Did you get more anxious after learning about ocd?
Before I learned about hocd I got nervous a lot, but it was 'over' after reassurement (at least for a little bit). I think I read an article about porn addition and it made me realise that I watch way too much and it made me anxious. Then because of that I started reading about HOCD and realised almost everything checks out. Now, even tough I mentally I'm better since I recognise when I shouldn't reassure myself, I feel somewhat anxious all the time. I cannot yawn but I want to all the time , breaths never seem to be deep enough and sometimes there's a lump in my throath. Did anyone else go though this and what did you do? (I'm 17 and don't feel ready to talk about gay-ocd to my parents to get therapy at all.)
