Maybe they could make specific trigger warnings, that could be useful.

I made this earlier out of frustration but now that I talked it out and took in different opinions I kinda changed my mind? But to answer your question it was hocd. Sometimes, I can’t differentiate between it being sheer ocd or internalized lgbtphobia and as someone part of that community, it tends to upset me to see people treat us like we’re something bad. This, however, was before I was talked to about different factors that may have led to hocd like religious conditioning, being raised by conservative parents or even because so many bi people tend to get erased in society that we see only two options, those being gay or straight. I would’ve suggested this could be for anyone who might panic over a post that could trigger their ocd but then I realized that’s what trigger warning is for. So basically, disregard what I said here fndnjdjfjg

Yeah, I get where you’re coming from with that. It’s like it’s such a sensitive topic for some people, it comes out the wrong way whenever people talk about it. I even struggle with HOCD (and other themes), yet watch myself to see if I’m being ignorant because I was a few times in the past while struggling with this. In my opinion, it’s not so much the fear of being gay, but the fear that people who suffer has been living a lie their entire lives. While it’s perfectly okay to be gay/bi/Pan/queer/etc., sometimes, people seem to misunderstand the reason why this is such a big issue beyond internalized homophobia. And don’t forget that this can go the other way around too. You have the right to be upset, but just don’t forget where these people are coming from.

Absolutely!! And that’s why I’m glad someone was able to talk it out with me. I can tell it’s really hard to handle sudden changes like that so in the end I don’t blame you guys for being distressed by the idea of living a lie. Especially if like I said your backgrounds weren’t the most supportive it can be hard to come to terms with.

@rose-r0t Yeah. It’s pretty normal to doubt it at some point or think outside of what you were taught (and scary too). But it’s unhealthy to constantly question about it 24/7 or have the question take over your life. I have a few lgbt friends myself, and they told me that the difference between me and them was that whenever they questioned themselves, they were either able to come to a peaceful conclusion or turn the thoughts “off.” The fact I can’t do that kinda proves that it’s OCD. Sometimes, I even feel bad for being stuck with this theme just because more people are being accepting towards it nowadays (which is good) but I’m also afraid that I’ll end up offending some people in the community by going through this. Like the best thing to do is realize what I really like (which I know) and just accept that things may or may not change. Even though my mind constantly tries to seek “the change,” my orientation won’t change in 5 minutes, it doesn’t work like that. But thank you for writing this because I noticed it too.

Is it in my head
I have constantly been feeling like if I hit one arm, I have to hit the other and if I set something down and it just didn’t look right or feel right I had to do it again or I had to move it to a different spot in my room I’ve had never been a clean freak, which is mainly what I get told is OCD And I don’t know if I should even have this app. I don’t know if I actually have it. I’m constantly worried that I did something in my past that harmed others and that’s why people don’t like me or I’m constantly worried People are constantly watching me and I don’t know if that’s OCD or if I have it so please tell me I will delete this app and never think of it again if I don’t I just really wanna know

anyone want to be part of a ocd groupchat?:)
hey! i was thinking it would be cool if there would be a place where we could find people and become friends with other people dealing with ocd. it could be a safe place for us to say our experience so far, or to just talk about anything, even if it’s not ocd related. lmk what you think about this idea and comment what you think we could/should make it on!

What can I do if I’m being bothered by something?
Good morning, I have been noticing more and more that I might have OCD. I am currently a student and this is causing me to slack a lot during school. I am a student who has a 504 plan (accommodation for my mental health) and would like to add this app on my 504 due to my school having a no phone policy. My question is, how can this app help me while in school? What are things that can happen during school that might lead me to using this app? I am new to this app and barley finding out that I might have OCD. If any clarification needs to be made on this post please let me know! :)
