Trying not to think about it will make your thoughts worse. Try understanding that those are thoughts that arent you and moving on. Ik its easier said than done but you are not your thoughts! Those are mental compulsions when you try to find a solution. Instead just try to acknowledge those thoughts and ideas and brush it off bc they aren’t really you. Proof that you arent like that is how you get uncomfy when they arise. Good luck!

I agree and believe the reason they come up in the first place is because they are ideas that you are against and don’t want any part of. Thoughts that I would obsess over were ones that were exactly who I wouldn’t want to be or actions I would never want to do but I think that’s the point. You obsess over the worst things you could think of until you feel like you’re gross and crazy for them coming in your head in the first place. Just try to not obsess over it and acknowledge it’s a passing thought and not something you want to do and that it’s ok for the thought to pass by and it has nothing to do with who you are.

The same thing happens to me all the time dude , it’s so irritating . When I was new to this subtype I genuinely told myself “if I’m a pedo i’m going to kill myself” . But I’m too scared to die but i’m also so tired of dealing with this

This started happening to me in 2022 and it's gotten okay but it's still bothering me a lot. I to do erp when I get the thoughts but it really just feels like confirmation. Here's the thing the idea ALONE that I could be anything other than straight even if it is as tiny as .001% makes me feel awful because I know that the idea of being with another woman is just not for me. But the thoughts and goinals keep coming and I'm at a loss. It's just know that being with my man feels right but these thoughts are starting to affect that. I just feel so lost.

Lately, I have been able to manage my OCD thoughts kind of. They’re still there but I kind of push them away? I know that pushing them away doesn’t help but it’s been my only way to survive. I get scared often about things like clothes or my voice or how I present myself. I get scared that I want to dress differently or act differently and it scares me. I know for a fact I don’t want boobs or anything like that, but my mind constantly is like “What if?” and it kills me. It has ruined everything for me. Sometimes I can’t even look in the mirror because I get scared that I won’t like what I see. I’ve also been afraid because I find myself relating to many female characters, or I want to act like them. Like Pearl from Steven Universe. I want to be graceful and elegant like her, but I don’t want to be a girl you know? My mind constantly pushes these thoughts of what if and images. Because I am not like most guys. Which I know is okay. It just freaks me out. It makes me question every aspect of my being. I know who I am, but I know that the only way to move forward is to accept that maybe I don’t.. It’s just a lot.
