It's like when you start to feel better and acknowledge your thoughts as just intrusive and then your ocd comes up with something else to make you obsess

I've there a few times these weeks but like you know you've reached that point when whatever your ocd brings up doesn't really make you overthink anymore and you can still act like yourself

I’m my attraction is definitely back maybe not all the way back but I can look at guys now and get attracted to them. I still get some false attractions, but overall I feel better

That's makes totally sense. I can't wait to reach that point too. Do you find it easier to enjoy the things you did before now?

It’s definitely easier to enjoy things. I play volleyball and when I was at tournaments before I was always so upset, I didn’t want to be there. I stopped enjoying the sport now I feel so much better!

Listen if you felt that way before all this and you were attracted to boys before you are straight. But if you’ve always felt attracted to girls too, then you could be bisexual. You shouldn’t worry about it, it will be alright! You would know if you were that way, I know you are saying you don’t know but deep down you do. Everything will be ALRIGHT!! Trust me❤️

I think I’m actually there, but I still think of the thoughts. I just don’t acknowledge them as much as before

It’s really is, I’m so glad I figured that out because I started to get confused as to why I was feeling better. I used to cry all the time and worry all the time. I’m so happy

Can I ask you something? Do the thoughts still seem real or confuse/get reaction out of you?

It’s kind of depends on the thought, like some thoughts trigger me a little bit. But I don’t worry about them to much. I used to get so upset when they would pop up. Now I just kind of know they aren’t true. Because if they were true I would know. It’s wouldn’t be a question if that makes since

I’m glad!! I really do feel better, it’s obviously not gone all the way but I really feel better. Sometimes I get upset because it’s still in my head, but I know I can make it, I’ve made it this far!!

Well everybody’s different, just remember it’s ok to think girls are pretty or attractive. It’s different if you would want to be in a relationship with them, or you would kiss them. Things like that. I don’t really know much about being a lesbian/gay/bisexual but my brothers that way and he said he felt that way since he was little. HE KNEW what he was. It’s hard to understand I know, but everything will get better!

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

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 ?

Anyone else with HOCD get thoughts of like "people in denial try to distract themselves" or anything along those lines when just trying to move on from the thoughts. Having a pretty bad episode this morning at least anxiety wise.
