how open are you about having ocd? for example do you share your subtypes/themes with people or someone your close with? I am starting to be more open about it with one of my former teachers that I still have a friendship with outside of school and I don’t know how specific or vague I should be. I want him to understand what ocd is and what I live with but also ocd themes can be taboo and uncomfortable to talk about. I have the same question for what I should tell my family.

@Bryan yea, I feel like my ocd hit me like a truck this year. it’s never been this bad. i’m glad you’re doing better, thank you for all the advice

@Bryan I get that, it’s ok...I bet your wife loves you. We can’t control our thoughts

@Bryan ok, I won’t listen to the groinal responses, thank you! can’t wait to chat again

@Bryan that’s good to know, i had an ocd episode last night and tried to find an answer through porn and it just made it worse

@Bryan yea, i have no idea. i’ve always had an attraction to males but now i’m like “what if i’m bi” and i ruminate abt it a lot to find answers

@Bryan ok, that’d be nice we can catch up tomorrow...goodnight
