You know the ick feeling could be because you don’t like yourself and that you actually get the ick about yourself in a relationship. Or it could be other things but imagine, would you want someone to be in your life right now? I am depressed as hell too, and I don’t think I could manage to care about anyone else than myself right now. And I also get icks when I see myself with a boy, which I think and believe is because I don’t like myself and get the ick about thinking about me being with someone.

I can relate to everything you wrote (except I am a girl). I also isolated myself for a long time and when I went out in the world again I felt 100 times worse! Because then I could actually experience all my fears coming true and that is terrifying. Every boy I interact with or maybe want to date gives me the ick-feeling, which is the worse feeling ever with HOCD. I actually do believe I get it because I really don’t like thinking about myself in a relationship with someone. I don’t like myself and would feel sorry for the guy who had to tolerate me and my mess.

@🥰 I do suffer with a low self esteem and confidence maybe its bc of that, I had this ick feeling before ocd too but It was very mild and I barely noticed it but after hocd It feels like Im having it bc Im gay. Being In a relationship with a girl also seems very boring and uniteresting now Idk why when before that is all that I ever wanted. My libido is scarily low. Thank you though, you may actually be right

@Imaan7 So good to hear. I relate a lot to what you are saying. I have no interest in making friends or having a boyfriend even tho that’s the only thing I want deep down. I don’t think we are (or I) am capable of loving someone else when I don’t love myself. Why would I want someone to spend the days with me when I don’t even want to be with myself? I have a lot of work to do to be more kind to myself, and you should also try saying affirmations everyday, for example that you have trust in that you are good enough just the way you are❤️

Im a 21 year old female in a straight relationship with the best guy a girl could ever ask for. About 2 months ago, I went to get coffee with a friend and as I dropped her off, I got a “weird” vibe from her and the look she gave me which lead to the thought of “should I kiss her”….Ive never had a thought like that before and I never have ever wanted to kiss another girl. I have also never had a desire to be with another girl (sexually or romantically). Now though, I have had one other experience of being with a different friend going to get lunch and it felt weird. Ever since then I have been on google non stop with hundreds of different searches, questioning if im lying to myself of my boyfriend, wondering about my past relationships even though Ive only dated boys, been attracted to boys, crushed on boys, etc… boy crazy! Reading on other forums has been a big thing too or doing quizzes. I believe its SO-OCD but im so scared that what if its not. I am in therapy and actually had two weeks of not even thinking about it or googling it until yesterday. I dont know what to do.

As a lesbian with SO-OCD, I feel so helpless. It's truly exhausting because no one I know understands what I'm going through. The first response is always, "You're just confused" or "You don't have to know yet." But that's not the issue, I do know. I just never see any lesbians with SO-OCD so I feel so invalidated. These thoughts flood my brain constantly, forcing me to analyze my reactions to every man I see. I feel trapped in an endless cycle of "testing" myself, trying to prove that I don't like them. But my brain fights back, telling me I do want to love a man, making it feel real even though don't want it. It's terrifying. At this point, it's hard to even hold onto my identity as a lesbian because I'm so overwhelmed. I don't know if this is what real attraction is supposed to feel like, and that fear eats away at me. The truth is, when I think about being with a man, all I feel is disgust and fear-but my brain twists that into doubt. I hate it. I'm at the point where I'm scared I'm going to have to accept something I don't want because I don't know if this will ever go away. I miss who I was before all this.

Hey guys so I have been suffering with sexual ocd due to the fact that I don’t feel that romantic spark with him anymore, I love him and I know I do but I get to much in my thoughts thinking about why can’t I feel that anymore what has changed what if I don’t wanna be with anymore I’ve been with him for 4 years and at first I think it was ROCD but now I started thinking what if I’m into girls now I’ve always been the type to say oh a girl is so pretty or I like this about her but now I feel like every time I see a girl I’m like do I see myself in a relationship with her oh she’s pretty oh I like her voice do I find it attractive and sometimes I do !!! Which is killing me I feel disgust thinking about because what if I secretly am no shame to people who are my sister herself is but I just feel wierd because I wanna be with my husband and feel happy there not with a girl and feel like a man because I see myself in the mirrior and I’m like do I myself being a man do I look lesbian? Do I act lesbian or bi? What if secretly I wanna be a man or I imagine myself being a man in a relationship with a pretty girl and idk what to think
