How long have you been suffering for?
@Anonymous How old are you?
@Anonymous I’m 27. I never got aroused just looking at a naked man which scares the crap out of me
@Anonymous Do you think it’s more than just arousal though? I haven’t had like fantasies of being with a woman before. It’s not what I want
@Anonymous How do we get past this? It’s exhausting
@Anonymous Are you on medicine or in therapy or both?
@Anonymous How’s therapy going? I do both but my medication isn’t doing much
Same I've been doing great for the past weaks but today im having a full on mental breakdown
I’m sorry :/ ocd is horrible !! And of course today I don’t feel good again
Whenever anyone starts to feel like their thoughts are less triggering or they feel a moment of happiness/ relief OCD tells you that you want the thoughts back or you actually like having the thoughts and maybe thats just the person I really am? I feel like im going insane😢
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.
Does anyone else’s OCD convince them that bad thoughts are not actually that bad…. Like I know they are so why do I feel like they arent😭😭
