yes! the discourse about nate’s sexuality can be soo triggering for me bc the idea of people speculating about my sexuality is terrifying. it’s a good exposure tho!

and ofc the plot line of jules and rue going from friends to lovers is triggering cause i always worry if my platonic love for friends is really just romantic/sexual and i don’t know it/am suppressing it. but i still use it as exposure and try to resist the need to know. you got this!

@Anonymous What did u do when you were triggered from it?

@cc97 it was hard, but i’d get thoughts and i will sometimes engage in reassurance-seeking out of fear/discomfort. but i’ve really been trying to just see the thoughts as is, and maybe take a break from watching. or sometimes i’ll say to myself “it doesn’t matter. i only care about the plot line”

@Anonymous after all, they are just characters in a show. i feel like i’m making it sound so simple, but it is truly so hard for me to do. i understand! but it’s the effort that counts.

@Anonymous Yes I noticed I googled, posted on here and Reddit . So just need to get better at not doing that when triggered by the show! That’s good advice thank u

Anyone else with HOCD get thoughts of like "people in denial try to distract themselves" or anything along those lines when just trying to move on from the thoughts. Having a pretty bad episode this morning at least anxiety wise.

Hi all, I deal with HOCD and been seeing a therapist for about 3.5 months. It has definitely got better but still affects me very much. Was wondering there is anyone out there who has dealt with HOCD as well and has recovered. I would love to message or even chat just see how your experience was and hear what was beneficial to you.
