Hey, I know exactly how you feel. But I want to say, they probably all do have thoughts they just act like they don’t. I have been friends with someone for 3 years who has had the same thoughts as me (hocd) for just as long, and we finally opened up to eachother about it. We both still stress about it. Trust me it’s a lot more common than you’d think haha. But I understand what it’s like to miss your innocence. I have hocd and I hate it, I don’t even know what to think about anymore when I’m not thinking about obsessive intrusive thoughts (they make me so uncomfortable and I hate them sm lol). But I’m trying to trust that it’s OCD and not actually me even if my head goes “what if this is actually you??” And I freak tf out but I sit there with it. And I completely lost myself when my ex completely left my life, but he’s back as an acquaintance now and we have small conversations and it feels like a part of me that I’d been missing is back as well as the new, stronger and independent version of me. I know how hard it all is, but try not to let OCD rule your life. I was like you the other day, freaking out. But I’m trusting what I want and that this is ocd and to not give attention to the thoughts (they scared the crap outta me lol) and just live my life. Hope this helped!

Hey, thank you it did:) although idk bout the friends also having thoughts part because i just notice how they still act like how i used to be and ngl, im jealous of that. And i also dont rlly think everyone has like thoughts.. they are just very lucky and im not, its just the way they get excited about little things or talk about their celeb crush or their future and i can see how much they still want it and how excited they are about it. If they had weird thoughts too, trust me they would sit there like >? and say: i dont feel anything anymore like, like i always feel like. But i get they might have weird thoughyd, everyone does but these just go waaay overboard like theyre in-sane i dont even know my brain is capable of this and i hate it so much bevause it makes me feel like im the one whos thinking this shit and like my thoughts define me and i dont want them too, i dont wanna be that weird girl who has mental ilness, who thinks shes gay and who doesnt feel feelings towards boys. I jusr wanna be a normal teen whos happy and cant wait to go travel and all that Like how i used to

@hocdgirlsummer Trust me rn I feel so in denial and like I would rather kiss a girl than a boy and that causes me so much anxiety and makes me want to cry. completely understand how you feel. It terrifies me lol to know that I may never be able to have a husband

@annehatesocd Yes same and its jnsane to think that i loved boys soo much once. What i “feel” for girls now is nothing like what i felt for boys, but if the feelings for boys arent even around, no shit i think im gay. Also sometimes i think boys r cute but it just stings me that i dont feel the same amount of love/attraction towards them as i did before this all happened

I’ve had this on and off since I was 13, but I know what you mean. I used to have crushes on boys as a little girl and would want them to notice me. I even kissed boys as a little girl and told one we’re gonna get married one day. Then I was sexually assaulted by a man and witnessed him sexually assault 7 other girl. It was always guys growing up and I thought of girls like my sisters. Literally I’d be like “are we sisters yet? Lol”. I legit when I was 12 remember starting to notice guys more and I came into my car and said to my grandpa “don’t tell my parents but I’m starting to notice guys more”. Then this hit and I hated it. Even in sixth grade I remember liking a guy at my cheer and having fun when me and this boy at school would tease eachother. But then on and off I would have this. When I was 15 it completely went away and I met my ex bf (the one I was in love with) and I fell so in love with him. I wanted him in all ways. The romantic love I feel towards him is more than anything that I’ve felt for anyone these past two years. I know it was true despite what ocd says because when I cried about him finding a new girl (he didn’t lol just long story for another day) I was sobbinggg. Yet, I’m a lesbian? Or scared I’m in denial about it? Hocd is the worse
