I’m not going to lie and tell you you’re going to be completely cured. But I’m going to say it gets so much better. I know everything feels bleak, but it can get like 99% better. The thing about OCD is you will have highs and lows, but you can kick it’s ass. You’ll get there. The mistake a lot of us make, me included, is living in the past. But we can’t go back in time no matter how bad we want to. So we have to move forward, take it day by day. You’ll get there eventually :)

I had this for a long time too. It means ur in recovery. Doubt about recovery is normal. But its so possible. I had untreated ocd for 14 years and I have been doing erp, accepting i could be and or do my worst fear, accepting i will never know for sure, and resisting comoulsions (mental AND physical compulsions) for 3 weeks now and I am already feeling so much relief! Relief I thought I'd never have.

Wow that’s great to hear! ...I’ve only done 1 full erp session but it just scares me and I feel like I’m not doing it right

Same. Stay with that bad feeling! You may or may not be doing it right. Accept the uncertainty and feel that anxiety driving that thought. It will eventually fall with time :) resist compulsions too!

I want my life back
I feel so sad, alone, scared and hopeless. Until two months ago there was not even the remote possibility of being anything other than heterosexual and now the idea that I could find out that I was lesbian or bisexual terrifies me to death. Everything was born from the fact that I didn't feel sexual desire towards my ex-boyfriend and I started to be afraid that it was because I was a lesbian... how can I be a lesbian or bisexual if everything was born from this? I would like to run away from myself and my head. I would really like to go back and go back to my life before. I can't take it anymore. I just want to live my life like before

I'm sorry if I keep posting I'm just scared..
Like I'm not even scared I feel numb and ever since that night I've completely went down hill Idk what to do the feeling i felt this time genuily felt like i liked it and i didnt even have anxiety at that moment and now I'm panicking I really hope this is still OCD like I'm sorry if I'm still asking for reassurance but im really worried like it felt good in that moment I don't understand what's going on like I hope it was a false feeling and not something real.....like this has happened before but Idk 😭😭😭😭 I really don't know what to I don't want to turn into a p word I don't this I've been sleeping all day I still do compulsions a little to get rid of the thoughts but I've been getting sexual thoughts too and I don't want them but I feel like I do I don't understand I though I was getting better but I guess every time I get better everything gets worse..
