I have struggled with the same thing, it's almost as if the OCd gloms on to someone else and then you feel so guilty and scared that you would even think that..The worst part is the urge feeling, like you have to or want to do something. Thats the worst. But try to breathe through it, let the thought pass, keep yourself busy if you can...Make a favorite recipe, turn on music...say not today OCD, I dont have time for this.

Thank you so much. I just don’t understand how I felt like I liked/wanted it when it was about my niece (who ocd attacks A LOT because I care about her and would do anything to protect her) and then when it was about the girl from church I could feel more clarity and more guilt so I’m scared because what if that means something. Does it mean anything?

What's bothering you right now friend? :( I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner... I wasn't really on the app yesterday, I was spending the day with my wife, and I'm so glad I was able to spend time with my wife yesterday, it brought be such peace.

Man where do I start. Do you remember my posts from before where I was struggling with an intrusive thought about my niece and it just wouldn’t go away and I kept questioning it and worrying about it because it felt so real as if I liked/wanted it. Well it was starting to go away but then I had the same intrusive thought but about someone else (a girl from my church) and I could definitely tell I didn’t like it at all and I could feel guilt when before I couldn’t. Now I’m so worried what if I’m in denial or am attracted when I really don’t want to be. I love my niece so much and would never want that. So now I’m freaking out again

@Just Breathe ❤️ Can ocd do that or is it real?

I’ve tried living in the uncertainty today & kept myself busy but I can’t shake this feeling that I’m about to lose control & act on my thoughts. I keep feeling like I need to check in to see how I feel & keep my self safe & when I’m near my trigger it feels like I’m being pulled into doing it & feels like I want to but I’m not using compulsions. My thoughts feel like my own & feeling like I’ll be like this forever. Can someone relate or give advice 😩

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.
