Is there anyone who is struggling with sexual orientation ocd quickly reply and help me ?
Yes
I have severe ocd from past almost a year and it is still undiagnosed but when i got extremely anxious and started questioning my relegion and all that i came across philosophies and what not i was extremely exhausted to the point i thought are these feelings even real will i feel sad if something happens to.my family member and i got scared i started searching online youtube videos and i came to know that these were the symptoms of ocd as i had magical thinking ocd and health ocd before in my childhood as well but i didt know that it was ocd. In short my ocd changes themes deliberately i guess before this sexual orientation ocd i was dealing with severe seeveree existential ocd where i my ocd wanted to make me belive i was trap or i was in a stimulation once i stop giving a shit about it i thought i was free but my ocd latched itself onto my sexuality . Yesterday i was travelling and.i was feeling anxious as well and how i cop with my anxitey is i think about romantic stuff im into so i was thinking about it and it wasnt helping me as much so alot of doubts started to come in my mind like what if im not attracted to anybody like to no one then whats my purpose what am i even doing here in this world and then it started i started having doubts that what if i am attracted to female which i am not i mean i never felt any romantic or emotional relation to any woman and that thought went away and new came and it said im not attracted to anybody im just alone and i was distressed and now the second thought is repeating again and again and now brain is giving me evidences from my past experiences like one time i watched female porn and it says i am attracted to them (even tho my brain also used to give me sexual fantisies about animals and older men ) but my brian just wont understand i m extremely stressed to the point i am exhausted what should i do? .
I also have so-ocd and it's like this and it's torture (I don't know what to say but I guess I'm commenting to let you know you're not alone)
@Ms.shelovesfrogs Yeah im not alone but im scared
@Ms.shelovesfrogs Does your mind gives you proofs and evidences like that !
@feema Heck yes it does 😭 today morning I decided to stop feeding/fueling my compulsions and my mind is currently doing tricks and my anxiety level is like 📈
@Ms.shelovesfrogs What kind of evidences
@feema Mine were i used to watch female porn when i was a teenager
@feema But i also used to have sexual thoughts about animal and older men what does that all mean
@feema Mine is basically making any neutral situation that happened and making it seem like a proof.
@Ms.shelovesfrogs Like what can you please share
@Ms.shelovesfrogs It's annoying because I've never been sexually attracted to girls, I'm still not sexually attracted to them but my brain keeps on with the intrusive thoughts and compulsions ..it literally messing with me and making me think physical attraction is sexual attraction but it's not and I'm not in denial, I just don't desire girls but my brain won't let me rest
Almost as if my brain is being hypervigilant around them looking for signs
I im feeling scared asf my anxitey is at its peak and im shivering
Sorry about that(experienced this about two hours ago)
I just need to talk with someone about hocd…it feels so real and i feel like im lying to myself and have been in denial for my whole life. Please help it would mean alot🙏
So my ocd theme changed to sexual orientation ocd last December after I heard a popular video "hi, I'm Gibby" and I went like the Gibby sounds like "gay", then I started saying the phrase and over days, I started getting intrusive thoughts "I'm gay" .(I have had other ocd themes: (magical thinking ocd, symmetry ocd, health concern ocd, religious and spirituality ocd and harm ocd ever since I was 12, they just come and go)....I struggle with other conditions(ASD and bipolar disorder). I have never struggled with sexuality or questioned it because I have only liked males right from when I was in grade 1🥲...I still like them. SO-OCD is very frustrating because deep down I know I'm straight and there's no evidence I'm not but the intrusive thoughts and compulsions to get relief (the cycle) won't stop. I'm on fluoxetine(Prozac) and it did help my symptoms but lately I realised I'm more consumed with compulsions and idk but I think it's reducing the effects of the drugs?.. I see an attractive female and my mind goes like you found her attractive you must be gay or I want to go out and do sumn"what if you discover you like them or are gay" ...idk it's frustrating, very and I'm tired. I don't even get turned on by same sex or any😭that what even makes it more confusing.+ It's almost like I'm now hypervigilant when Watching videos or Instagram reels...it making me forget that finding someone physically attractive≠sexual attraction...idk if anyone gets me...(Rn my ocd themes are SO-OCD and religious and spirituality ocd) SO-OCD is frustrating, I'm tireddd...how can I never have struggled with sexuality for almost a decade and half but I'm having it now(it's started two months ago)...who has had/have this theme??
Hello everyone, forgive my bad English since it is not my native language, I have been suffering from OCD for 6 years now. It started with being afraid of harming my loved ones and soon it escalated. All of this leads us here towards sexual obsessions. I was abused many times when I was a child. I don't know if that had any impact on my sexual issues. so everything lead up to a intrusive tought of what would happend if i touch myself with a picture of your parents" and I ended up paying attention to the intrusive tought and i ended up doing what my intrusive tought told me so i said to me "OCD would make me touch myself for everything i loved so what, i would do it before the anxiety attacks" and I end up in a spiral of having touched myself by several photos of my family members, friends and even my own therapist all wanting to prevent future compulsions and anxiety now I only think about taking my life, I never wanted that to happen I am not a monster who has sexual desire towards my loved ones I fell under my own intrusive thought and the only thing I think about now is taking my life life for what I've done
