Nothing is wrong with YOU, you just have OCD! We get good at doing compulsions without noticing because it’s our brains’ way of trying to take care of ourselves efficiently. If you realize after the fact that you’ve done a compulsion, you can ALWAYS spoil the compulsion. For example, if you respond to a TOCD thought by trying to disprove it in your head, you can spoil that compulsion with a lean in like “that evidence doesn’t count, I’m probably just in denial.” I know it’s super difficult and frustrating when a theme comes back. The goal isn’t to make it go away completely, just to lessen its power over you over time. It will get so much better!

Idk what to think anymore. Like a month back I wanted to be th most beautiful girl I was doing self care. Now it's completely different. This is all over my head I don't feel feminine enough. 😭

@lolocd There's a good chance your stress made it harder for you to do self care and that triggered the thought that it was correlated. I don't know the whole situation, but I'd say to allow yourself to change your view on self care from a feminine activity to a time to step away from the worry and have a healthy distraction.

@lolocd Same tho, i sometimes like to dress more masculine and if I feel confident dressing masculine I’m like “OMG DO I WANNA BE A BOY”

@carlie Thanks for this but my OCD was so bad lately I could hadly move out of bed and I had zero energy so I stopped everything. 😭 Now I just don't feel like doing anything like I have lost interest and that's why it's becoming like a proof

@lilywaffles Omg same I like baggy clothes cause they are so comfy and trendy literally everyone wear but mind is making me feel I need to get rid of my girly clothes. my mom brought a pretty dress for me today. I wore and felt so good for a while but then felt like I don't wanna be in that dress. My uncle's shirt was kept on a chair and my mind went like you want this. Whyyyyy :(

OCD
I’ve tried living in the uncertainty today & kept myself busy but I can’t shake this feeling that I’m about to lose control & act on my thoughts. I keep feeling like I need to check in to see how I feel & keep my self safe & when I’m near my trigger it feels like I’m being pulled into doing it & feels like I want to but I’m not using compulsions. My thoughts feel like my own & feeling like I’ll be like this forever. Can someone relate or give advice 😩

2 nights ago I saw something on my phone and it has now spiraled into me scared of being trans or being gay because i don’t want to be… now i have a huge fear of what if i am gay and am attracted to woman or what if im not comfortable in my body and want to turn into a man. It’s freaking me out - my ocd always makes me question my character! Has anyone experienced this 😩

Relapse
Im struggling with false memory pocd sexual what if thoughts. I discussed it with three therapists. Did CBT and ERP. Ive been free of this intrusive thoughts for 11 months and now its back and i feel like at square onewith doubt. Redoubting things ive already did therapy on and disproved. I felt inner peace and fine for almost a year and now back to feeling stuck ruminating questioning whats real memory and whats false memory even though deep down i kmkw its false memory i have evidence against the thoughts and its so ego dystonic theres no proof as my therapist said.
