Yesterday was tough and my themes were constantly entangling. Also, PMS was thrown in the mix. I read a super triggering blog (on a scholarly website, UGH) about someone with SOOCD that was also bi/pan. I got off of my hamster wheel pretty quickly and was proud of myself for that. However, then my boyfriend and I got into a little tiff and while we resolved it.. my ROCD flared up and started shoving all these doubts in my face about our relationship and my happiness. I got over the panic.. but I felt separated and emotionless the rest of the day. But I made it to today and it’ll be better.

Can you link that scholarly article?

Unless you want an exposure I would avoid. It’s a blog (so it’s just a personal experience)

For Clarification: I identify as Straight and this was an article written by a woman who now identifies as Bi/Pan and also has SOOCD

@KEW915 okay just to clarify, it was someone who had SOOCD about being gay and then they actually ended up being gay?

@KEW915 I think I will use it as an exposure, if you don’t mind linking it

@doloresguppies If you look up “iocdf Double Invalidation” it will show up

@KEW915 Okay so I read it and it’s exactly my story to a T...I grew up Catholic, this obsession started in 7th grade, I’m 19 now....I feel like I’m going to vomit
