Think about using acceptance commitment therapy when the thoughts happen. Act often helps with the RP in ERP

you just have to think that is it irrational. over and over. and then once you do it you realize that it’s NOT the end of the world whatsoever. i actually used to have the same exact thoughts about being gay, the thought of it was terrifying, petrifying to me. but once I was able to just say it to myself and accept it I soon realized that I wasn’t even gay, I was just too scared to even think about that possibly. and i’m still figuring it out tbh!! I might be bi? who knows? but it’s 2018, and there’s nothing wrong with that. trust me. find the people in your life that don’t care whether you are or not. and treat u no differently with or without it. you got one right here!:) Just let that weight off your shoulders, trust me, it’s so much nicer. Your OCD is just simply making it so much more complicated than it has to be, that is it’s job, after all ?

The common themes are worrying about harming others, harming yourself, worried about being gay, weird religious thoughts, scared you’re a pedophile....I’ve heard of people having disturbing thoughts about have sex with Jesus (which bothered them because they’re religious).... I had thoughts that omg what if I’m gay and I would be scared to see an attractive woman....one time I hid all the knives in my house...if you’re having these thoughts than tell yourself it’s my OCD. For me my OCD thoughts seem so real and they’re so magnified....when I was little one time I kept saying “my mom is a bitch” in my head and it bothered me so much I confessed to her....nowadays I just obsess about the past... I have no idea why my brain made the switch in themes. But I don’t know...these days I tell myself if I have a bad thought and it’s really bothering me and I feel like it’s the end of the world than it’s probably just my OCD. Unless I find out I’m dying, someone I love is dying, or it’s the end of the world for real then I know most of my troubles are just ocd. This doesn’t always work right away because I get easily lost in thought but eventually a light bulb goes off and I think yep it’s my OCD. I’ve had this illness most of my life so I speak from a lot of experience ?

And I’ve said this many times with people who have ocd, if you are having disturbing thoughts are you find them really disturbing and it bothers you than that’s a good sign. Because psychopaths “enjoy” they’re disturbing thoughts...because they have no conscience.

I struggle with rocd, and a big intrusive thought that I have is that I’m no longer in love with my partner. I am going through a depression right now, and I am struggling to feel any kind of passion towards anything at the moment. I am withdrawing from the people I love because I just feel like I want to be alone. When I’m with people I just feel exhausted by it. I guess my question is, has anyone ever felt like this from depression? Does it take feelings of love and attraction away? I can’t tell if this is my ocd or depression or a combination of both. But it’s starting to impact my relationship which makes me panic because losing it is my worst fear.

Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please
