Mine I have had my entire life to varying degrees. But this extreme time seems to have been triggered by my current living situation and maybe another life event. So I’m hoping that me moving will help a lot

I had it when I was younger but it wasn’t horrible. Then I was called in for jury duty for 3 days straight at the same court house my abuser was found guilty at, in the same exact city we both lived in when he abused me as a child. AND THEN right after, because I was so stressed, I got on the wrong bus to go to school. It was headed into DC or something crazy like that and that really freaked me out. That’s when my POCD popped up.

With me I was going through a lot, I was alone didn't leave the house away from my mum for 6 months (I was in another country with my dad where his family is from) and whilst we were there my grandmother passed away and I was so close to get so the only reason I left the house was when I visited her in the hospital. It's the first time someone close to me passed away as well. So it was definitely the worst time in my life

I had a dream that I had a girlfriend and that triggered my HOCD even though I had it when I was 11 when somebody told me I’d become a lesbian if I went to a girls’ school. At the time I didn’t know it was OCD and it passed and I got it again after a while

It happened randomly. And it got really hard when I had a gay dream

Sertraline triggered my harm obsessions, but I had always had health anxiety that I just didn’t realize was OCD

for those with sexual orientation ocd.. if you are comfortable sharing (and if you remember), what was the moment/person/place/etc. that first triggered your sexual orientation ocd? i’m just genuinely curious and want to see if there are any patterns. for me it was the summer before my freshman year of high school (i am currently 21). i was going to a pride parade with some family friends and was texting a guy that i ended up dating for a while. to be quite frank, he was a total idiot. he asked what was up and i told him that i was going to a pride parade with some friends. his immediate response was “wait does that mean that you are gay??”. i remember that i got this weird sensation of panic after i read that text. and his question like stayed lingering in my mind for longer than it should have. long story short, my sexual orientation ocd really kicked in halfway through my freshman year of high school..but i didn’t realize that that was what it was until about 2 years ago.

Has anyone had a breakup or a major life change that triggered an OCD episode? How did you cope?

for those with SO-OCD, how did your subtype come about? for me it was just one day lying in bed and irrationally thinking that since I wasn’t interested in hooking up with my male “friend” that I was gay and that I was hiding the fact from myself all these years. Im just not too familiar with how OCD manifests in people. like is it sudden or?
