I was at the gym today. There’s a gay trainer at the gym. My mind can’t stop imagining me and him in a relationship!! I can’t stop the imagines pops into my head! They’re soo intrusive they make me feel so sad! I don’t want this thoughts!!!! This is not me is not what i fucking want!!! Anyone can relate?

You have to be okay with the thoughts and get as comfortable as you can with them. When they pop up , be like “ that was an interesting/funny thought ! “ that way you take the seriousness out of it. By doing this you’d be training your brain not to react so intensely to the thoughts , because giving them a reaction is keeping you in the cycle of OCD. Unlike other things in life , they aren’t going to go away by putting up a fight against them. Nor will they go away by telling yourself that they don’t represent you , because that’s just reassuring yourself. You should tell yourself that you don’t know if they mean anything and you never will know , and that it’s okay that you don’t know.

One thing that help me getting over this crap was when I realized that the OCD isn’t me. Differentiate yourself from it . The OCD doesn’t define you, it just wants to scare you . you didn’t ask for this and Ik it can be hard . Also don’t try and push the thoughts away trust me it may be hard but the more u do this the less anxious and worried u will get and then over time everything will come back into place

@Gianfranco that’s great advice !

Yup I can relate
