Sit with the uncertainty. No one on this app is inside your mind to know so you have to learn to sit with the uncertainty of what it means or could mean otherwise you’ll never get better

not to reassure you because by doing this i am myself seeking reassurance, but i guess it's SOOCD? because i get it too, i would be imagining scenarios to see how i would react and sometimes i don't mind it, or it feels like what i want and feels so real but like OMG I DON'T WANT THAT i don't want to be with women so i guess it's ocd, actually i hope so because i fear that i'm in denial but then i have seen so many other peoole on here with this theme and plenty of others saying that their fears sometisomes seem so true and as if it's what they really want so yeah i guess it's ocd

As a person with SOOCD, this is definitely something I have done before, and it creates so much uncertainty and anxiety that you get stuck, and any attempt at rationalising leads to nothing, and you’re still stuck on whether you would like to go on a date with a girl. I can conceive of a reality where I’m happy and enjoying something that in actual reality, I wouldn’t, for example - I don’t like running. (Of course I can learn to like running, but for the sake of this example - I don’t like running). I can imagine myself running in a field in complete bliss, but in reality, I would not like to run through a field, at least in this point in time. Your imagination can create anything, but that doesn’t mean it’s reflective of reality. And with my example, I don’t feel like testing it out if I would like to run through a field. Of course, there is a slim chance that, if I test it out right this minute, I could find that it IS blissful, and I do really love running through a field. But, I’m gonna live with that uncertainty, and that’s okay. Hopefully that was helpful!! And yeah, the thought could have something to do with the friend situation.

Im a 21 year old female in a straight relationship with the best guy a girl could ever ask for. About 2 months ago, I went to get coffee with a friend and as I dropped her off, I got a “weird” vibe from her and the look she gave me which lead to the thought of “should I kiss her”….Ive never had a thought like that before and I never have ever wanted to kiss another girl. I have also never had a desire to be with another girl (sexually or romantically). Now though, I have had one other experience of being with a different friend going to get lunch and it felt weird. Ever since then I have been on google non stop with hundreds of different searches, questioning if im lying to myself of my boyfriend, wondering about my past relationships even though Ive only dated boys, been attracted to boys, crushed on boys, etc… boy crazy! Reading on other forums has been a big thing too or doing quizzes. I believe its SO-OCD but im so scared that what if its not. I am in therapy and actually had two weeks of not even thinking about it or googling it until yesterday. I dont know what to do.

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

people who have so-ocd, do you feel like you’re lying to your partner secretly. i don’t know why i get these intrusive thoughts but my mind continuously keeps making scenarios where i will leave my girlfriend in the future for a man. i want to stay a lesbian forever and i don’t want to hurt my girlfriend and it makes me so upset that my brain makes these thoughts up. i really hate all these thoughts and i don’t want to be with a man, i don’t want to be attracted with one, i don’t want to like one or anything related to one.
