i saw it. i feel so bad being part of the soocd community and then people forgetting queer people are apart of it. i feel so bad that there’s queer people who don’t feel safe on here when they should
I'm part of that community too! People with SOOCD don't bother me, I know it's not homophobia. It's people who write two whole essays about being happily homophobic that bother me
You are 100% wanted and I know the post you are talking about. I’m sorry you feel this way but people with that opinion are ignorant. sending love to you
Thanks 😊
Oh my god, I’m so sorry. You deserve the respect everyone else does. You are absolutely safe and loved here. Having SO-OCD is no excuse to be homophobic. Sending love. 💛
Thank you ❤
I don’t care what or who anyone is, if you’re here we are all the same,human and looking for answers and help
Thanks for the support ❤
You and other LGBTQ+ are most definitely wanted and welcome. I think OCD sometimes leads those afflicted to strange feelings or conclusions as they attempt to heal. It's usually alright to talk about these emotions and thoughts, but if they contain content that could be hurtful to someone, it's better to save it for the next therapy session.
Yeah. He made two posts about how he's always been happily homophobic growing up. Cool.
report it to nocd or use support chat
Thanks, didn't know i could do tha5
You are wanted here! 💜
Thank you
you are just as much a part of this community as anyone else. ❤️ as we all used to say, haters gonna hate !
Thank you, all of these messages feel like a hug
We are here to support! You are wanted! There is also an option where you can block people so you don’t see anything from them! Might also be a good idea!
Lol I reported. Thanks so much
I'm also a queer! You are welcome here!!
Hello☆
@Kaylaaaa Hi!
I’m 59, somebody please tell me what SOCD is, and comphet, excuse my ignorance lol
Guys I will be leaving this app honestly I don’t feel safe here I’ve been lied on and reported and attacked even though I’ve been trying to help others and keep everything positive sadly I kinda feel I’ve been unjustly judged for something I didn’t even do and I’m a black woman so it come from a deep place when people just lie and attack me thank you to others for being kind ♥️
So I haven’t been on this app in a while. But I just want advice on how to overcome this. I’m now 18 and I’ve been trying out dating apps. I’m not gonna lie I’m kinda picky when it comes to dating only because I plan on dating to marry…so I take it a bit more seriously. But for some reason it’s so hard to click with people on these dating apps. So my friend was helping me through this dating apps process. I told her that I wasn’t interested in this guy I was texting anymore because of the way he was responding to my messages. And she says maybe you’re gay…this is honestly the sixth time (I’m definitely over exaggeration but this isn’t the first time someone had said this to me) someone has ask/said this. Every time someone says this it literally sends me down this spiral of are they seeing something I’m not seeing. Despite never having a crush on a girl my mind goes down this loop of overthinking. And when I say I don’t want that lifestyle or I don’t really find pleasure in being apart of the lgbtq community my mind is like in denial. I just wanted to have a fun teenage dating experience and now every time I open the app I always think what if I really am gay and I’m just in denial…or what if the reason why I’m not connecting with anyone is because I’m really into girls. Since i’m also religious, my mom wants to go what you’re denying who we are because of your religion. And I tried to reassure myself by saying I would know if that was the case like I would feel deep down who I’m truly attracted to and know that I’m trying to cover it up by dating men. This whole thing is so mentally taxing because I was going through this all throughout my senior year of high school and I’m not going into my freshman year of college so. Like I literally felt so much anxiety next to one of my classmates who was gay and a masculine presenting. I feel like if I would’ve told this to anyone, they’d say of course you’re in denial. But ig reply if you can relate
I don't usually post on here because it could end up becoming a compulsion or could be seen as reassurance seeking but I think I just need a place to vent and to also get some encouragement and peer support. I am really struggling with my intrusive thoughts and feelings today. All of it feels extremely real and convincing. Right now, I feel thoroughly convinced that I have already identified as either a lesbian or bisexual. I have been diagnosed with OCD by both a psychiatrist and a psychologist years ago and I still feel convinced that it isn't OCD. I keep feeling as if I am just using OCD as a cover-up / as an excuse to deny my “actual” sexual orientation / to hide the “fact that I'm actually lesbian / bisexual”. I have been practicing ERP whenever my schedule allows but it's tough... ERP typically works for me but on days like today, it doesn't seem to be working and that makes me doubt if I have OCD or not. At the same time, I am also convinced that ERP isn't working and I am secretly in denial / struggle with comphet / have internalised homophobia (which makes it worse because my family is homophobic and most of my intrusive thoughts have been targeting that / using that as evidence). Feeling really scared and hopeless... 😞
