's super helpful for your situation because it tailors the approach to your specific problem, creating step-by-step support to break free from the draining cycle of arguing with thoughts, just like a human OCD therapist would. Don't hesitate to reach out if you've got any questions about Unstuck or if you simply wanna chat more, I'm here for you 😊👍.
Thanks so much. I downloaded on playstore but you have to pay
What helps when u can't stop an obsessive thought from Occuring?
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?
