I think my problem with hocd is the fact I havent fully accepted nor believe that I am suffering from ocd

Yes, accepting that it’s there will help you. Once I truly acknowledged and accepted it, I was able to manage my thoughts and feelings better.
It's really hard, I don't really try anymore
@Sp1999 Don’t give up bro you won’t get better just accept the thoughts , I learned a lot the reason you can’t shut off the thoughts that you don’t like is because our mind is a OCD glitch not because we actually like it . The way out of the glitch is to face your fears and accept the thoughts . Only way
@jzepedaa7 I cant do it bro..
@Sp1999 Yea you can sack up this fight is for the brave not for the weak face your fears for a day at least
@jzepedaa7 I get it
@Sp1999 Yes you can! My SO-OCD was horrible and it took me months and months to accept it. It’s not easy at first but it gets less challenging the more you do it
@blazed Its been a little over a year now man
@Sp1999 I’ve been dealing with it for 10 years and I’m here fighting still . Never did erp or therapy just kept questioning what’s going on and that didn’t make it any better . I started accepting the thoughts and they are becoming laughable almost
@jzepedaa7 Oh shit man thats impressive that you kept on for so long
@Sp1999 Tell me about it bro imagine how hard it’s been . I’ve even thought about “coming out “ but that didn’t feel right with me either . Ive gotten to the point where I didn’t even care if I was gay I just wanted the images / thoughts to stop and still notning . It’s not about sexuality is what I’m trying to tell you .
@jzepedaa7 Dude ive came out 5 times man and nothings changed. But I tend to focus on the negative so much bro, comparing myself to others and automatically assuming others experiences will be my experience such as sexuality changing , its just alot man
@jzepedaa7 One positive out of this is that I am understanding me a bit more and getting stronger
@Sp1999 That’s okay if it’s been however long. What helped me was realizing there are two choices; 1) feel short-term distress to recover, or 2) live this way for the of my life. We both know what you want, and that’s to live a fulfilling life. Acceptance is so important and will help you here. You need to take the first step by making it through the bumps and barriers that stand in your way.
@Sp1999 That’s what I’m saying bro I do the same I compare myself to other men and think they don’t struggle with there sexuality but the thing is they don’t have OCD , we do which sucks but we were born different what can we do
@Sp1999 We got this bro if you wanted to be with a guy you probably would’ve gotten with one already that’s how I feel . And I still feel like regardless I would never want to get with a guy it doesn’t interest me at all😂
@jzepedaa7 Had experiences like that before also
I’ve made the decision ima stay with my girl no matter what / cause the thoughts don’t define you at all and one day we could all tell a success story on how we beat a messed up mental illness
We are going out to a bar which gives me hella anxiety but fuck it
