I can't relate to any of the other symptoms that I had initially anymore. I dont know who I am

I get anxiety for both thoughts .

I lost my libido

And sometimes I don't get anxiety for neither

At this thoughts

I’m in this place too. Even though I was boy crazy before, I think I’m just asexual now bc I really can’t see myself with a girl and I can barely see myself w a guy now

I don't know what's real

and sometimes I feel like I have to smile.

Hey, @Someone shut up my brain- I don’t want to speak out of turn, but I think what Katie is getting at is that, often times, seeking comfort from the thoughts that are scaring us makes them worse because it reinforces the idea that the thoughts are anything more than just a thought. OCD plays tricks on us to get us to seek comfort and certainty, but the comfort we get is usually very temporary, and it actually perpetuates the cycle of thoughts and compulsions. I don’t think she meant that you are making it happen. I think it’s kind of like quick sand, the more you fight the more stuck you get. Just like quick sand though, there is a way out, but you have to learn the techniques (for example- ERP) and, if available, the right tools/support are always helpful. I hope my quicksand analogy is helpful. It gets better. @NOCD Advocate - Katie

What happens that changed? Did you change meds or something?

And it changed all of that? Wow. How are you at this moment

I am sorry you are going through this. That's how I am. I overthink everything and then my anxiety just goes crazy.

i know. same. i find comfort in my bf but it’s so confusing. it feels weird when i say that i like girls. it feels wrong. even late bloomers that figure out they are gay later in life always say they’ve had a fascination with girls all their life or certain girls, that was true for me but only with boys. i thought i was in love with a girl last year but i wasn’t in a good state of mind it almost seemed like i was getting mad and all this anger came out because i came out as bi. this girl just passed me in walmart and my heart dropped. i don’t even know what is going on anymore.

But it's ok if you do but if the anxiety comes along with it I've heard than it's just your ovd taking over.
