Because you are overattending. Men are also attractive. And finding someone attractive doesnt mean you are gay. So you cancsay that, ut never happened before. Yeah, it didnt. But because you never thought about it. Now you try to avoid finding men atrractive. Dont do this. Just dont care about it. If you try avoiding thinking about elephants are attractive ( it wont work for you, beacuse you will find it silly but someone can have that kind of obsession) you will them attractive. Don't worry, you are just overthinking and attending. All bcz of OCD
Hey brother I was watching a video by Christy hodges yesterday who also has ocd and is an advocate. She said we notice more things based on our theme because they are kn our radar so if you have harm ocd u tend to notice every news story about harm, every show with harm in it stands out more, so since you have hocd you are noticing every penis because its on your radar and it's not your fault. Your brain has a glitch. Hope this helps and that you start to feel better
Chrissie Hodges has the best videos. Not to tell you to seek reassurance but she has a great way of explaining different themes and OCD.
I noticed a guy was attractive. And my mind went thats the kind of man i would go for 😞
So what? If your brain tells that you are fish, would you become fish? No.
Bro its okay. U need to seek a ocd specialist brother. I know its hard and tough but you can and will get through this have some compassion for yourself. Get the help you need my friend. Praying for you bro.
No mate lol. I just cant take this shit anymore
Man, you really have tp cut compulsions. You use that app for conpulsions too :(:(:( sorry for you
R u seeing an ocd therapist? I highly recommended it.
Not a specialist. But ive started cbt and going to be doing exposure ?. And im on 60 mg of flouxetine now
Thats good. I know u say the flouxetine isn't working like it once did that happens u need to talk to your doctor hopefully its a psychiatrist because they are more knowledgeable.
Ive only ever been on 20mg and it worked well for me before. Im now on 60mg so hopefully that will help. I know sometimes it can take months to feel better everyone is different i guess ?
How can i be constanly thinking of men. I just dont get this. I feel like if i go ok im gay its not going to change anything because its not what i want and i dont want the thoughts to be there ?😞
the worst thought i get is “i can see why people are attracted to men” when i see a picture of an attractive man. to me that just sounds like i’m a closeted person who doesn’t know herself . like that’s exactly what i would say to myself before i realized my attraction to women. does anyone relate to thinking something similar like i can see why people are attracted to a certain gender? also i love u all but if ur straight please don’t comment on this asking me to tell u if ur gay. i can’t do that. i often don’t post on here using male specific terms because i’m afraid of that happening.
So now it's switched to sending me images of women either doing graphic sexual acts on each other, or doing them on me! (Followed by a groinal response). The content is starting to bother me less, but the sensations I get after these thoughts (grounal), is what worries me?! I have never had a desire to "experiment" with woman because women are only aesthetically attractive to ME, its never really been sexual. So WHY do I keep sexualizing random women on the street?! On top of this, I feel like I've been noticing men less since this started about a year ago.
