Basically it’s this thing on the asexuality spectrum and its where you feel sexual or romantic attraction towards someone but then lose it when they reciprocate those feelings. It feels like it would be the end of the world if it was and I can’t breathe I’m so scared, I don’t want to be like this

Not knowing what Lithosexual means I do understand where you are coming from past two months I have had many of the same thoughts and have had many loads of anxiety and fear

My main thing I do personally is make fun of it say he’ll yeah That’s what I am bring it out so you can compensate and you will end up not fearing not saying you will totally forget about it but it will help calm it

I’m so scared it’s real because I have been in scenarios where I’ve lost feelings for someone when they reciprocated and I’m scared that it will keep happening but there’s also been timed where I really wanted reciprocation

I feel so much anxiety and it feels so real and I’m scared it is real and I can’t breathe and I’m scared it’s not OCD and that I’m incapable of a relationship

Understand what the word worry means and label that in your head when it comes to mind

But what if it’s real

@Sophia17 It might be real. Trying to prove to yourself that it isn't is the problem. Acceptance of the possibility is the way out of the pain

@Sophia17 Then you need to accept that OCD will keep torturing you. I don't like the options. Believe me, I'd change it if I could. But like it or not, that's the choice all OCD presents us with

@Sophia17 You don't know. You have to decide to act like it is, do treatment and see if things improve
