i juuust posted something similar to this and it’s one of the thoughts/obsessions that messes with me the most. i haven’t felt in the mood for sex with my boyfriend almost at all since it started over a year ago and a lot of times it doesn’t even feel like anxiety to me either. it’s such a confusing thing and I’m so sorry you’re going through this but it does make sense that if you keep overthinking something (sex with your boyfriend), it will be harder to achieve and make you feel stressed and therefore not in the mood... sorry if the ending didn’t make sense it’s hard to put into words for me but just know you’re not alone!

Thank you so much. I’ve been beating myself up so much lately, I feel so sad and just not good. Worst part is my boyfriend isn’t supportive of me and how I feel.

@advice? I tooootally feel you! broke down about it today because we had a lil sexual moment and I kept checking to see (sorry if TMI) if I was wet down there and I wasn’t because the whole time I was sooo in my head about the whole thing and so I just started crying and kept trying to talk to him about it but I guess he just doesn’t think any of it is as big of a deal as I do. it’s super hard when you’re with someone who doesn’t deal with the same thoughts, obsessions, compulsions, etc as u do. it totally makes sense for u to feel sad and not good, i feel the exact same way and I’m so sorry you’re going through this. it just feels like everything (the relationship, me as a person, everything) is doomed.

@rlr Yes he never understood my obsessions and it really just sucks. I used to check a lot when it make to being sexual, but now I don’t even feel like doing anything sexual. It really just bums me out because I was never like this but also it makes me feel like crap. Like if something is wrong with me? So it’s really crappy. But I sucks because it almost feels like there’s no explanation as to why I’m like this and that’s the worst part you know. But I mainly deal with hocd at the moment.

@advice? ohh yeah okay sometimes hocd and rocd go hand in hand they do for me. yeah that’s super annoying and uncomfortable for him to not understand you but i guess we can’t make people understand us if our brains just work differently. like a non ocd brain just doesn’t get it. it makes sense for it to make you feel like crap, it makes me feel the same way :/ it’s honestly one of the (if not THE) worst things i’ve been through

@rlr Yes I had rocd which lead me to hocd, but I’m mainly going through hocd. But yes it is annoying but I understand why they wouldn’t you know. If I didn’t have it I wouldn’t either, but that’s okay just asking as they respect it. But he doesn’t so that’s what sucks.

@advice? yeah I totally understand that, it’s super inconsiderate that he doesn’t respect it. what sorts of things does he do to make you feel disrespected about it if u don’t mind sharing? and no problem! talk all you want because it honestly helps me a lot too to talk to others who are going through something similar

@rlr Well he knows about my last obsession, that was thinking he’d murder me and it caused me major anxiety and terrible thoughts just like any obsession. But it lead me to break up with him. He’s been really selfish about it thinking he’s the only one who suffered when I did as well. So he just calls them dumb and calls me selfish for it. As for the thoughts I have now, he doesn’t know. But me not being in the mood because I’m sad or something. He kinda Just gets upset with me or just upset at it. That to me hurts me, because it makes me feel uncomfortable and disrespected because he doesn’t understand. Or he just won’t stop bringing sex up and that’s like pressure. Hope this made sense lol.

@advice? okay I see, my boyfriend kind of used to put blake on me because my obsession has been around us having sex so one time after sex I kinda freaked out and cried and told him idk if I’m attracted to him which made him super insecure so he’s kinda blame me for that because I got super depressed after that and he’s like u hurt me too why should I have to take care of you right now??? that’s so uncomfortable and gut wrenching for someone you love to act that way and I totally understand that dynamic. and I totally feel the discomfort of trying to make excuses in order to avoid sex, I’ve been doing it for over a year now lol. If u don’t mind me asking how old are you guys? my boyfriend and I are 22

I've always found women pretty and admired them since I was younger, never wanted to be with them or anything. I always pictured having a boyfriend and my crushes were always boys. I have a boyfriend now but because this has happened I feel nothing towards him or any men. To be honest I'm so exhausted I don't feel much at all, there was so much anxiety at the start and now there is none. Does that mean I have accepted the thoughts. My mind keeps going you were suppressed all these years but I do find women pretty so that's what's making it worse. Am I just in denial and being delusional? I never doubted my sexuality before this I always considered myself to be straight but I feels like my mind has been twisted and can't remember any attraction to guys but can remember thinking girls are pretty? Does this mean it's all real? I don't know anymore

I feel sick to my stomach, a few days ago I knew I was straight and could picture my life with my bf again. The anxiety has really lessend and Im more depressed now. I'm 100% convinced I am lesbian even tho I have never had sexual attraction to women, found them pretty but never wanted to be with them. My mind is only picturing me being with women now and it feels like a pit in my stomach. I don't feel emotion now, I'm also on my period. I don't want to be lesbian. I want to be with my boyfriend and have the life I pictured with him. My memory is so dissorted right now. I don't think there's anything wrong with being lesbian, it's just not for me and now that makes me feel like I'm homophobic.

I don’t know if it’s SOOCD. I no longer feel anxious in the moment when I think about women, and it’s like my imagination wants me to think about it and get aroused. I don’t want to be gay, but maybe I am after all. In my life I haven’t been so sexually driven before (when I was living with a man, or when being single) but now all I can think about is having sex with a woman. I don’t want to, but somehow my body does and it feels like my mind have changed to accept it to.. feel so sad This all started around 4 weeks ago..
