Relate!!! My initial bout was in middle school when a gay girl had a crush on me, I dealt with it and actually became very comfy in my sexuality. Found women beautiful, enjoy lesbian porn on occasion, no desire for romance with women or actual sex. Then I was in yoga and saw a pretty girl and wabam the thoughts are back. I know it’ll pass though. This is just one of the many themes in my grab bag :) hurrah

Relatable! Typically I joke around with my bf - saying “she’s pretty” or “did her saw her butt” (sorry if this offended anyone). However one day while watching a movie where a lesbian scene came up, I caught myself.. gasp! Maybe you’re a lesbian too. When triggered, I can’t even say such things, in a matter of fact I would feel sick to my stomach. This happened a year ago with two triggers and once this year. Just learned about this type of OCD last night & decided to seek help. It has been a living hell these past 3-4 weeks. I also just want to go back to before watching that movie and stop these intrusive thoughts.. I’m so tired 😮💨😮💨😔

It’s nonstop and exhausting. I think the deep fear is becoming someone I’m not right now and it being terrible and changing my whole life. Are you mapping out a treatment plan or just becoming familiar?

@BingBong1! I am currently seeing a NOCD Therapist and practicing ERP, resisting compulsions/rituals and saying “maybe, maybe not.” I just struggle sometimes to say “maybe, maybe not” cause I know how I identify but my brain taunts me about being someone I am not. 😐

@BingBong1! I will be seeing / working with a therapist starting today. Hoping it’ll be effective and this nightmare can end!

Mood but it happened to me at 14 ): I'm 21 now and while it's never been as bad as I've seen on this app, I barely remember what it's like not to have these thoughts so that's fun lmao

@OCD_1day@aTime ✨ What’s helped me through the years is breathe through the triggers. I didn't find out this might be ocd until last year, but before that if a woman triggered me I would stare at the picture and remind myself to breathe deeply until I felt better. Also try to identify your compulsions and to reduce them little by little. I'm not an expert and this should be done carefully but stopping compulsions does help a bit
