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

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 ??

a little advice- if you don’t know what HOCD is, don’t comment under post about it you should educate yourself instead.

@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

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:(

Hey guys, this last week has been pretty rough for me mentally for some reason. Today in particular I’m having a pretty bad episode. For some reason about 30 minutes ago, I randomly started remembering watching the Step Up movies growing up. I remember seeing Channing Tatum in that movie and think he’s attractive, along with some other men I think. Then I started to wonder if that means that I’m into men, because I somewhat remember getting a negative feeling about it from that young age. I looked up on Google if it’s possible to not realize your gay, and the ai thing said yes and started talking about something called latent homosexuality. It also so said that some people start sleeping with a particular before ever actually discovering their sexuality. This makes me want to take a panted homosexual test, or something. Lately I’ve also been wanting to dive into my past with my therapist to try to see where my “ocd” stems from (if I even have it) or if I’m truly gay and have just be conditioned to be straight. I’ve been spiralling guys and I need was honesty and wisdom. Can anybody help me ?

I feel like I want to be lesbian. I want to cry. I gave into compulsions and I went on lesbian TikTok. It feels like something I want to try and do and that I’d be happier. Why is it so real. I don’t want to be lesbian but I feel like I’m pushing down the truth. How do I stop giving into these compulsions and feel better, I can’t do this anymore. I don’t even remember being straight or liking men. I hate this.
