Except I have tried watching those type of tik toks but like I don’t know what are good thoughts to have while I’m doing it like I just perform compulsions in my head the whole time so I don’t know what to tell myself. Props to you though for getting yourself to do that!! Let me know how it goes after and I hope you are doing well
Yea that doesn’t sit right with me and scared me a little bit more
Instead of scrolling through many tiktoks, try watching the same one over and over. Pick an especially distressing one and watch it on repeat
also another one i have is the fact that majority of girls who are bi, the ratio of girls to boy that they like is like 95:5 but they still acknowledge and know they they wouldn’t mind dating a guy but me i know that i’m still very boy crazy and i keep telling myself that i’m not bi cus of that and i can’t stop FUCK. erp is so scary and hard, i’m so scared that when this is done i’m gonna end up being bi and like girls more so then i can’t have a boyfriend and i’ll have to date girls and have sex with them even tho i really don’t want to. this feels lile conversion therapy ??
@okaaaylisa Would you be willing to try ERP and acceptance on that fear?
I feel the exact same way
I’ll admit I don’t exactly.
a little advice- if you don’t know what HOCD is, don’t comment under post about it you should educate yourself instead.
@ocdear I’m working doing so now. I’m new to this app. Was trying to give some insight on my life to try to help someone who may need it. Unfortunately did more harm then good! Sorry about this guys.
@kfisher83 that’s totally fine it just happens a lot to me and some people do it intentionally to trigger people. it’s happened to me many times so i get kinda defensive. it’s good that you’re educating yourself on it now
@kfisher83 No it’s okay! We all make mistakes
I think it's fine to give feedback that you don't experience something. People sometimes need reminded that their experience isn't everyone's experience (even within a "theme") and that is ok. All experiences are valid. My hunch is that people who have a strong negative reaction to someone saying their experience is different were hoping everyone would say "yes, I have that too" and relieve the person's distress temporarily
@NOCD Advocate - Katie +1 on that. Saying you haven't had that experience or have a different experience may be triggering to some but it's not doing something wrong and doesn't mean they're ignorant.
Yeah I avoid going on tik tok for that same reason I used to love it but now it’s just triggering me all the time . I saw this one tik tok was about a guy coming out it said “ I always thought I was ugly , but I just realized I’m not my type “ it’s stuck in my head now. I’ve lost attraction to the opposite sex literally except for my boyfriend. I used always have crushes and think boys were cute but not anymore:(
trigger warning maybe so idk who knows andrea russett but she’s a youtuber and she just posted a video coming out saying she’s bisexual and it triggered me soooo much. like i’m so scared that i am when i literally have never felt attraction to a girl at all like that. any time i think a girl is pretty i automatically jump to that conclusion now. and i always have to check and look at her butt to see if i’m attracted to it. like social media makes it all worse too. i almost do it out of habit now which makes me hate myself for it bc i’m mistaking it w attraction but when i try to tell myself it’s just ocd my brain tries to twist it into thinking that i’m actually bi!!! it just sucks and i’m so stressed about it
I was trying really hard not to like google incessantly and go on Reddit and stuff but I caved and I went down this rabbit hole of watching tik toks of women coming out and like comparing/contrasting my experiences with them. How do you stop yourself from doing these things? Especially when it feels like you have to watch the videos in order to like, “figure it out” and whatever. SO-OCD is SO HARD especially when sexuality is so fluid anyway. It’s so frustrating!!
I wanted to look up videos of how to recover from Bi sexual ocd but it’s a theme I struggled w back in 2018 and it went away and ever since i was living my life and now it’s back … literally went from harm ocd to bisexual ocd and now I’m getting extreme false attraction and groinal responses. And I saw a TikTok girl saying she had intrusive thoughts about being a lesbian and she came out as lesbian 4 years later and I just can’t stop sobbing. I don’t wanna be attracted to girls I’m sorry. Nothing against them but I feel grossed and can’t accept it. I can’t even do erp because I cannot accept these thoughts. My third time w this theme- what if I’m in denial? Can someone please help me overcome this??
