Same here, just yesterday I was thinking that I don't know how long I haven't gone a full day in which I don't think about this, interrupted I think it's been more than a year since this has left my mind for a day, and it was because I was worried about my health, where I forgot about this for several months

@Ilovemyhusband0322 Same. And my husband just told me, “I saw that you are researching if ocd is real. Are you still having those lesbian thoughts? Or what’s going on?” I thought I would panic but I didn’t. I almost wanted to laugh. I told him, “no not that theme, just ocd about ocd.” He said, “ I thought you were recovered?” I’m far from that

@Ilovemyhusband0322 Yes. That’s how kind started. I think we talked about this months ago.

@68273 My therapist told me she thinks we should just do maintenance and maybe we should because in addition to this theme, I’m having ocd about ocd. I want to recover so much that I’m doing so much rumination about ocd and researching

@68273 I was going to look into icbt. Erp is all about dealing with uncertainty. Icbt says , why should you live w the idea that you maybe “z, y, and z?” Just because you have ocd? That’s not fair

@Ilovemyhusband0322 What did you find? You might not like this but that’s a compulsion, googling it.

Anyone else struggle with “maybe, maybe not”?
I know the solution is to always say “yeah that could be true, but I am choosing to live my life anyway.” However, I feel like my biggest issue is my brain always assuming that it is immediately true when I do that. Like if I say “maybe I’m attracted to teenagers, it’s possible,” then my brain INSTANTLY starts rationalizing that thought and defending it and being like “oh okay so you think this now and it makes sense because xyz, and now that’s who you are and your real desire is now and always will be teenagers.” I feel really alone in this area of feeling like my brain “accepting the thoughts” means my brain immediately accepts them as true. I obviously don’t want to think they’re true but I feel so stuck now.
simba.

Need help right now
So been trying to do erp with my therapist for a while now, and tis really hard and feels like it's not working. Il get this weird sensation or feeling that makes me feel"gay" or as if I'm attracted to someone, and I know my therapist keeps telling me" you don't have to put meaning into the thoughts or feelings" but that seems impossible to do because and I'm sorry to say, it makes me feel that specific way. And I'll use the Erp quotes, "maybe maybe not" or"the more I struggle, the worse it gets" or"these feelings and thoughts are here, but I'm choosing to let them be" and I'll do nothing and try to let it be here but it's so distracting and feels very real, and it's like this sensation, small or big and it last all day, and even just sitting with it isn't working. And my therapist will tell me"you don't have to believe in it" and I'm sorry I feel like if it were that easy, OCD would have never been a problem in the first place, or live with uncertainty, however it doesn't feel like uncertainty, but feels very truthful or valid. Idk what I'm doing wrong tho
