What happens when you start to heal from your principal theme, is that your ocd tells you: ☆ well maybe you are lying. You are just faking it. And anything has any meaning at all anymore. And bla bla bla, Im going to make your life miserable because you can't choose anything bla bla bla ☆ And to that, just answer: okay, whatever you say. You are not real. Not me. Just a thought. I can get through this. I can distract myself. This is not important at all. Everything doesn't need a why or an answer. Things just are, I like what I like, I don't need to ask myself all the time, I don't need to know to feel better. I don't need this. And with soooome time it will go away. Is not easy, but you can do it. That is erp. Because that feeling or that thought "Im lying to myself", is your anxiety disorder telling you that you have to start to obsses about this, so you can protect yourself from your fears :)

Anxiety has a lot of forms. You have adequate to a thought that is always in your head. That doesn't mean anything else. Your brain get used to that like every other thought you have everyday. The anxiety dissapearing means you are starting to heal because if you (re)learn to don't panic at your trauma you also don't give meaning to it. No compulsion. No rumination. Break the ocd cycle. And you will not think in your obsession so much, to a point that in a not long future you'll be fine again with it.

Hocd
I’ve had hocd for around 11 months now. It’s gotten to the point where I’m just convinced that I am bi. I still like boys like I always have, but I feel like I like girls too. I have no anxiety either or active thoughts. It’s just kinda there like yep I’m bi and ok with it. Anyone else? Just curious.

Hocd (recovery or ocd in controll?)
I haven't had anxiety for 1 week, I haven't had so many thoughts, but when it comes to sexuality I feel discomfort and I feel like something is pressing on my chest, it's very disturbing, and I still have attraction (false I hope), I wasn't diagnosed with hocd but I had all the symptoms, (now I don't have anxiety anymore, except when a feeling that I'm gay appears), I no longer felt that strong need to watch videos on yt or look for things that would make me feel comfortable, so somehow I managed to keep this under control, but I don't know if it's recovery or if I'm just lying to myself that I'm not gay. If anyone has any ideas, I hope they write something here

Can anyone relate??????
I feel that I’ve come on extremely well. I still can’t accept uncertainty. My attraction to the opposite gender (females) comes back but doesn’t last how it used to too. I feel that excitement, thoughts like “she’s well fit” then a horrible depressed feeling and those voices saying “but you don’t like females anymore…” The false attraction towards same gender (male) isn’t as bad as it was. It used to be every single male, old young, big, small, even voices, cartoons and so on. Now it’s a quick spike when I see a male followed by disgusted, I still pull a horrible face and I shake depending on how bad the thoughts/ feelings. This HOCD/SOOCD happened 14 years ago but not as severe as this time round. Then just went for 14 years. Has anyone been through the same and got through it??
