Hey 👋🏼 I have gross thoughts about making my pets act on me s*xually 😔 its really degrading , & physically I KNOW I do not want it . But why mentally it doesn’t feel good when I realize this ? Like when I get the “oh great , I’m not gross after all because I don’t want it” I understand thats myself giving myself reassurance & apparently that can worsen OCD symptoms , is that why I don’t feel good mentally ? Like I don’t understand . Or is that OCD messing with my feelings ….. I’m sorry. Can you please help , I’ll stop asking for reassurance . Like for some reason I don’t feel as great as I’d like to for NOT acting on intrusive thoughts

I like to think of it as the OCD getting nervous because you’re doing well, so it lashes out in fear of losing its hold over you. OCD is seriously such a little jerk!

Has it happened to you ? Where you feel like yourself & then it just makes you feel so low again or confused :/

@🐚 . Yes! Many times! It helps sometimes to keep a division between yourself and your OCD. That way you can both fight your OCD tendencies, at least once you recognize them taking hold, and more importantly, you can try to forgive yourself and press reset as many times as you need. It’s not easy to do, but it does help me break free at least sometimes. You are not alone! Strength and comfort your way! 💪🏼💜

@Imaan7 That’s just your ocd lying to you since the thoughts are , I am assuming always on ur mind it seems that way! Just remember you will know what ur heart truly feels in the presence of someone u like don’t worry

Heyyyy!
So my OCD has been bad lately. I’ve been ruminating and obsessing over my sexuality again. And it just keeps getting worse. I hate it so much. I try to sit with the discomfort but then my ocd does the backdoor spike. And the groinal response is what keeps me looped. It SUCKS. I am not attracted to men, but my OCD is trying SO hard to convince me that I am. There have been days where I’m just so mentally exhausted that I “accept” what my ocd tells me and I just walk around a hollow, lethargic shell. But then I rethink it and I feel better. It feels like I can only find my TRUE self when I tire my nervous system out enough that it literally breaks down and has me suicidal and hopeless. And then accepting my OCD’s “truth” (that I’m attracted to men) feels like a burden and a chore. I woke up today from an OCD dream, tried to go back to sleep, and my stomach kept cramping bc I was so anxious and ruminating over my intrusive thoughts. I’m starting to doubt it being OCD anymore. My brain is too tired to fight and cry about it anymore.

Tips for meta-ocd
I am having a real hard time with meta-ocd and thoughts about feeling depressed and be like this forever. Or the thought I never feel normal again or never feel connected to normal life things and normal people. The intrusive thoughts are here like the whole day and they are all about my mental health. And I obsess about how I feel and what I feel with everything I do. It’s so hard to explain. If someone- a therapist or someone who dealt with this has tips or word of encouragement right now, that would me great. I feel like everything I want to learn myself about ocd and coming to this forum also is a bit compulsive. It is so confusing 🫤

Therapy Helps My OCD But I'm Down
I feel like I've been doing good with trying to get better. Sticking to therapy as much as I can (with ups and downs). But I just feel somehow more blue than ever. Anyone else feel like that? My self talk is such a drag. Im trying to shake it.
