i haven’t taken the course but i’ve read practically every one of her articles!! i found one of her articles on HOCD which is when i first connected the dots and realized that i wasn’t actually going through a sexuality crisis and that what i was/am going through is HOCD

Yes cookiemonster is right...do not tell your mother or anyone else except the therapist, as she may take it otherwise...HOCD is really different and u can get it through without the help of ur family .

i really want to take the course but it isn’t free and i haven’t told my parents about my HOCD so i can’t really pay for it without them finding out. i know i should tell them and i know they’d wanna know that i’m going through this but i’m just really scared that they won’t understand

I’ve read pretty much the whole site 5 times for the sake of reassurance, but yes, it’s very good!

it’s difficult to hide it from everyone, especially my parents, since i know that they’d want to know i’m going through something kinda serious. but again, it’s tough because i feel like they wouldn’t understand. i’m afraid that they’ll assume that this is some sort of sexuality crisis and i’m actually lesbian. which is not the case (despite my brain trying it’s best to trick me into thinking i am haha). it’s just hard. plus, even if i did tell them i feel like things wouldn’t be the same. even if they understand the situation. i don’t want their view on me to change.

@sophiaa I totally understand what you’re going through. I actually told my parents after they got me into a therapist for my anxiety. I didn’t tell them about the type of anxiety, but just for anxiety. After my therapist understood clearly what I was going through, I asked her to tell my parents, so it could come from a professional stand point. Then, my parents understood and I talked to my mom about it. They were confused at first because it’s a very weird topic to explain especially because it’s sexual, but now my mom knows it’s clearly just the thought. Maybe try and telling your parents about the anxiety and slowly transition to the thoughts.

I tried contacting NOCD, but they said that they didn't accept my insurance, and even if they did, I'd have to provide co-payment. I felt devastated because I'm afraid of going to a therapist who will misunderstand me. I can't afford therapy at the moment but I might be able to in a few months. Are there any alternatives for self therapy?

Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please

I’m starting NOCD. I had several years of cbt as a child (well over 20 years ago) and I see a trauma therapist. But now I’ll be seeking further help for OCD and just really scared. CBT wasn’t helpful for me. How has ERP been helpful for you? Do you feel like you’ll finally get your life back? I’m consumed by my obsessions 😢 Would love others feedback if ERP helped you ❤️
