One thing for me is watching Men’s Olympic swimming and diving. The Speedos increase my anxiety, but I genuinely love watching the diving so I just sit and watch.

Hello I just need someone to listen , I’ve been conversing with my mom about this a lot, but since I’ve been talking to her I feel like it’s gotten better , I’ve had hocd for 2 months, and I know that I’m not gay or anything in between, I love women, I’ve always had , but recently I don’t feel like myself , I try to picture myself with a man but , whenever I do I get anxiety, and the same thing happens whenever I watch gay porn , I feel sick to my stomach every time I watch it , before 2 months ago I was always into women , always , I had girlfriends , and I still do , I have a beautiful girlfriend that I truly do love , but I’ve thought that dudes were good loooking , I’d go to the gym and be like ah , that’s a good looking man right there , but I know that doesn’t mean I’m gay because I’ve never wanted to sleep with a dude , and now that these thoughts are here I feel helpless , I’m scared to go out in public because I feel like I’m gonna be attracted to dudes in that way , but I’ve never had been before , SO ocd truly does suck , I don’t wanna feel like this anymore , thank you for listening

How do I know if I have OCD?
This list by ai gives a good summary of my symptoms. Does it resemble OCD or is it something else? 1. Compulsions (OCD-specific behaviors): • Feeling the need to flex or contract muscles an even number of times, equally on both sides of your body. • Needing to reverse actions (for example, if you roll your eyes or trace a line with your finger, you feel compelled to do it again in the exact opposite way). 2. Intrusive Thoughts (OCD-specific ruminations): • Daydreaming about people you care about getting hurt (e.g., school shooting, injury, or kidnapping). • Sometimes feeling like you might want something bad to happen to someone you find attractive—possibly because of a desire to help or save them, though it’s confusing. • These thoughts can sometimes provide a twisted sense of relief while remaining distressing and confusing. 3. Sexual Orientation OCD: • Experiencing confusion or doubt about your sexual orientation. 4. Contamination Thoughts: • Feeling like things are contaminated, especially after touching something gross. 5. Sensory Compulsions: • Feeling the need to smell your hand after touching areas like your ear or hair. 6. ADHD-like Symptoms / Additional Observations: • Fidgeting or moving your legs when standing or sitting.

Looking for positivity 😄
I’ve seen wayyyy too many negative posts on here (I totally get it)…but can someone please share some positive experiences? Doesn’t have to be so grand, it could be just that you achieved a small goal with your ocd! I don’t want to continue feeling drowned by this debilitating disorder. I want to see what has helped some of you! So we can all encourage each other! 😊

How does your perfectionism OCD manifest?
I haven't been able to read about experiences similar to mine when it comes to my perfectionism OCD so I was wondering if anyone had any "uncommon" experiences.
