So ocd/ hocd
Does anyone genuinely not get anxious from the thoughts and feel like they are in full denial & that they would be happy with the same sex? This feels too real for my liking.

Sometimes i think that i am in denial and i should accept that im gay so i can live happy. There was a period of time that i had intrusive thoughts but not anxiety, it was weird but I know that when you get intrusive thoughts and you don't feel anxious its a good thing.
@Anonymous 🌻 i m@stur… and i thought on my friend and like ejaculation comed faster is that hocd or im in denial it looked so real
@mrgg11 If you were about to finish and the image pop up in your brain i think it's the ocd.
Yup
Going through that right now. And its strange, because I can get an erection fantasizing about women all while my mind is telling me something else. Im not totally sure how to handle it but am hoping that keeping doing nothing and hoping the thoughts continue to lose power is a good thing.
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.
I need too know that I'm not insane, really. I am 16 and for the past two weeks, this has been completely ruining my health and happiness. I only recently came out as a lesbian like 3 months ago after a lot of confusion about my attraction since I used to think I liked men. At first, I felt so sure that I liked women, but lately, I've been having these unwanted thoughts about the possibility of liking men. I never used to feel this way, but now, every time I look at a man, my brain obsessively fixates on it. It forces me to imagine kissing him, loving him, things I don’t want, and then tries to convince me that I do. It’s painful. The thought of this fills me with fear and anxiety, leading to panic attacks and breakdowns. I don’t want these thoughts. I hate them with every fiber of my being, but I’m terrified that one day I’ll act on them and somehow like it. I used to think I liked men, but back then, I was in a very unhealthy space in a time of escapism and something deeply parasocial. I’ve only ever liked the attention and validation a man could give me, but these experiences are somehow treated as further proof that I’m "bisexual." I’ve never been in a real relationship with anyone, which makes my brain constantly challenge me—telling me, “You don’t even know what love feels like.” It won’t shut up. It keeps obsessively trying to make me prove that I’m a lesbian, testing my reactions and questioning my certainty. Is this normal?
