I’m tired

You need to distinguish thoughts verses thinking. Your thoughts are not you they’re not yours. Don’t give them the power of thinking and trying to find a deeper meaning of them. Picture them like a movie you are the observer not the observed. You’re still you I promise you. Once you gain control of your thoughts and let the bad ones pass like clouds you won’t feel cracked anymore. The secret to dealing with OCD is saying I don’t care what you have to say OCD! Basically say maybe I am this or maybe I’m not. Trust in your heart and your soul and move on about your day with the thoughts still there but they can’t take over you because you’re not giving them the energy too.

Word! + real soocd NEVER leads to any discovery because it’s not about actual attraction but fear that sexuality has changed. Soocd grips people who value their sexuality and dream about having a partner a enjoying life. That’s it usual victim because it’s knows it can make your life seem a wreck by shaking it! + anyone who realized sumn more with ocd wasn’t only struggling with ocd! + they never tell us the actual contents of their thoughts because true soocd contents depend on your orientation, then it opposes it. Exactly people are attempting because of it. 99.5% of people never find out any, once ocd stops bothering them they move on with life and don’t even share about it because they’re caught up in school work, work, etc.. the 0.5% be those who are in denial and happen to have ocd

EVERYTHING 👏🏽 YOU 👏🏽 SAID 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 oh my gosh girl i have literally been saying the exact same thing, it has been so incredibly frustrating! one thing i realized is that 1. most people who “realized” they were what they feared, probably didn’t have ocd. 2. they might’ve been dealing with reverse hocd and they were having intrusive thoughts about being straight and were convinced. 3. everyone has their own story, just because something happened to them, does not mean that it will happen to you. but girl i literally feel the exact same way, i wondered why there’s so much normalization of SO-OCD fears. of course, you are not a bad person if you are gay, but people tend to think of it as more of self discovery (even though it’s the opposite) because one thing that OCD can’t do, is change who or what your are attracted to. emphasis on CHANGE. i’m so sorry that you’re going through this, but just know you are literally not alone at all. i’m going through the exact same thing, and we will get through this queen 👏🏽🫶🏽 stay strong!!

Just keep going, I know it’s great getting reassurance for that moment And the people commenting on here told me just the same. These people are amazing people too. I’ve been where you are 14 years ago and managed to get through it without any medication or therapy. This time it’s come again 4 months ago, I lost my attraction to opposite gender and had severe ‘false’ attraction to same gender (I’m married man to a woman and we have two children). This it me so so hard, I never ate for weeks, I couldn’t even sleep, every second was hell. Here I am four months later, no therapy but I am on medication. My attraction to opposite gender is coming back slowly, not where it was but il keep going trying not to push it. The ‘false’ attraction has lowered, Its laughable at this stage. But I had to work at this. I had to kind of agree to disagree with the thoughts/feelings. But I feel like my life is coming back! Keep strong, it’s harder done than do said but just sit with the uncomfortable feelings and thoughts and accept the uncertainty. Your old self will come back in time. I wish you all the best!
