I’ve become afraid of being intimate with my gf due to HOCD, or any obsession. I feel like she’s no longer important and that hurts me. She’s so beautiful inside and out
I do the same thing my hocd is trying to trick me that I've never really liked vaginas and that I think they're gross meanwhile I've been with around 30 girls .. it's making me very depressed. And it's hard to have sex because I'll get images of men or penises in my head. It's so hard to talk to people about this because they can't possibly understand
Sex with a girl has become so scary now cause That is usually all i can think about. I just want to be able to have normal sex with girls again without the doubt...
Yeah I dated a girl for 3 years had sex every day and it was great now my mind is just saying I was faking it. She was drop dead gorgeous. Does your hocd tell u that you r like afraid of vaginas now because mine does lol .. and how old r u
But ofc everything Hocd tells you feels so real...
Drinking is the only thing that quiets the gay thoughts when I'm drunk I only want to be with girls. I've said the same thing too Id rather just be gay but I know I'm not. It's torture. It really is.
You sound just like me it’s almost creepy. Yes it feels like the ”real” me is nowhere to be found.I feel like an empty shell. And yes i have depression cause of this
I can totally relate. This is what I go through everyday. And sometimes it feels so real. I’ve never actually been with a guy so that makes it 10x worse. I always compare them both in my head, and since I’ve never actually been with a guy, it tells me I’ll prefer vaginas. Which is not the case. It’s horrible
Ye i have been there to man, i get anxious before im about to have sex, all i think about is dont lose your boner dont lose your boner
Damn man your story is just like mine. I have been with 5 girls and was in a seriosly relationship for 3 years and we had sex pretty much every day, and I remember i thought she was the most beautiful thing i had ever seen. Now im just fked up and get so anxious to be with girls I rather just be alone.
That's basically how I am now I just got out of a relationship again and my hocd spiked big time and saying the same thing again that I don't like vaginas I was faking.
Yeah you sound just like me. My Hocd tells me I dont like vaginas as yours. And i cant let That thought go. Every girl I see and think is pretty, my mind instantly tells me That, ”You gonna fk it up cause you dont like vaginas and you arent gonna get an erection. I know deep down That this is bullshit and I should just be like, it’s just a thought, and not pay any attention. Im 24
That's crazy I'm 24 too and that's the exact same thing i feel do u struggle with drinking at all because of the thoughts. My hocd tells me that id be happier if i just came out. Do u get groinal responses at all ?
I dont rly struggle with drinking, cause i dont like to go out partying That much. Yes I do have groinal and alot of compulsions I do. Same mine tells me That too, tbf I would rather come out just to stop the fking agony, but I know deep down its not me. I rather be alone for my entire lite...
@sapobil how old were u when the HOCD started
I have had ocd thoughts my entire life pretty much. When I was 4 I broke down because i was afraid of death, this happend many times every day. Then i was afraid of touching things and asked my mother if i would die if i touched that. Then i was afraid of my parterna divorcing and asked my mother every day many times if she was gonna dicorve my dad. Then the worst started Hocd. It started when i found out what a gay person is. I thought it was so strange That a Guy could like a Guy. I didnt think bad about homosexualls, just im glad im not That. Then boom the thought started what if you are? The thought was so strange and scary, and i would use everything in my power to make it stop. I started crying for hours and since then it has been on and off. I was like 12 maybe. Before That i had no doubts and had kissed alot of girls in preschool and stuff you know. The thought of not rly wanting the stuff i took for granted for so long, was so scary, my mind wouldnt stop untill i could prove i was 100 % straight...
The drinking you describe is the same for me
It started for me when I couldn't get an erection in college and the thought what if your gay popped into my head. This was when I was 19.then I felt a loss of attraction to women was constantly checking who I felt aroused for men and women and checking through porn. Then there was the thoughts that men were doing sexual or that I was doing it to them with graphic images I couldn't get out of my head. I basically had every thought imaginable related to this. I've experienced depersonalization too. Do u suffer from depression too ?
