?
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.

@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

@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

@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

@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

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

Hocd
I haven’t been diagnosed with it, but I feel like nothing else describes me better. If you do have this feeling and thoughts, what are some ways to lower your anxiety ?

acceptance
it feels like i accepted being gay and thats part of who i am but i still feel that tension and fake attraction whenever i see a man and i feel like i could be able to have a sexual intercourse with a man even though i dont want it is it still hocd or just denial? like i am feeling okey but there is still that doubt that how can i know that im not gay if i dont get disgusted by gay things or gay personality traits and at the same time i want to feel normal again like before

Working on issues besides ocd, but its in the way
Need some advice please. I'm trying to fix my social anxiety, self esteem and confidence but ocd infests itself and makes me I had all these issues because I my ocd was true all along. For example, Im extremely uptight/awkward around people and have a fear of being judged, laughed at or seen through, fear of not being liked etc. One cause of this I read is it's because i suppressed my real self/feelings and pretended to put on a fake mask to be liked by others/fit in and now that im older that mask is breaking and causing me disconnect from my real self. My hocd inserts itself and makes me feel because I was gay all along without knowing it is why it happened. It genuinely feels like that's the case but then I feel dreaded and depressed because it feels so real I'm ready to accept that scenario. But back then I didnt think I could have been gay or anything. Im not sure how to handle this difficulty. Please any advice?
