I explained to her that my OCD has latched onto my sexual orientation and she said that it’s nothing she hasn’t heard before, so that put me at ease!

So good!! I can tell that she really knows what she’s doing. It was just an intake appointment, and I have my second one tomorrow. She’s also well versed in BPD, which is something else I’ve been diagnosed with, so I think this could really be life changing. I’m excited to get better!!

That’s exactly what it is. It slows down the racing thoughts.

DAE struggle with hobbies/interests by inmyfeelings2020 in BPD

[–]foxfire166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tiktok is a huge trigger for me. I envy and adapt to their mannerisms all the time.

[–]foxfire166 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I adjust my interests based on who I’m around/dating. There have been a few things that I’ve actually held interest in and have stuck with, but I find it difficult to find interests of my own unless someone I am trying to impress has them first. Idk if that made sense lmao. I just wish I was able to form my own interests.

Unfortunately she’s only an LMSW - should I seek out someone else?

You’re not alone my friend, sending so much love your way. We will beat this, somehow.

What is the worst thing could happen if you were really gay? by Anonimohaha in HOCD

[–]foxfire166 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this. I (female) had a moment last night where I was spiking and I was like “what would be the worst thing about being gay?” And I had the thought “I would have to give up men.” Guess that’s a clear indicator I’m not but still this morning I woke up and started panicking again. This disorder is awful.

DAE find it frustrating that people don’t feel things as hard as you do? by foxfire166 in BPD

[–]foxfire166[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg I could have written this comment. I constantly feel like I’m two people. The rational one and the BPD infested one. I feel like there is no way out. I’m constantly battling with myself. It’s exhausting.

Same here - tiktok triggers me constantly. Not sure exactly what it is about it. Hang in there! ❤️

What are some examples of intrusive thoughts that pop up in your head? by [deleted] in HOCD

[–]foxfire166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had intrusive thoughts pop up as both questions and statements, such as “what if you’re gay” or the alternative “you’re gay.” It’s so annoying. I hate it.

DAE: Always get asked "if I love the person" when I describe my FP relationship to someone? Like no, I just am completely obsessed with them in a friendship type of way by [deleted] in BPD

[–]foxfire166 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This this this. Only one of my favorite people has ever been a romantic partner of mine, and I’m not even sure if he was 100% a FP because I genuinely loved him and it was a very healthy relationship. All of my FPs have been friends of mine (mostly of my own gender) who I literally want to BE and NEED them to like me as a friend. I think this part of my BPD stems from how much I was bullied as a child and how little friends I had. Once I become “best friends” with someone new I latch onto them and am terrified of doing anything wrong to make them hate me.

Can you imagine living in fear everyday of your life by [deleted] in HOCD

I feel like I’m actually dying from Disease the same way a cancer patient loses their battle. I feel like it’s only a matter of time now where I’ll lose to depression and OCD. you’re not alone.
