My therapist for the last couple of sessions has been constantly telling me “tell yourself you don’t have to answer the question”. I can promise you it has worked wonders for me. Yes, of course, I can tell the feeling of “I have to answer this question” is still there, but I’m able to resist it. I’m so much happier now that I’m able to do this. Your thoughts aren’t facts!

@Ihateocd83 Yes yes yes! I go with a friend but sadly he’s going back to university next week. I get intrusive thoughts about doing stuff with him whilst at the gym and they don’t even bother me anymore

I have thoughts constantly even when I'm not around men ? ...... feels massively like denial. As a kid growing up I had crushes on women but was always very shy. My hocd started when I was 22. I'm 38 now

I don’t want to reassure you as it’ll just make the OCD stronger. I’ve had crushes on women and I’m also very shy. Have you got a therapist?

Yeah, the money situation is tough. Just know that you’re not alone and try not to answer the question :)

@Ihateocd83 Yeah, same. Just gotta acknowledge it’s an intrusive thought, be like “it could be true, it may not be true. I can’t be certain”
