Yeah I have felt that when going out places recently. Like my mind wants to completely switch how I have felt for all these years. Then I just feel sad. Has this affected your self esteem/self confidence at all? I feel like it definitely has affected mine.

@hate_ocd.123 Yeah I have noticed that I don't feel as confident in how I look anymore. I will look at a girl and think she is pretty, I wish I had the confidence to wear that but then my mind tells me that you think that because you like her and it's your attraction to her

@Mak46 This is exactly how I feel. Iâve been having ERP and itâs sort of a last hurdle of mine. Just accepting that people can be pretty and that that doesnât mean you are gay⌠itâs like my mind has forgotten who I am.

@clomai Yeah it feels like my mind has forgotten who I am as well. Is there anything you have done during erp that has helped you the most?

@Mak46 Iâve just been throwing myself into it full steam ahead. And it got worse before it got better and then one day there was barely any anxiety it only took around 5 weeks⌠the thoughts are still distressing but I just do the ERP.

@Mak46 There are good days and bad days and you know, my mum once said to me, not everything is because you have a mental illness, sometimes things are just sh*t and itâs okay to be upset about it.

@clomai Okay, thanks! I think I will try to do something similar. That's good advice

I feel so different from others
I feel different from others, I donât feel as feminine and I feel like Iâve changed. Iâm not sure why I feel this way. I also donât think my ocd is ocd, itâs just something I told myself to feel better. I know! What if I am what if Iâm not, I get it, but I donât feel like i have a choice in the matter anymore. I have soocd and itâs eaten me alive for years. I woke up out of my sleep and got triggered and here I am. I donât know what I feel anymore. I always wanted a boyfriend and now It seemed to change. I donât want a girlfriend, itâs just that I donât see anything for myself and I feel like Iâm hiding. Itâs hard to explain. Plus sometimes the way I move or speak makes me feel more masculine and it kills me. Im feeling so lost and alone right now. I know what I want deep down but I feel incapable of having those things because I wonât be able to have feeling. If that makes sense.

Please help
I feel like I want to be lesbian. I want to cry. I gave into compulsions and I went on lesbian TikTok. It feels like something I want to try and do and that Iâd be happier. Why is it so real. I donât want to be lesbian but I feel like Iâm pushing down the truth. How do I stop giving into these compulsions and feel better, I canât do this anymore. I donât even remember being straight or liking men. I hate this.
