HOCD BUT reversed?..

Yeah, could be sexual orientation OCD. I used to have it too, I'm gay and I had groinal responses to girls. Being asexual doesn't mean having no libido though. You can still like sex and be asexual, it doesnt contradict itself.

@M4ks i don't want to have sex😭

@holyshhii No one said you have to, OCD is messing with you probably

that can 100% be an intrusive thought

OCD can be about literally anything :( it sucks

Wow I’m asexual too and I relate so much. SO-OCD isn’t just for straight people!

@Cassie - Advocate oh, im not alone!! what do you do when that thoughts and feelings appears?

@holyshhii I think you can treat it just like any other OCD thought. Practice noticing oh that’s a thought and then rather than ruminating you can say maybe maybe not and mindfully shift your attention to something more meaningful to you

@Cassie - Advocate can i go sarcastically? like "oh OF COURSE how else"

@holyshhii Haha yes humor can be very helpful in distancing ourselves from the thoughts

@Cassie - Advocate its so hard to disregard that, but i hope, we will get better and exactly know who we are

@holyshhii Yes it definitely is. It takes a ton of practice. You got this!

Yeah I’m aroace and I get the same thoughts

@FightingOCD do u have feelings? what do you do with that?

@holyshhii Same! I had the feelings a lot especially before I came out

@Cassie - Advocate feelings like you want this thoughts?

@holyshhii I worry I’m actually just in denial or my being aroace is just my ocd
