How are you defining anxiety? Anxiety can be much more than a fast heartbeat or fear. It can manifest in many different ways, and I think the fact that you’re searching for the anxiety is a manifestation of anxiety itself. It’s like your compulsion is to check that you have anxiety because that means that what you’re feeling is just from OCD and it’s not real. But brains are tricky. Perhaps you know that’s what you’re doing, so the OCD part of your brain is sabotaging you and making you believe that you aren’t anxious. I’m not a professional by any means. I just want you to know that you aren’t alone. I think to myself often “if I’m thinking this, then it must be true.” But thoughts are just thoughts. You should really think about talking to a counselor if you haven’t! You don’t have to do this alone.

Also, I’ve had an obsession that there’s a demon or vampire watching me while I sleep, waiting to consume me. I’ve had this obsession since i was a child. Does this mean it’s true? Does having this obsession for so long really mean that it must be true? My brain sometimes thinks it has to be true, but let’s be honest. There’s not a vampire that’s going to eat me (I don’t even fully believe this whole im saying it, but that doesn’t make it any less true). It doesn’t matter how long you feel something. Time doesn’t determine truth.

Worried about not being anxious?
These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.

Feels so real
I don’t know if it’s SOOCD. I no longer feel anxious in the moment when I think about women, and it’s like my imagination wants me to think about it and get aroused. I don’t want to be gay, but maybe I am after all. In my life I haven’t been so sexually driven before (when I was living with a man, or when being single) but now all I can think about is having sex with a woman. I don’t want to, but somehow my body does and it feels like my mind have changed to accept it to.. feel so sad This all started around 4 weeks ago..
