:( SO-OCD struggles
To my fellow SO-OCD fighters, Do you guys ever feel like your OCD tricks you into thinking that you actually like these thoughts? And does that send you down another spiral?

It tried to rule me, but no. I know I'm straight, I like women, I'm in a relationship. I'm having thoughs, just probably not as everyone does. But I do. I know who I am, and I know what ocd is. It is not real, it is trying to defeat me. I won't gonna let. What really helped me is knowledge of ocd as such, and knowing what I am, who I am

Oh, my apologies. Please, I'm not professional. I'm just saying my personal expirience. So, it can be OCD if there is some trigger for obsessive thoughts kicking in. If the thoughts are unwanted, unpleasant. Ye, it can be OCD, can you tell me more about what you expiriencing, what feelings? What thoughts? It there some trigger?

Well, I think this could be more trauma related, than ocd. Unless there are really obsessive, unwanted thoughts and concerns about your sexuality and attraction, it this case it could be ocd. But from what you wrote, I think there is something you are not over yet, something from your last relationships. And It reflected in your nowadays relationship. Reconise the things that troubling you, I hope you have a understanding boyfriend, try to talk with him about this. Try therapy. Don't do those compulses. It is making things worse, trust me. With insecurity of men, it could be challenging. But if you are sure that you are straight, it just need a correct self treatment, well-being and stuff. Talk with your boyfriend, if you want, you can consider therapy. Text me if you have some questions about anything Please, keep in mind I'm not professional

Is this something OCD does?
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢

Heyyyy!
So my OCD has been bad lately. I’ve been ruminating and obsessing over my sexuality again. And it just keeps getting worse. I hate it so much. I try to sit with the discomfort but then my ocd does the backdoor spike. And the groinal response is what keeps me looped. It SUCKS. I am not attracted to men, but my OCD is trying SO hard to convince me that I am. There have been days where I’m just so mentally exhausted that I “accept” what my ocd tells me and I just walk around a hollow, lethargic shell. But then I rethink it and I feel better. It feels like I can only find my TRUE self when I tire my nervous system out enough that it literally breaks down and has me suicidal and hopeless. And then accepting my OCD’s “truth” (that I’m attracted to men) feels like a burden and a chore. I woke up today from an OCD dream, tried to go back to sleep, and my stomach kept cramping bc I was so anxious and ruminating over my intrusive thoughts. I’m starting to doubt it being OCD anymore. My brain is too tired to fight and cry about it anymore.

SO-OCD
people who have so-ocd, do you feel like you’re lying to your partner secretly. i don’t know why i get these intrusive thoughts but my mind continuously keeps making scenarios where i will leave my girlfriend in the future for a man. i want to stay a lesbian forever and i don’t want to hurt my girlfriend and it makes me so upset that my brain makes these thoughts up. i really hate all these thoughts and i don’t want to be with a man, i don’t want to be attracted with one, i don’t want to like one or anything related to one.