It's crazy that we're the same age too.
I relate to you guys very much. I’m in a long term relationship with my beautiful gf, we’ve been together for 3 years, and since January, I’ve had these images and thoughts constantly take me over and it wants me to this an that
The thoughts are oh so bad again. I even can get turned on by the thought of being sexual with a girl but I really don’t want it. ( I’m a girl ). At least I don’t think I do. I looked up questioning sexuality and it said THIS MAY TRIGGER YOU— it said that if you fear it, it may be because you want it because “sexual attraction can be scary”. I don’t want to be with a girl but I feel like lately that’s all I can think about. I can’t even get turned on or get off ( sorry TMI maybe ) to the opposite sex but I can so easily with the same sex even though I don’t really want to. This is so scary I’m not sure what to do.
I can’t anymore. I really can’t. The what if I am attracted to them. The “why does it have to be a man with a woman” (which by the way- I only now get when women are talking in love songs. And whenever I look at any couple). I am just tired. Tired of feelings like crap. I just want to go to what I was before, but was I like this before? Have I always been like this? I am tired. My anxiety levels are ALWAYS the worse at the morning. I am starting to obsess whether I like this friend now! And it doesn’t matter how much I try to accept it, it doesn’t go away. Like there is still something wrong. I hate this. I hate this so fucking much. At this point. How can I still be straight? I literally get triggered by everything. And how can I just not be gay? I have no reason to think that but it feels so real. It’s like I have no sexuality at all. And this is all that I can think about every single hour of my day. I am even thinking about this in dreams! I even wonder that the fact I am so upset right now is because I am scared of telling people and that they won’t accept me. When I don’t even know who I am myself. I am so done. What even is this? Have I always been like this? I am getting flashbacks and it’s telling me I have.
Thinking about relationships makes me feel so bad. At this point both men and women trigger this obsession with trying to figure out what my sexuality is. I don’t really want to date anyone, I’ve been okay with this for over a year, and it’s not like I’ve been completely detached from the lgtbqia community. Like, I know lesbians and other wlw and for a long time I thought I was like bi (I think I’m honestly more aro than I realized), and I haven’t thought much, but ever since I realized I don’t want to share my future with anyone it’s like my brain is screeeeaming that this just means I’m a lesbian, when that’s never been a thought that crossed my mind. It’s definitely been better for me lately when I started cutting out compulsions and all that, but I’m still undiagnosed and I don’t know for sure what exactly is happening to me. If I was a lesbian I’d accept myself, but it’s the fact that it feels SO BAD when I think about it that makes me feel like I need to figure it out even more. Like is it anxiety because I don’t like it or anxiety because it’s like internalized homophobia? And it’s like omg I need to figure it out otherwise I’m just living a lie and I won’t ever be happy. I’ll get flashes of anxiety when I’m just watching a movie or a YouTube video about a boy band I like... and it throws things from the lesbian masterdoc in my face about how I had crushes on fictional characters and celebrities and how that’s something that lesbians do because it’s ‘safer’ to crush on unobtainable men. And it just feels bad bc I know I’ve had crushes on guys that were my friends too but I also have a lot of trauma and I wasn’t allowed to date growing up so that’s what I did to actually explore romance. When the anxiety spikes it makes me feel as if it was all a sign. What’s worse is that I started looking to aromanticism before I read the doc and there’s this bit about how some lesbians think they’re aro bc they don’t like men but never explore their attraction to women either and it’s like ahhhh what’s the truth. I don’t know anymore. Not thinking about it makes me antsy, & the second my anxiety spikes it’s hard to do anything during the rest of the day. I don’t want to think about falling in love and having relationships, I miss when I was just living life in the moment. I miss not thinking twice about when I found a guy attractive, or even a girl. Like it just makes my brain hurt so bad.
