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.
