Thank you! It’s been a long journey for me too. Everyday when I go on a Snapchat I like taking a picture of how I look like and then putting the hour and my anxiety level. That sometimes helps. At night my anxiety levels are 0/1. And at around this hour there are always at 6/8. Thank you so much for helping! Sometimes you don’t even realize it but you do make a difference in ones day with these supporting responses

Do whatever makes you feel better just make sure that when you have a surge of energy that you are feeling better, NEVER say “I’m glad I got over this” because right there it comes back even worse.

Been there. I can relate to your posts so much because I literally see me. While I am feeling better, I still get groinal responses when I see some guys and then my mind is like “see, you’re gay you are just in denial” I’m learning to just let the thoughts be there and laugh at them. Sometimes I’ll be like “hey who knows maybe I am gay” and while I get anxiety saying that, it slowly goes away. My honest advice is to distract your brain as much as possible. The thoughts will be there but they won’t be as overwhelming like when you’re just sitting in a room without doing anything. It does get better, I have good days and horrible days. It’s all part of your condition. I take pride in having this condition because when I do get it under control, I can help other people going through it and I love helping others. Much love as always, you can do this! Don’t give up!

Does anybody have Sexuality OCD? Because I am pretty sure that I am straight but then suddenly about a week ago I stopped going guys attractive and it really scared me. I was convinced I was gay! I tried to like a girl but my brain was telling me that it was wrong. That was when I thought ‘OMG I DONT HAVE A SEXUALITY’ and I got really scared. Then yesterday I thought a girl was really cute but then saw a guy and thought he was gorgeous! And then I was like no I have to be straight!!!!! What do I do? Does anybody have this problem?

Okay so I have been struggling with HOCD for so fucking long. I never felt like I had crushes on boys growing up but I wasn’t attracted to girls either (this was through 5th grade). Until 6th grade hit. I remember it like it was yesterday. I had the thought walking up the stairs and it was “You’re lesbian.” And ever since that thought was there and I fought it I have been dealing with all types of OCD ever since (been going on for 7 years). And only this year I found it was OCD. But it’s hard because I don’t know if I’m actually gay or I convinced myself I’m gay because I gave up and gave in. Now whenever I see I pretty girl I feel tingling. And I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t a lesbian so I look up pretty pictures of girls with their boobs out and I loved it. And I wanna make out with a girl so intensely. But then at the same I don’t wanna be in a relationship with a girl and I wanna marry a guy and I just desperately wanted to be like by a guy. But I get so horny whenever girls are in bikinis and stuff. But I have OCD and I’m so confused.

I have consumed so much different information on attraction and love and intimacy etc from places I really shouldn’t be looking and I’ve made myself extremely extremely confused to where I feel completely lost. I compulsively compare myself to things I read online to see if I feel the same way and then later I subconsciously compare those things again or get intrusive thoughts about the thing I don’t want. I may have also overly complexed certain emotions or be unintentionally exaggerating on them because I’m so desperate to figure out what they mean. This is the most real/confusing it has ever ever felt and I’m not even sure it’s ocd anymore. Has anyone else ever done this to where they feel genuinely confused and completely unsure of their feelings while also completely numb to anything positive? Almost like I’m living through my fears and seeing/feeling nothing else. I have a headache just typing this
