Can someone who’s dealt with HOCD please respond?!
I need some advice from someone suffering going through the same thing. Please someone message me.

I can talk you thru this. Can you PM on this app?
@Brooklyn_99 I don’t think I can, we can talk on here though if you’re fine with that!
@OCDSucks7678 Yeah.
@OCDSucks7678 What’s going on
@Brooklyn_99 How do I know? Like how can I tell if I’m straight like I’ve been for 20 years before this started or that I’m bisexual now that I’ve been suffering from this theme for 3 years!
@OCDSucks7678 OCD cannot change who you are as a person. It does not change your preferences, likes or dislikes. I’m guessing you don’t want to be bisexual or gay? If your very firm in your sexual preferences. It will attack that. It will try to scare you anyway it can.
I don’t wanna be bisexual or gay, but I’m scared what if I’m denial, or what if I somehow like doing gay sexual stuff, it’s like I don’t know. I’m confused and sick of it. I never had these thoughts before it started!
@OCDSucks7678 Then it’s definitely OCD Thoughts for sure. When those thoughts pop up just say “ so what”. And ignore them.
@Brooklyn_99 Even if the thoughts are like scenarios of me enjoying doing the stuff in my head. It’s literally like I can’t tell if this is me or ocd. Basically it’s like I’m constantly stuck trying to figure out if I like the thoughts!!!! I feel like the only way to know is by testing!
@OCDSucks7678 No. Just trust in yourself. Try to observe those thoughts without wearing them. Observe them from a non judgemental point of view.
