Calm down. Stop posting. Turn off your phone. Dont let this win. Watch s show or movie you enjoy. Read a book. Do something to take your mind off it. Your going to be ok

You’re compulsively posting every day looking for reassurance. It’s difficult, but resisting the urge to engage in compulsions is ultimately what will free you to move on. Posting every time you have anxiety or a thought you find uncomfortable is just reinforcing the obsession.

Thats the lie. Were trying to help. You are in crisis, we want to help. Posting and constantly bringing it up wont help

Deep breaths buddy.. Just think of this. If that is who you really were, you would be at peace.. You wouldnt be stressed and anxious.

@needhelp5588 You need to talk to someone. I think there is a free call on here. Or find someone that specilaizes in ocd. Your going to be ok. Take a deep breath.

Listen, there is no cure to this. There are solutions. You need to figure out what triggered this and how to cope with it. Dont react to the issues or try to reconcile your thoughts, they arent real.

It wouldn’t be your life over though. Plenty of gay men have relationships with their children, ex wife’s etc. The fact here is that you are not gay and that is why these thoughts terrorise you. If you were gay your emotional response would be totally different.

I just doesnt seem right to me being gay i dont want to be romantic with a man. But obviously when i wrote that my brain was like yes you do 😞. How would i react then ?. I just want to have a nice christmas with my family but the future looks shit for me. I keep thinking of scenarios where i come out 😞

Sure. And we all can empathize with it. But if you want to get better, you’ve got to focus on habits that will make you better. Things like reassurance seeking and other compulsions won’t do that.

Thing is i dont know what my compulsions are other than this. I try and think of womens bits but i always get a negative feeling like eww and it makes me feel like shit

I’m sure you’re ruminating, analyzing, comparing, checking, etc.
