I know this feeling but if there is anything I can impart from what I've learned...posts like this perpetuate the cycle as these are reassurance seeking and also treating these thoughts as just thoughts and being indifferent to them and ever allowing them to stay awhile (I personally like saying "pull up a chair and hang out a while") robs them of their power.

I have a bf in the air force and I see him in October. I get worried that Iām not going to feel anything when I see him or not be attracted to him. And I worry that itās not even because im not but because of my anxiety. So then I could lose someone I actually love

@Whyyocd Oh gosh that sounds so hard but i can relate to that feeling, its horrible.. i hope your ocd doesnt get in the way of you spending time with your bf in october. remember that ocd latches onto what we value most so he clearly means a lot to you, try and ignore ocd telling you otherwise (easier said than done haha). I dont have a bf but i thought i liked this guy but now im terrified im faking it. and i cant even think of actually pursuing it because if I wasnāt immediately attracted to him then i would take that as proof and I honestly dont know what id do

@Winter Thank you sm š„ŗš something I worried about was being intimate with him and then having an intrusive thought. I asked my therapist about it and she said that if youāre only not doing something because of an intrusive thought or something like that then still do it. Because then itās sort of like a compulsion. Like weāre are avoiding. Itās definitely a lot easier said than done too!!! If you have a therapist then I would definitely talk to them about it and see what they say and if they can explain it better than I can rn!!! :)

@Whyyocd Yeah thats true, i guess its an avoidance compulsion really. Its just that the uncertainty is so scary! Hope everything goes okay for you in october (im sure it will, dont let ocd win š)

@PinkLotus OMGGG ILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU!!! Feel free to talk to me about it if you want!!! Something that has kind of helped me is realizing that whatever is going to happen will happen so there is āno reasonā to worry about it. Obviously way easier said then done. YOU GOT THIS āŗļøāØ

So Iām 22 and have no experience like at all not even a little bit. I donāt see myself ever getting into anything with anyone either and sometimes I get sad but other times I think I wouldnāt mind because itās like my āsafe spaceā if that makes sense

Just tired af... Anyone else feels like everything is a lie all the time and there is no "before the OCD I was boy crazy" just the OCD since forever... or denial because of that aspect? Really struggeling with the physical aspect of SOOCD : looking at a women's body and really feeling something and getting turned on and looking at a man's and not feeling anything... I just dont understand! I asked my friends and many of them said they dont feel anything looking at a man's body as well (they're straight) but also looking at a women's doesnt feel like much. I just dont understand ughhhh

hey guys, iām almost fully healed in my socd journey but whatās stopping me is the false atractions. i get them almost 24/7 at this point and to every thing. they feel real and i hate them they make me feel disgusted. they also make me feel like hot and gross but then i see people saying thats what attractions feel like, but i have felt so much attraction to the opposite gender pre all of this and it felt nice and enjoyable not digustinf. iām also getting false memory trying to show me āsignalā from my childhood to prove iām gay amd i truly donāt know if theyāre real. itās so degrading and at this point i feel like govining up. pelesse if you have any advice or even if your going through the same thing just let me know. ocd is so terrible

Is anyone here going throughbSOOCD while being in a relationship? If yes, do you feel like āsomething is missingā even tho everything is great? My OCD keeps on telling me āyouāre settlingā or āyeah youāre happy with what you have but its nothing compared to what you would be feeling if you were with a girl, but youāre with your bf for society!ā Im soo tired!! When I look at him I find him so attractive and handsome but i dont know if im attracted to him or if heās just attractive!! And while growing up I was never āpulled by guysā but I thought that everyone was this way! I also used to look at girls because I found them Beautiful but I thought that everyone used to look at them this way! I think what truly bothering me is ācomphetā and the ālesbian masterdocā. Like I feel like I can relate to some points! Yes I used to choosw my crushes growing up but it felt like everyone used to do the same thing! As for my current bf, we started out as friend and then it turned into something else but now im scared I just agreed to being his gf because āthatās what I had to doā and im scared that heās my ābeardā. I particularly got triggered yesterday because my friends were talking about their celebrities crush and I couldnt think about anyone without forcing it! Instead I could easily think about kristen stewart or someone with the same vibe. All of this + my feelings must mean something no??? I just want to feel āin loveā my bf is perfect!
