Tbh (I also have this theme) you would never go back to pre-ocd self. It’s okay to grieve that. You’re now more disgustingly self aware but you would become more refined and capable of dealing with whatever ocd throws at you. That being said, let’s check why your ocd is getting worse. Is it stress or you find yourself engaging and drowning in compulsions? Lemme know so I can tailor the advice

@Fcukocd Take a step back. If someone else was telling you what you’re telling us, what would you tell them.

@Fcukocd You’re in a cycle that only you can break. I sincerely believe and mean it when I say that you are not the thing you’re afraid of.

@Fcukocd It’s hard to take the advice that’s it’s just ocd and anxiety because ocd has it’s sneaky way of creating a tunnel vision during a spiral that makes us forget it’s ocd and dwell on what if it’s true. I no longer struggle but experience this theme and some days i am thinking like what if it’s true. Don’t beat yourself too hard. It takes time and effort to get to start catching ocd whenever it’s spiraling

@Fcukocd Having a groinal response doesn’t mean that you’re attracted to that gender. For me, I have groinal responses to pretty much every aspect of my anxiety/ocd. Things that aren’t even sexual in nature. It’s a miscommunication between your brain and your groin and it’s not a reflection of your sexuality. I know that reading all of this won’t change your brain, but maybe it will allow you to extend yourself some grace.

Take some deep breaths. Try to ground yourself as best as possible. Once you’re comfortable remind yourself that you are not in complete control of your thoughts. Your thoughts are not a reflection of who you are. And you will get through this. I truly feel for you and know what this is like. I’m sorry, but you will get through this. I am proud of you.
