I don't really know what to tell you except that I have felt this way too. I have gotten a lot better, then regressed, and gone back and forth. I thought I was cured, so I found a girl I fell head over heels in love for and she cheated on me. Then my mind went haywire. Oh she cheated on you cause she knows you're gay. You secretly wanted this to happen, it's so bizarre. I've been doing my own ERP for the past few months and substantially changed my diet. I am feeling a lot better again. Today I felt so attracted to my coworker and I really want to ask her out, but I feel I'm not healed enough yet. I wish we can start a group chat where we can be accountability partners for ERP and share our progress.

I listened to gay podcasts. Where the host is gay and talks about sexuality in society. I try to spend more time around my gay coworkers. I watch movies with actors that I know trigger me. I tell myself. Okay 10 years is enough. It's time to stop. I am now certain this is the OCD and you are just malfunctioning. You can retrain your mind to be how it once was. Sit with this anxiety and it will pass. Don't check, just let them pass. They will eventually stop. I just self talk myself in this way and it seems to be helping. I'll share more if I am able to make more progress

If they don't add a group chat function on this app, I think I might start an online chat for those who are strictly dealing with HOCD so we can keep track of one another. We can still remain anonymous if desired. I'll look into how I can do that

Like I can’t think straight. This is making me doubt everything I’ve thought about myself and even makes me feel like I like the thoughts when I know I don’t. Like I would be less anxious at a time while I still have the thoughts and my mind would go “oh so you like it you must be gay” or the other one where I’m not anxious and I think of my attraction for girls that I’ve had my whole life and my mind goes “see now you’re not into them you’re gay” like it’s so stupid but so effective. I clearly remember being into girls my whole life but my mind is making me believe that all these attractions and feelings for women were all fake or “a thing of the past”. But I can still get aroused by women but I have this weird anxiety going on which brings these sensations/feelings and it’s so weird. Today I’ve spent my whole day thinking about it like I’ve been doing for 5 months now. I know that this aint normal but my mind just won’t let me live in peace. I never cared about my sexuality cuz I simply liked women my whole life but now my sexuality is a fundamental philosophy. I hate this.

I don’t know if it’s SOOCD. I no longer feel anxious in the moment when I think about women, and it’s like my imagination wants me to think about it and get aroused. I don’t want to be gay, but maybe I am after all. In my life I haven’t been so sexually driven before (when I was living with a man, or when being single) but now all I can think about is having sex with a woman. I don’t want to, but somehow my body does and it feels like my mind have changed to accept it to.. feel so sad This all started around 4 weeks ago..

I’ve been dealing with SOOCD for over a year now, and I have been having a very hard day today. I feel like I just need someone to talk too, my whole life I’ve always had girl crushes and always wanted to be romantic with women . Ever since I posted this picture on instagram and one person said I looked “zesty” in it , which is when I started obsessing about being gay . I feel like I put so much meaning to these thoughts where now I’m always checking how I feeling around men. I had a really bad porn addiction for a long time and bad anxiety which fucked up my sex drive. I feel like I doubt if I’m attracted to women when I know I am , but the doubt is so overbearing where I start to believe it . I never was interested in men sexually, and my ocd makes me feel like I like the thoughts even though I feel no pleasure out of it. I feel like I lost who I am as a person . It feels like I don’t even know what my sexuality is and it’s really upsetting to me . I meant this girl the other day and she is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met and I just feel like ocd is getting in the way😭😭😭 please any advice or comments
