I'm sorry I've been struggling for a long time too and feel the same way. You aren't alone. Keep trying and treating the ocd. I know it's so hard, try to just focus on the present one step at a time. I know it's hard.

Read your username. You hate ocd! Ocd is NOT YOU! You have to trust me on this. Please. Ocd is not you at all. We have chemical imbalance in our brains. THIS ISNT YOUR FAULT. Trust me please ocd is a monster! It’s not who you are. The reason why you are suffering because you don’t like these thoughts. You are suffering because you care! But you don’t have to suffer. You have to accept these thoughts as just thoughts

This is called False Attraction. You can look it up. It’s linked to OCD. It’s your anxiety, not real genuine attraction

Yes, absolutely. It’s literally your ocd that’s making you think these things. And the reality is it’s not true at all!!! You are so fixated on it. Believe me it’s not real even if it feels real, it’s all false attraction and your ocd just messing with you. You don’t have to suffer, life is too short. I recommend you seek help as soon as you can, but just know the fact you don’t want to be gay goes to show you aren’t gay at all.

I’m not quite sure if medication is good, I’ve heard lots of mixed reviews about it. In my personal opinion the best type of way to help fix this problem is to find a therapist on this app. I promise you. You aren’t your thoughts. It feels real yes, that’s because OCD gives a FALSE attraction. So yes, people who suffer from ocd, it’s normal to feel this! But it’s all your head, not you as a person.

it's gonna happen, expecting the worse case scenario at this point (vent)
i think i gave up, every time i try to calm down, practice self-compassion or accept uncertainty something worse happens that seems to confirm my event. it feels too, too real even now, it's getting worse with each passing day. i'm really scared, it's hard for me to enjoy the few good moments i have with everyone because now i'm convinced that i'm a horrible person, i know everyone will hate me when they find out, i feel like i'm lying to them. i'll lose everything. i feel like my life is genuinely ending, i'll lose all the good things i worked hard for.

i dont know if its gonna get better
since february i have "POcd". Initial symptoms were thoughts, but then I did a testing compulsion during an intimate time, and I spiraled ever since. I struggle with addiction to smut. I'm cutting that out, but I feel as if it is too late. Ive never experienced this much mental, and emotional anguish in my life. On my time on this application I have given advice to others, and helped around, but I wonder if that even applies to me. Millions of times I wish I could turn back time and be more careful. I want to prevent many things, including what led me to spiral into OCD in the first place. I'm surely having an OCD episode. I have gotten a diagnosis, but I'm still not sure. I feel evil, cause unlike many here, I tested on my body sensations and it backfired (twice) I know I'm not supposed to figure out why that is the case, but now I have to live with it for the rest of my life even if its something I don't desire. This is disgusting for me, it is abhorrent. I could've never seen this coming. Day by day I've become more fearful of living with this, "OCD". I was a normal person before this, I knew what I was attracted to, I know my preferences, so why did this come about? This is singlehandedly the most painful thing that has happened to me and I have nobody but myself to blame. I am scared of death but I also would'nt mind sleeping for years on end. My parents and brother were understanding of my situation, but I failed them regardless. I don't want them to see me this way, nor do I want them to learn more of my predicament. I'm cooked. I know it, Fin, thats all folks. I'm only 20 and I already have other diagnosed mental illness so I recklessly brought upon myself another one. Its agonizing to live through, I wish this on nobody, not even my worst enemy. I can't even identify myself at this point. Its tearing me apart.
