Whenever I try to distract myself my mind says “you’re just denying it that’s why you don’t wanna think about it”

Exaccccctly! it’s like why am I now suddenly questioning so much? What caused this!? I never had to check so much and now that I am I can’t stop but I know that exposing myself and going through the tough parts are what’s gonna get me through this. Even right now just typing makes me feel like I’m denying it and it’s giving me anxiety, I hate it

Same. It’s like before and sometimes even with HOCD whenever I’d go out I was always looking for boys, wanting their attention, wanting them to notice me and fantasizing about them but now with HOCD it’s like I question everything. All the stress lowers my libido so I mostly don’t feel anything anymore which scares me even more.

yes, things are pretty clear right now so I know what I feel isn’t true and what I want but there are still little thoughts and anxiety that linger in the back of my mind but whenever they start to get loud I try to refocus my attention on something that doesn’t involve relationships or sexuality

I also now have a hard time seeing the future. It used to be crystal clear to me what I wanted, now it’s not so much.

YES MAAM! I find it also sticks on people, like I’ll be like omg she’s so pretty and then my mind will think I think she’s attractive! Then the next time I see them I will panic like wtf is this you guys

Same same same but then I remind myself that if it was denial, why would I feel so much and question so much and ruminate and check so much. The denial thoughts are always there but I try to overpower them by thinking about something I know to be true which is my attraction and want towards men

LESBIAN WITH SO-OCD
hi i’m a lesbian! and i have known im a lesbian for a really long time and i have a sweet girlfriend of 1 year. it all started when i saw this masc lesbian come out as straight, after that i had my guy friend over and he’s a sweet guy and he was flirting with me (he didn’t know i was gay) im not sure but i panicked and my brain froze and i was like “do i like him”, ever since my brain has been over worked 24/7 for 2 months now and it’s spiralling constantly. im trying to control it but all these thoughts are so disgusting and my brain tries to put him and i in scenarios that make me uncomfortable and i feel panic and i hate it. i have always been comfortable being a lesbian and i still am comfortable as a lesbian, but i dislike these thoughts i have about him and men and i want it to be over. i do not want to experiment with men even tho my brain is telling me i do, i find it disgusting and i dread it, i have a sweet girlfriend and i want to be with her forever, i do not imagine anything with any men and i hate these thoughts. im scared of becoming bisexual/straight one day and i hate hearing sexuality is fluid. its a whole mix of comphet and so-ocd

I’m so tired. HOCD is the worst.
I don’t know what to do with this bs anymore. I’m crying again and again and again and again. I cannot describe how painful this is. I’ve recovered from every single OCD subtype expect this one. HOCD is so scary and it’s so incredibly scary how it feels so real. The issue with this subtype is how intertwined it is with feelings and sensations. I hate how it keeps latching onto the past and uses the past as proof. I don’t want it to be the truth. I don’t want to accept any possibility.
