I hate saliva hyperawareness
I was just washing myself down there, and as soon as I got done the hyperawareness kicked in, and it made the usual amount feel so excessive, I’m so tired of this

I did this a lot. This was actually one main things that started my questioning & spiraling. Just know it’s ocd. Also idk how we are supposed to be like oh I accept the what if I’m attracted. My brain needs certainty. I’m at the point no matter what is happening I’m just gonna be like ocd. I’m so tired of spiraling everyday. I’m not doing the what if and accept it. I don’t like men no matter what my body does. I’m sorry you’re going thru this. I feel your pain.

@Anonymous Yeah it’s horrible, accepting uncertainty is easily the most difficult part, after 5 minutes of saying “maybe maybe not” there I am again googling and reassurance seeking. I hate this saliva thing so much, it kicked in a couple weeks ago and ever since it’s been hitting me like a train, to the point where I have dreams about it and then wake up with an uncontrollable feeling of constantly needing to swallow, it’s up there with groinal response for being the worst part of OCD, I know I don’t like men, and never have and never will, and I know it’s all OCD because when my OCD isn’t on one none of this happens, but the OCD just screams for certainty when it’s physically unobtainable, I try to say “maybe I’m bisexual maybe I’m not” but all it results in is me getting angry and more anxious

@Fcukocd I feel you. I know they say to the maybe. That’s not working for me at all. It messes with my head. I’m just gonna try saying that ocd. I don’t care what my body says I like women. I’m tired so I know how you feel. Saliva and swallowing is the worst. I’m pretty sure I’m not drooling over anyone and I feel nothing for them. Just know you’re not alone and it is just ocd symptom.

@Anonymous Yeah, wish it didn’t happen and I wish I’d just wake up one day and the OCD be gone, it’s happened in the past where it just disappeared, and I wish every day that it will happen again :( for all my life I’ve only ever been attracted to women like you are, and then when the ocd kicked in it’s like bam, overwhelming doubt for no real reason aside from intrusive thoughts, it’s horrible, and yeah, I try my best to just think of it as an ocd symptom, though sometimes it’s easier than others, most annoying part is after a couple hours of the hyperawareness I’ll start noticing that there actually is more saliva than usual

@Fcukocd Yeah it’s hard because it’s not taboo and could possibly be true to be attracted to men but the kicker is we are not and that’s why hurts so much. My pocd disappeared on me. I’m praying it this does to. I’m just gonna tell myself it’s a condition and I’m not gonna do the what if anymore. I’ll try keep you in the loop if it works if I see your posts on here.

@Anonymous Yeah it is, and my POCD disappeared on me as well and then the SOOCD took over, the one that always comes back is the SOOCD and it genuinely is killing me, and thanks, hope it does work for you

Hyperawareness of My Body
Hey there everyone, first I would like to say I am very grateful for every single one of you on this platform and it feels so much better knowing that I can be heard. I’ve been hyperaware of my swallowing for 1-2 month. I feel like I have so much saliva in my mouth and I have to swallow and swallow. I feel the urge to swallow even I don’t NOTHING in my mouth, so I just swallow air. This has been really overwhelming and I feel like I can be so easily latched to other body part of my part. For example, I was conscious about my blinking and breathing for a few days, and now I get so anxious when I heard a weird sound my ears make after each sentence I speak. Is this somatic ocd or health concern ocd? I am so helpless and having a hard time to shift my attention. Does anyone have any suggestions or just words of encouragement would really help me at this moment. I REALLY appreciate your help. 💗🙏 Thank you !

is this hyper fixation off
i’m not trying to ask for reassurance but is this ocd? I’ve had religious OCD Harlow city and pure OCD before and I’m still going through it but basically today I was putting on lipgloss and it got into my mouth and it was like a overwhelming flavor. It tasted gross and then I choked on my spit and I have a sore throat right now, but I choked on my spit and ever since that it feels like there’s so much saliva in my mouth and it feels like hard to like catch my breath like the feeling you get when you’re like, gasping for air after choking that’s kinda how I’m feeling without like the gasping part but it just feels like I’m like swallowing on command and I’ve had like breathing fixation before so I don’t know if this is just like fixating on my swallowing but it’s bothering me and I don’t know if it’s cause I have a sore throat but yeah basically kind of feels like I’m drowning like inside my mouth like there’s just like so much saliva in my mouth and like I have to swallow like every second and I just feel like I can’t breathe when I swallow for some reason kinda
