I do feel like that, but lately I’ve been trying to be strong. I’m not as anxious as I used to be about the thoughts. I’m almost not anxious at all only when certain thoughts pop up. I used to cry almost everyday but now I’m actually ok. What I try to do is let the thoughts be there, it’s not going to do anything to you. Yeah it’s scary and weird because you know that’s not what you want to be but if you were that way you would know. That’s what I try to tell myself! I hope everything gets better for you and everyone else on here! It’s confusing going through stuff like this because it’s always doubting everything.

This is so mentally draining, I just tell people I have depression (which is true) but Nobody knows about my ocd and hocd.

that must be really tough i have an aunt who has ocd and she helps me a lot do you have anyone youre close to to tell? because for me its really nice to have a public place for support but to be able to talk to someone close to me and have them understand me like even with the worst fears my aunt always told me just so you know no matter what you say do or think i will always love you and that kind of support was what i needed

I have my brother, I have hocd as well and he’s bisexual. Sometimes I just ask him to help and he helps a lot because he knows that I’m ok. If I was that way he would tell me.

Heyyyy!
So my OCD has been bad lately. I’ve been ruminating and obsessing over my sexuality again. And it just keeps getting worse. I hate it so much. I try to sit with the discomfort but then my ocd does the backdoor spike. And the groinal response is what keeps me looped. It SUCKS. I am not attracted to men, but my OCD is trying SO hard to convince me that I am. There have been days where I’m just so mentally exhausted that I “accept” what my ocd tells me and I just walk around a hollow, lethargic shell. But then I rethink it and I feel better. It feels like I can only find my TRUE self when I tire my nervous system out enough that it literally breaks down and has me suicidal and hopeless. And then accepting my OCD’s “truth” (that I’m attracted to men) feels like a burden and a chore. I woke up today from an OCD dream, tried to go back to sleep, and my stomach kept cramping bc I was so anxious and ruminating over my intrusive thoughts. I’m starting to doubt it being OCD anymore. My brain is too tired to fight and cry about it anymore.

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.

Myself
I feel like I’ve lost who I am , even since my depression and ocd started. I don’t even know what I like anymore:(( I doubt everything I think and it’s so draining because I just want to feel like my old self again😭 I feel like I have no motivation to get better which is bothering me so much because I want too but something is holding me back from doing what I need to do :/ with all my thoughts and doubts , I feel like I can’t trust myself . I don’t know if I’m the only one that feels this much pain
