First of all LOVE YOUR FUCKING USERNAME! BOOKKKKSSSS Second of all the fact that I never did erp for it is the weirder thing Third of all I started focusing on my other problems like tests and family problems where that needed my attention more A BIG STEP WAS TO BE OPEN AND EVEN JOKE ABOUT IT a lot of me was scared but honestly the fear of judgement was holding me back I told my friend hey don’t judge if you don’t know anything about ocd, I have Hocd and some pocd. Then explain Hocd. And when you think you see someone pretty and think your gay just joke about it “fuck yeah she’s hot lemme bang that chick” then the more you do the opposite of what you fear the more you eliminate the fear that was concousming you. You don’t need to do erp I never did and I beat it for free. Maybe a erp therapist might help for some of you but try the free method first

@Junior96! Well I said that I shifted my attention from ocd stuff to real problems like either tests or friend problems and being OPEN to Hocd eliminates the fear of judgement which can free you instead of trapping you also joking about it helps like “DAMN THATS A HOT GUY I BANG IF I WAS A GIRL ILL GO GAY FOR YOU” shit like that if you consume the fear the fear can’t consume you

Feeling hopeful. Pasta days I’ve felt pretty much myself. My attraction to the opposite gender has come back in stages. False attraction to same gender is there but not as near strong as before. It’s like my brain knows it’s OCD. I have been through hell in the past months, really really severe SOOCD. But I see the that this does not define who I am and my values! Keep strong and fight on.

I’ve recovered from HOCD before and got my attraction and my usual actual identity back. I was recovered from end 2022- start 2025 until I got triggered UGHHH😭 My HOCD is REALLY trying to convince me and it’s SO annoying cause I genuinely don’t want these thoughts. I know I naturally like men and always have done so. I can’t wait for my first therapy session in two days Omg! I need your advice, not necessarily reassurance, but more advice? My HOCD is throwing random “proof” I did/ saw as a child in my face, which back then had no meaning in my life and I continued to live a perfectly heterosexual life. I’ve educated myself about arousal non concordance / child’s play, but it still doesn’t remove the HOCD. I’ve read therapists great explanations on how it’s not a sexuality issue, BUT ITS AN OCD BRAIN ISSUE. So basically I’ve been straight and i will die as straight. But my ocd is still continuing with the intrusive thoughts/flashbacks. I’ve had some moments where I haven’t done as many compulsions and had less anxiety but still had those damn thoughts and I DO NOT want those damn thoughts. I have so much proof and factual/logical explanations but HOCD is still continuing to thrive. I absolutely hate this and I feel so alone. I wish there was a reset button cause I don’t want these thoughts to happen. I want a man and I stand by that. How do y’all deal with these situations? Cause sitting with the thoughts is clearly not helping.

I’ve been struggling with HOCD for years, and it started with an intrusive thought about being gay when I was younger. It came up at age 12 and ever since, I’ve been trapped in a cycle of doubt and anxiety. I obsess over whether or not I’m secretly gay, even though I don’t feel that way at all. What makes it worse is the fear that I might have internalized homophobia, and that’s why I’m having these obsessive thoughts. I worry that my anxiety is a sign that I’m repressing something or rejecting part of myself. It feels like my mind keeps repeating the same question—am I gay?—and no matter how much reassurance I get, the fear doesn’t go away. I used to pray for my family members, fearing that if I didn’t, something bad would happen to them, and now it feels like I have to control these thoughts, or something will go wrong. For a while, it was quieter, but a week ago, the thoughts spiraled up again, and now the anxiety feels overwhelming again. It’s exhausting, and I don’t know how to break free from this constant loop of doubt. Has anyone dealt with the fear of internalized homophobia alongside HOCD? How do you manage the anxiety that comes with it?
