Hocd
My brain makes me feel happy with liking girls it no longer is anxiety it feels like my brain is forcing me into it. I don’t know how to explain it. I’m so tired of this. I just want to like guys & be happy.

I know how you feel it's just because you're brain has become accustomed to it. It's actually a sign you're getting better. It was really strange going through this. I'm a male. when it first started it was like I couldn't look another male , then forced myself to do erp then the anxiety left, then felt like I became my fear , then felt bi then felt asexual then went back to feeling how I use to before the intrusive thoughts kicked in
Have you managed to overcome HOCD ? X
Me too 😔😔 I feel like i enjoy "liking" women and that I'm destined to be in a lesbian relationship
Yeah. You have to probably take SSRI S , I'm on Sertraline 200 mg, was originally on 100 mg and didn't do anything and then it allowed me to do erp and it just fades away.
I’ve had hocd for around 11 months now. It’s gotten to the point where I’m just convinced that I am bi. I still like boys like I always have, but I feel like I like girls too. I have no anxiety either or active thoughts. It’s just kinda there like yep I’m bi and ok with it. Anyone else? Just curious.
I don't know for sure if I have HOCD, but it seems like I do, I tried to accept the idea that I'm gay, I felt calm, and then I started to get scared because I didn't feel anxiety anymore, I still feel attracted to my girlfriend, both physically and emotionally, but I feel an attraction to boys, sometimes I panic when I feel attracted and sometimes I don't (but most of the time I do) and I don't want to break up with my girlfriend I want to get back to normal
I feel like I'm lying to myself, like I just don't accept that I'm gay, I don't want to be gay, I don't want to feel any kind of attraction anymore, I want to go to a psychologist to find out if I really have hocd or if it's just an excuse, because it feels like I really am gay, but nothing was authentic, it all started with thoughts that made me panic extremely hard and I felt like crying and I had delusions, I don't understand why this is happening to me, I didn't like any boys before the thoughts appeared, but exactly one day after they appeared, all the boys were attractive, of all ages, I want to recover :( I'm only 17 years old, for about 2 months I've been having thoughts, I don't know what to do, I can't go to a psychologist, I need help :(
