It literally started from a thought, all I said was “what if I’m gay” and then that’s when everything started ?

What does your false attraction feel like? I’m getting scared mine may be real.

It makes me uncomfortable, and confused especially cause the girl looks like a boy. What about you?

For me that’s what mine is like too. With your false attractions you feel like you may actually be attracted right? That’s how mine feel and it’s scary

@d_tm Yeah, it feels real but that's what OCD does. I guess we just both have to be strong

@DWLA Yes the attraction is scary sometimes I feel so alone bc not everyone gets false attraction. It’s crazy how real the attraction can feel although I obviously don’t enjoy the attraction. How old are you?

OCD does that, you need to learn to just accept the thoughts instead of fighting them. It's always a losing game with OCD if you try to fight it.

That's how I got over my intrusive thoughts, it caused me alot of distress and made me super uncomfortable but in the long run it will only benefit you

@pure093 You have to stop ruminating and just let yourself feel uncomfortable

You have to accept uncertainty
