i am also feeling really depressed lately, especially because i am in a relationship and it got worse while i’m in it. ocd makes you feel like you’re lying to yourself and it makes you cry and depressed. you can make it through this

Having similar feelings and I hate this. Im trying to not do compulsions and sit with the anxiety. The thoughts have subsided but the anxiety is lingering and I feel so shaky and scared. Its so confusing because now I have no idea how to get rid of the anxiety and calm down.

@hate_ocd.123 Yeah I felt like my brain had accepted that I was a lesbian and that I was going to break up with my boyfriend and I almost passed out I was so shaky. I feel like I'm drowning and desperately trying to survive. I saw where you mentioned you have been dealing with this for six years. It's been about two years where it's this intense for me. It went away for about six months and then came back. No idea why or how I even got rid of it. I just miss my life

But ive also had this for six years so when it gets too much i sometimes just shut off My ocd is just saying “if you accept it and stop fighting it you’ll finally be fine with being gay” And im like “but i dont wanna be gayor end up with a girl. I wanna eventually be with a guy. I dont want this.”

@hate_ocd.123 my ocd has been focusing more on me being a man when i am a woman. but when i first was struggling with soocd, i thought i liked thinking about women, and i found that if you feel disturbed by the thought and know that it’s absolutely something that makes you uncomfortable, then it isn’t something you want.

@anxious whenever i feel like i wasn’t supposed to be a woman, i feel sad and disturbed. ocd warps how you feel so you can never really trust your thoughts and even how you’re feeling. i found that by accepting the uncertainty brings you comfort, but sometimes, i still get in those moods where i am miserable and feel nothing like myself anymore

@anxious Even if i were to say im uncomfortable and it makes me sad, it feels like im lying But it does make me sad. Im so depressed rn. Im angry at everything especially myself and crying at least once a day. I hate it. Cause the worse part is how my ocd has now made me feel about boys, took my attraction away and now gives me feelings of discomfort, thoughts of “why would someone even like guys” or “why are guys even attractive,” but im more comfortable w/ the intimate / romantic thoughts (ALSO I HEARD THIS IS VERY NORMAL FOR PEOPLE WITH HOCD) and i hate feeling like that towards guys cause i want them and just wanna fawn over them and be boy crazy And w/ girls i get like my head heating up, groinal responses and just utter hell and feel like i fawn over them when i dont want to and get so scared and hate it so much Does this even sound like ocd or just denial? Im so scared and confused :(

hi i’m a lesbian! and i have known im a lesbian for a really long time and i have a sweet girlfriend of 1 year. it all started when i saw this masc lesbian come out as straight, after that i had my guy friend over and he’s a sweet guy and he was flirting with me (he didn’t know i was gay) im not sure but i panicked and my brain froze and i was like “do i like him”, ever since my brain has been over worked 24/7 for 2 months now and it’s spiralling constantly. im trying to control it but all these thoughts are so disgusting and my brain tries to put him and i in scenarios that make me uncomfortable and i feel panic and i hate it. i have always been comfortable being a lesbian and i still am comfortable as a lesbian, but i dislike these thoughts i have about him and men and i want it to be over. i do not want to experiment with men even tho my brain is telling me i do, i find it disgusting and i dread it, i have a sweet girlfriend and i want to be with her forever, i do not imagine anything with any men and i hate these thoughts. im scared of becoming bisexual/straight one day and i hate hearing sexuality is fluid. its a whole mix of comphet and so-ocd

Hi everyone I'm 18 and recently discovered i have soocd. I remember having random thoughts about men and it would make me feel uncomfortable and have bad panic attacks. Sometimes I would have to leave class bc these thoughts was messing with my head. And sometimes I would avoid men bc of this. I remember having a sex dream about one of my guy classmate and when ever I seen him I would have hatred for him. These thoughts keep on repeating over and over in my head to the point where I don't reaction to it. I don't if I'm slowly realizing im actually into men, but I still have this weird gut feeling in my stomach when I think about it. I really don't wanna lose my identity as lesbian.

hi everyone just wanted to share what i’ve been going through lately. i’m a 24f and im a masc lesbian. i’ve been lesbian for as long as i can remember. i’ve had crushes on girls since i was very young, my first kiss was even with a girl in pre school. growing up i was told it was wrong and didn’t even know what the lgbt community was or anything like that and as an adolescent i wanted to fit in with all the other girls and have a boyfriend or like a boy but it felt forced and unnatural. middle school was when i really discovered my sexuality. i had a crush on a girl and it felt so real and different. from then on i knew i was lesbian. since then ive been very comfortable in my sexuality and i should mention that i can admit when a man is attractive and have always been secure in that there was no other meaning behind it, that’s how secure i was. as of late ive had small triggers that made me question if i secretly liked men but id shut it down quick. i often get gender envy and if i were to find a man attractive it’d be because i wish i could look like them but then the fixation started where my brain started asking if this meant i liked them and it completely derailed me. ive also seen so many tiktoks of lesbians who are suddenly straight which added to my fear. it got really bad this last month where i started going on chat gpt for reassurance. my mind started imaging scenarios with men and asking if i was aroused or if i would enjoy doing things with men. it got so bad i would dread going to the gym. these last couple days have been okay ive been letting the thoughts pass but now that ive been more passive my brain tells me that it must be true that i actually like men because now my brain doesn’t feel anxious. i’m ts a continuous loop does anyone have any advice ?
