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.

Question about HOCD
Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please

How to counter hocd (in my opinion)
Think logically. Literally. Take me as an example. I have hocd and my obsession is “what if I’m gay”. I’ve liked girls my whole life, I can still get aroused by them and I can’t get the same instinctive reaction from a guy. So I can’t be gay. Sometimes ocd will go to something else once you prove it wrong. Maybe like. “What if I’m bi” again I can only get aroused by girls. Sometimes when I’m not thinking about it I can even get aroused when sitting next to a girl or when I’m sitting next to one or even when I’m touching one in a non sexual way. Something that never happens or has happened with a guy in my life. Don’t start panicking. Just “realise” who you are and who you’ve been.

Those who suffer with SO-OCD and ROCD…
What’s your experience on: Losing opposite gender attraction? And, False attraction to same gender? I have both and I feel like I don’t know who I am. I can’t parent or be a husband due to the mass panic and anxiety. Just wanted to know if anyone has had both and regained theirself?
