Hey dear, you are not alone and you don’t have to go alone trough this okey? We are all here to support each other! Don‘t feel bad about feeling like that, because you are HUMAN and that’s absolutely NORMAL! ✨ Hocd is pure hell, I think we all can agree with that. And do you know what? HOCD is an illness. An mental illness. And illnesses have symptoms and signs. And such thoughts are symptoms. What helps me is reminding myself: „these thoughts are okey, because they are part of my mental illness called OCD.“ Don‘t be hard with yourself. I know it’s not easy. But you DON‘T have to leave your boyfriend just because of some dumb HOCD thoughts. The way you write about him show pretty much how much you love him. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, remember that. I know you are a strong person, but feeling sometimes weak and bad is okey. You got this girl! ✋?❤️✨

Hello ❤️ please understand that you aren’t alone in this and you never will be. I wish I could take your pain away and help you feel less lost , but sadly it’s a very complicated thing. OCD makes us believe things specifically because they don’t reflect our true selves- we feel afraid and repulsed by these thoughts and even more afraid that we like them. It wouldn’t be OCD if it didn’t feel real , and if we couldn’t look back and point to things that we take as signs confirming our fears , then it wouldn’t be OCD either. You mean a lot to the people here and myself , I wanna do everything I can to help you out !!! Try telling yourself that you’ll never have the answers to these questions , but live your life regardless of the fears. Think of them as bad , mean hearted people who want nothing more then to see you change your life around and stress because of them. Don’t let them have control over you , you may not believe it but you’re stronger than you think ❤️

I had almost all this thoughts during my relationship with my ex boyfriend but I didn't know it's ocd I just thought I'm a dumbass and I don't know what I want. But I got rid of these thoughts by thinking that I'm super lucky that I got someone who loves me and I talked about these thoughts with my mom and she told me that sometimes people have thoughts like that from stress and actually if you think about something it doesn't mean it's true. For example your friend can think she's fat but she's not .

I feel sick to my stomach, a few days ago I knew I was straight and could picture my life with my bf again. The anxiety has really lessend and Im more depressed now. I'm 100% convinced I am lesbian even tho I have never had sexual attraction to women, found them pretty but never wanted to be with them. My mind is only picturing me being with women now and it feels like a pit in my stomach. I don't feel emotion now, I'm also on my period. I don't want to be lesbian. I want to be with my boyfriend and have the life I pictured with him. My memory is so dissorted right now. I don't think there's anything wrong with being lesbian, it's just not for me and now that makes me feel like I'm homophobic.

I am a 18 year old masc lesbian with a loving girlfriend for 1 year, and I have been lesbian for almost my whole life and I have never been attracted to men in any way. flash to my past, My ex girlfriend who used to identify as a lesbian had cheated on me with a man. Recently I saw this tiktok of this masc lesbian turn straight and my friends and girlfriend made jokes I am going to turn straight for my male best friend. My male best friend came over and he’s a great guy but I do not want him in any way. when him and i were hanging out my mind threw in a thought it was “What if i like him”, i came back home and i had the worst panic attack and i felt so sick, i cried and i cried. ever since that day I have been struggling with intrusive thoughts, i don’t want a man in any way, and i feel comfortable as a lesbian but these thoughts won’t stop and they become worse when i see people say being lesbian is a phase or that i haven’t met the right guy or i’ll change in the future. i just want these thoughts to stop, i don’t want to stop being a lesbian ever, i love women so much and i just want all of this to be over with. i do not want a man in any way and im tired of my thoughts doubting myself and i hate the “what ifs”, I just want to be my old self, I want to be happy with my girlfriend.

I have been doing okay for the past week or so and was really happy i felt that i was getting back on track, but today i went on tiktok and i saw something triggering which was “i thought i was a lesbian for 4 years until i met my now boyfriend” and it triggered me very badly, i have been crying all day and i can’t seem to make myself feel okay. i feel like im lying to myself that im not lesbian and i truly want men, but when i get any thought about men it feels disgusting and wrong and not me, i don’t want men i feel so sick i want to get out of this. i always felt so happy as a lesbian im so stuck i don’t want to be with a man. i have a loving girlfriend i just want to be happy with her.
