You need to work on accepting uncertainty and not relying on responses. You are looking for reassurance in our responses and most of us won’t give it to you because we want you to get better. There’s only so much we can say without giving reassurance. Sometimes it’s easier to not respond and let you sit with the uncertainty. Don’t let what you do with not responding to people impact how you view people who don’t respond to you. It’s not in the range of any of our rights to assume anyone is in denial. We wouldn’t want it done to us, so why do it to someone else? We want to help you. It’s just hard to keep responding without reassuring especially considering none of us are in the full mental space for it.

Honestly if I was you i would take a break from the app if your using it as a compulsion. Also I would recommend getting some professional treatment as soon as possible, looking for reassurance is a compulsion and is like lighting a fire, sit with the uncertainty and your anxiety will beging to decrease.

To me, I’ve seen a lot from you in the past hour or so begging for a response, that is an ocd compulsion. I know because I have the same issue. I would google the same question for hours and hours. You feel you need an answer instantly to release some of the anxiety, but truth be told, it will only make it worse and strengthen your obsession at the end of the day. I can tell you to just try to accept the possibility of whatever it is you’re fearing. Sometimes I remind myself it’s ocd. (I’m good at recognizing when I’m having and obsession at this point) if you just try to accept and not react with mcompulsions, eventually the anxiety will simmer down. I promise!! 💕

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME TT (lowkey begging)
I told a few people on social media about my OCD, including POCD and how distressing it is. But everyone went quiet, then a few hours later I posted that I don’t support pedophilia at all neither do I justify it or am a pedo. Then someone replied with: “I think someone might take it bc u have such an obsessive fear of it u might have actual p3 do philic tendencies” I can’t do this anymore, I’m terrified to spiral again like a few months ago but I’m on the brink of doing it again. I’m shaking and stressing tf out I hate this so so so so so much

hey guys, i am really struggling
hey guys, i am really really struggling and i feel like crying. evry day i get this feeling of sexual attraction to the same gender, and i get those feelings even just thinking about it now. i hste them and want them to go away but they simply won’t and it has me thinking that this is just how my life is gonna be like. when i was fully healed or atleast thought i was healed from the false attraction and soocd, i still sometimes got that attraction feeling, and i would force my body not to feel it. i hated it and was scared of liking it so i would like stop breathing and make it stop. it was only ever occasional but this is making me concerned now too, because i still sometimes felt that feeling when i was healed. now currently my main trigger is masculine girls, but when my soocd first started i had no false attraction or attraction like this towards girls, and it was all just in my mind like saying, “don’t look at that girl or you’re gay.” there was one point in my soocd where i was worried about being attracted to my friends, but i am greatful in the sense of i know that that is not true and my main issue is the false attraction watching videos and i have experienced it once in real life too and i hated it. please lmk what i should do or even if you can relate. i am sick of feeling th is way, and i am a christian too so this makes it harder. i’ve tried everything like accepting it, or trying to even say to myself yes u do like it but it always just leads to me being scared.
