Happy thanksgiving! Gender has nothing to do with themes. Any gender could get any theme. You’re not the only guy ROCD, that’s for sure. I’m sorry you’re struggling with OCD. It can be hard sometimes. Do you practice ERP and ACT? It does help a lot. Maybe your girlfriend isn’t the one. The best thing you can do is expose yourself to the thoughts and accept the uncertainty.

I used to but since I’m no longer in the relationship all I do now is think about her and still go through the whole I still love her one moment and a few hours later I start to think I hate that bitch smh. It is what it is though bro.

I definitely had ROCD in my last relationship and I didn’t know it was a thing until I downloaded this app today. I used to cry at least once or twice a day about how distraught I was being with my boyfriend because I was stressing out thinking that he wasn’t the one. It took me over a year to stop constantly worrying about my relationship and tbh it didn’t stop until we broke up. I don’t want to bring you down, especially because I know you can overcome this in your relationship if that’s what you want. I understand how hard this can be and I’m hoping you find strength here ❤️

Well you can be rest assured that OCD does not discriminate. ? it’s a fair opportunity work place. Lol I had ROCD and slightly do with my ex. But I’m trying to push him out of my life.

...and all this is very frustrating :( I am feeling like it is the only option to brake up one day and stop struggling, however there is a thing that worries me the most - I was married 4 years ago and we divorced after 6 months of being a couple, the feeling was exactly the same. When this time I started feeling EXACTLY THE SAME I decided to fight

I’m a guy who has a type of ROCD, if I choose to categorize it like that. (I’m learning that OCD is just OCD, and it will latch on to anything one cares about.) My OCD has latched onto the fear that something sexual might occur between my girlfriend and another man. Even like walking down the street, my OCD thinks she might bump into, or brush against, someone, and something sexual might happen. It is sooooooo annoying. Beyond annoying, really. But with ERP, it’s starting to be just annoying, and not like an intense heart-break feeling every time. Ug, OCD.

Yeah, I understand what you feel. It happens sometimes to me as well. Interesting thing is that sometimes my brain is not so active generating OCD symptoms and I get into the remission for couple days.Also, I have noticed when my mom starts missing me (she is currently in Ukraine and I am living in Portugal) I am getting upset and this is causing new wave of OCD stress

Yeah, other stressful things in life definitely tend to make OCD symptoms increase. The only positive spin I can put on it is to say, okay, this is an opportunity to resist doing compulsions, in the face of anxiety, and thus put a little dent in my OCD. Sending good wishes to everyone on this thread, and everyone with OCD!

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

This is so extremely difficult, i’ve never experienced having thoughts of being a different gender. i’ve always been comfortable being a girl. i’ve always been a girly girl. this all started a couple months ago and it’s increasingly getting worse. i’ve had times where i didn’t like my body but i always thought i could just go to the gym and fix it, never did i think i wanted to be a man. ever since these thoughts started i hate looking at myself in the mirror, i hate looking at my body, i’m aware of my breasts all day everyday, i can’t look at pictures/ videos of myself. from the moment i wake up to the second i go to sleep i have these thoughts. i’m in a panic EVERYDAY. i don’t want to be trans but my thoughts are convincing me i do. i’ve never bat an eye when someone calls me a girl but now it’s like i’m aware of it which i hate. i hate that i’m having these thoughts & it’s convincing me that i want them & that i have to just come out and change. i want to be able to go back to being comfortable as a girl. this has left me feeling so hopeless and depressed, i can’t help but cry every day. has anyone else felt like their whole world was turned upside down?
