Why???
Why has all my other OCD subtypes gone away but this one (SOOCD) stays around 24/7!? Does that mean that’s who I actually am?

It’s my only theme and that alone stresses me out. I’ve had fleeting moments of thoughts related to POCD that give me a lot of stress, but SOOCD has stuck the most consistently, which makes me think it’s real. It’s to the point now where imagining a future with a man is so hard, and I hate it.
This is exactly how I feel. I feel like I actually don’t have any other themes and I’m just bisexual, and if I accept I’m bisexual I’ll eventually accept being a lesbian.
That's how I feel. March of next year will be 2 years. But I didn't just randomly get the thoughts, I watched porn and had fantasies that didn't align with how I identify. Trust me though, I get it.
@2022💍 Mine is 10 years 😭
SAME GIRL
Same honestly like this doesn't just go, and the groinal it's the worst, allthough I remenber saying yesterday that the groinal wasn't a big deal and that false atraction was the worse lol
It’s because you care about it so much that you constantly are obsessing over SOCD, so it sticks around. You cannot interact with OCD in any way, or else you risk it becoming your main theme. ERP and mindfulness are key to getting better. Are you seeing a specialist?
It's hard not to care. Especially when it wasn't only just " thoughts" for some of us.
@Nica I was but then she let me go because she said I had other issues that I needed to take care of before I see an OCD specialist
Why is it that you beat one OCD think, but another OCD thing comes up related to it, but the same theme?
It is not the thoughts or urges that scare me anymore. It is the way I feel like I’ve absorbed the compulsions into my identity :( I am doing them so automatically that it feels like I am choosing them freely and they’re me. and because of that, it feels like I AM the OCD now, not just someone with OCD. I think I’m just deeply trapped in a loop. I was trying to survive unbearable fear so I started scanning. Then I started pre-scanning. Then checking if I pre-scanned. Then I check how I feel during all that. I run to beat my OCD to the “punchline” (intrusive thought, urge, sensation) because I’m so scared all the time. So scared that I don’t even feel it anymore. I feel numb and all that’s left is this jittery residue and numbness. Now it’s all tangled together in a huge knot. I feel so extremely lost. I think this may just be meta OCD, but I’ve never ever felt so gone before :( I’m really scared.
I feel I have HOCD FOR MORE THAN 10 years now. Basically all my ocd started since me and my husband started dating for real…. Will it ever go away? Will I ever be happy? Will I ever know? I don’t know… How long for you? Edit for me it’s more SO OCD cause I think I’m bisexual
