someone to chat to??

@AM.MG.23 how are you going at the moment ??

@milly.909 I'm okay at the moment but it does get harder at night. I'm safe though

@AM.MG.23 yeah i get that would you be okay if tell you what's going on for me ??

@milly.909 Of course you can

@AM.MG.23 okay so to start things if i go to an all girls school and as far as i know i'm a straight girl. i've always liked boys but i had this one friend who was super touchy i always had lingering thoughts about her but brushed it off. then one day about a month ago i really dive deep into my thought and had a panic attack. i've never seen girls as soemthing i'm attracted to. but recently everything is triggering me and i know it's just my thoughts but it's really overwhelming and i just miss having a peace of mind. i find myself checking for attractions towards my friends and making sure i don't like them in that way. sorry if that's a lot

@milly.909 Thank you for feeling safe to tell me. Intrusive thoughts are no fun we all know, they weasel their way into everyday life and common things we go through. Is there someone or something that can help ground your thoughts? Not necessarily to fight them but be able to find "what is true" in times of distress.

@AM.MG.23 not really at the moment do you have any tips for this that i can do alone ??

@milly.909 One tip that has helped sometimes is asking myself: "what are my morals?" , "before this overwhelming feeling/situation accured, how did I feel about the situation?" And/or "what is something I know to be true in this situation". These don't always work but it's something you can write out or talk to yourself internally about

@AM.MG.23 i'm not even kidding a day before the thoughts became obsessive i was obsessed with this boy i've liked for ages. and still currently i feel like i really liek him still and it cancels out the thoughts. so i'm just confused but thankyouu !!

@milly.909 I'm sorry you are going through this. OCD is an interesting one to tackle. But I believe in you and I believe good things for you.

@Jam&Butterfly hi! i'm really overwhelmed with my own thoughts at the moment and just felt like i needed to tell someone.

@Jam&Butterfly So i am a straight girl and i've always liked boys. i also go to an all girls school where i barely talk to boys so i rely on social media to stay in touch. i've never had thoughts about being lesbian but i'm friends with this one girl who is quite touchy and flirty. i randomly started really overthinking it and my brain tries to convince me i'm attracted to her. now i'm constantly checking for feelings with all my female friends. the thing is now i can't live my life like i used to im scared to go near most of my friends in fear i'm going to be attracted to them, i'm triggered by chappel roan and everytime i think a girl is pretty my brain freaks out and says i'm a lesbian. it's all so uncomfortable to me because one day i lieks boys and the next i was having panic attacks because my brain was telling me i'm in denial and gay.

@Anonymous goodluck on your flight, you can do this !!
