Yes I am at moment I am still suffering with it to a degree but it isn’t stopping me having a fulfilling loving relationship with my girlfriend. It’s helped me to realise that the content of OCD is crap. Regardless of the specific theme it always has the same pattern of doubt and feeling like I need to be certain about something be that my sexuality or wether or not I have hurt someone. Doing the opposite of what it wants me to do i.e embracing doubt and accepting the uncertainty has helped me a lot. You are not alone and you can overcome this

Ocd makes you feel like that, it's normal. Remember that you and almost every single person thinks they're an exception in ocd. It will try its best to try to get in your mind. It's trying to convince you, so the thoughts are naturally going to be convincing. You can't give them much space, just say whatever, I'll deal with this later.

There's an YouTube called Chrissie Hodges. She dealt with hocd when she was a teen and is dating a guy nowadays!

Oh, and I've read about another woman that also recovered from hocd, and she talked about her sexuality so confidently. She was 100% sure she was straight, and at the same time, was confident enough to say that she found women attractive. But still, she was straight, and sure of it. It was an interview, and she answered many questions readers made. Me being me didn't save the website, And now I can't find it anymore, unfortunately. What matter though, is that she went through the same thing as us, and nowadays is completely over it!

I don’t want to date anyone now. OCD made me not confident enough to love someone while I know I’m not the way ocd compels me to think I’m :(

I currently just got out of a relationship. Whenever a woman is a bitch to me, it makes my ocd worse. "See you don't even like women." She ended up cheating on me and now I feel kind of mentally castrated. There is a wonderful woman at work that seems like the girl of my dreams, but I also feel numb. I am really trying to do erp right now because I don't want to deal with this while pursuing her. I hope 3 months of serious erp will help me enough to try again.

Oh, I saw that! It just feels as if my case is different sometimes. It feels as if mine is real or that I feel different than those who have recovered :(

I'd love to hear other people's issue or experience with HOCD and any successful, healthy relationships? A thing that sometimes gets to me is that I loved men for the longest time and used to have all these crushes. Recently it feels like I don't have any feeling and no excitement. My boyfriend and I just broke up and it was because I was doubting it too much. HOCD never came up until the end.

Is it possible to have a relationship and get your normal attraction back for whoever has hocd? Are these thoughts gonna be always here? I'm so sick I can't even think about what I want without having these images

Seeing so many post on POCD,HOCD,TOCD and others. Makes me feel so bad and realize how sick ocd can make us. It’s so sad honestly, breaks my heart. I just want this stop and we could just all heal. I’m personally afraid that hocd won’t ever stop. I feel like some days it’ll make me ruminate and other I’ll feel calmer but the question is still here. To awareness of it will still be there. I’ve have hocd for 5 months. Sometimes I truly think I’m lesbian. Others I’m just like “but I can’t be, I have feelings for boys and like doing sexual things with them” but I just keep going back and forth. Trying to look Into certain things I do and why I’m doing them. I’ve never developed feelings for a girl. I feel so guilty and bad to be going through this when I have a boyfriend. I feel like I’m doing him wrong. And it sucks so bad. I enjoy being with him I feel myself happy with him. Yet I still worry about this. Also, is there still anyone here with hocd? I haven’t seen many people on here. I’d like to get some advice or not feel alone I guess. Thank you.
