I'm falling back into the old habits of analyzing the hocd thoughts. The last week i let the thoughts be there, and did not analyse them, but now it's getting so hard. Do you have any tips?

I’m the exact same way! Hopefully someone can give us some tips

10 months, nothing comparing your 5 years. But these 10 months have been the worst of my life. Now Im just grateful that I'm feeling better than I am first, but still, the thoughts sometimes seem very real and disgusting.

Yeah I’ve had mine for about 8 months now and the first couple of months were terrible, but at this point I am feeling better but some days are very confusing. I’m not diagnosed so my ocd likes to latch onto that a lot so that confuses me even more. I don’t want to date girls, and I don’t like girls so I wish it would stop.

It seems really real . Its crippling and drags you down . Talking about it is important. Dont keep it in I talk to my parents and my fiance they all give suport. I would always have great sex with woman and one day out of the blue I hit a brick wall when my best buddy has to use the washroom in the woods . I picture him with his pants to his ankles and I said what the f**k did I think that for . From then on iv been on a roller coaster ride . I hear theres hope and that its fixable

I had a nightmare with a hocd thought. That's the moment where it al atarted. Hope it will get better, for all of us.

If a thought comes up in my head, I take a deep breath and answer 'Okay Whatever', and move one from the thought. I do this all the time but I don't know if this is the right method to do, bc I don't know exactly what to do to get rid of the thoughts. Hope you can help me

That’s perfect! And doubting you’re doing it right is just part of the process. Keep it up!

We are all in here togetter . We have to suport each other. In research I found that 75% of the population at some point have a bi-curious . It's just that for someone who dont have OCD wont fixate on it where we fixate it build more anxiety and the brain is powerful if I sences that somthint cause discomfort it will hit harder . We are all human and we need to accept that it really doesn't matter what "thoughts" are in our heads .

I'm 32 and at age 27 I hit this type of OCD and still to this day struggle . It's never easy to get threw . How long have you been dealing with this ?

Mine started when I was at a volleyball tournament. This girl on my team was bisexual and she was talking about it, I was sitting by her and she just kept talking about it and I guess it made me question myself. So then I was worried why I questioned myself. Then I worried I liked that girl and I wouldn’t talk to her, I thought if I didn’t say anything to her my thoughts would go away, but guess what they didn’t!

I’m sorry you’re all suffering! I had and overcame SOOCD a few years ago. Not analyzing the thoughts is hard. It takes a lot of vigilance and that can feel exhausting. It does get easier the more you do it. I think using mindfulness as a tool for watching the thoughts helps. I also think humor helps (if you can laugh at the thought, it loses all power.) i think it’s also important to write down a reminder of why you’re resisting that you can tell yourself when it’s tough. “Analyzing this thought is tempting, but it won’t give me more certainty, it will only create more doubt. I already know the answer without checking because the answer is always I don’t know.”

Thanks for your response, it helps me so much.. ? God bless you
