Hey! Any queer people on here with SOOCD? Whenever I try to talk about it with people I end up triggering them unintentionally, so I'm just looking for a community of people with which I can share. Thanks! (For reference, I have both sexual orientation and transgender OCD. I think I'm cis and bi but for a bit I thought I was a lesbian. Comp het kicked my ass most of my life.)

@Ope don‘t beat yourself up for being triggerd, like I already said, we didn‘t pick this horrible disorder and you‘re super brave for showing up everyday! Keep fighting <3

Also if you're one of the people who got triggered by me, I'm so so sorry. Please know that I support you and what you're going through. It's valid and tough and you're so brave and strong. I now see that I need to make my own separate space for as a SOOCD sufferer in the queer community. I've deleted a few past comments to avoid anyone else having negative reactions to them. Love you all and I've taken your feedback to heart. 🥰

@Ope Hey don't worry! Sometimes I feel invalidated when people act like comp-het isn't real, but I should still be aware of when my words are possibly upsetting and I wasn't. I didn't see your comment as "freaking out" I saw it as a triggered person informing me you were triggered so I could be more aware for next time, and I genuinely appreciate that.

@Ope I think it's a tough situation where our OCD reassurances almost invalidate each other. You're so valid too. Sending all the ❤

Hi there, I‘m straight with soocd but I just wanted to thank you for being so kind and understanding <3 it breaks my Heart that you feel like you don‘t have a space to share your story. It shouldn‘t be this way. Ocd is alredy so isolating, this Community should be a Safe Space for everyone. I saw the threat you‘re talking about and I won‘t lie, I also got triggerd but I just wanted you to know that you‘re so appreciated and welcome to share your Story on here and I’m pretty sure all the other soocd People would agree on that. It is not your fault that we all suffer from this disorder! Anywawys I Hope you find some People with similar experineces because I know it’s a game changer to meet someone you can truly relate to. All the best for your recovery!

All the best for you too! We have opposite sides of the same coin, it sucks that we end up triggering each other. You're amazing and I wish you all the best!

Anyway, if you're not straight and have SOOCD, or grew up loving your birth gender but now have TOCD, if you'd like to exchange social media or numbers or something I'd be down. This app is not the place for me to be sharing

Oh and I also just rememberd: there is a person called „Soup“ on here and they identify as a queer as far as I know and I think they had SOOCD too. Maybe you they are open to Talk to you about their struggles with comphet and SOOCD

Yeah, I no longer feel comfortable with queerness largely due to my gender identity OCD
