SO-OCD Support Blog!

OCD is very rude.

SO-OCD is a little bitch. So I made a blog to help other people with it.

Hi, I’m Jenny (she/her), and I’ve been experiencing SO-OCD since 2021. I’m technically in recovery, but do have episodes about once a month. I won’t share too much about my experience here, unless you ask, because I want to help YOU.

This blog is for basically everything SO-OCD related. Vent or ask for advice in my asks! I’ll share memes, polls, etc.

Of course, other subtypes are welcome! I just haven’t seen a lot of posts on here regarding SO-OCD, so I figured a support blog for it specifically would be nice.

GROUND RULES:

-DNI if you’re any sort of anti, especially regarding gender and sexuality. Since SO-OCD is sexuality focused, people of all different sexualities will be here. No hate of any sort will be tolerated.

-Please don’t go TOO into detail about NSFW. Obviously, all mature themes and topics can’t be avoided in a sexuality-based obsession, but I’d like everyone to be comfortable here.

-Please don’t make any jokes about anyone’s obsessions/compulsions! OCD is a nonsensical disease, and telling them that will not help. Also, telling someone to give into their intrusive thoughts is a BIG NO-NO.

I hope this is a space for everyone to be able to feel comfortable in all stages of their SO-OCD. You guys got this :D

I'm decently far into recovery, but I still hate the intrusive thoughts, the groinals, the false "attraction". I feel so close to being me again but I just can't seem to fully get there. I still get triggered occasionally and deep down I'm scared that I'm faking my sexuality and forcing myself to be something I'm not by treating my ocd

Hi friend,

I know entirely what you mean. I’ve been in recovery for quite a long time, and I still feel a very similar way— just on a lesser degree. It calms down with some time. I will always recommend continuing ERP and coping skills. I know that’s kind of something you always hear, but it’s for a good reason.

You’re doing great, though. The fact that you’re almost in recovery means you’ve made a lot of progress. Keep going— you’re almost there! ❤️

sorry for taking so much time to send an ask lol so-ocd currently beating my ass

Hi sweetheart,

Jesus, I know exactly how you feel. SO-OCD is actually evil.

Please remember that these thoughts are not a reflection of who you are. You may feel as if they’re real every waking moment, but they’re lying to you. You are not the thing you fear you are.

However, when you think it might be true, try not to resist. “What if I’m-?” So what if you are? You’ll deal with it.

If you need anything at all, don’t hesitate to reach out. SO-OCD is a huge bitch, and I’ve definitely been there before.

Good luck, honey.
