For me, it was the day I gave in to my thoughts and literally said, oh well if this thing is then it is or if I’m that then so be it...that set me free! I’m telling you I’m a huge believer that this is the key to healing the everyone with OCD! It does work! When OCD creeps up now I simply just say this to myself and it almost instantly goes away. There are times the OCD bully keeps trying to come on stronger but by the time I know it I’m on with my day I’m not ruminating and it didn’t control my day, days or week.... I am in full control now. Like the anxiety and thoughts are way more controlled.

@loonatic well I know I’m straight now and I used common logic that I can now use finally but basically I’ve only ever loved men, fallen in love with them, enjoyed intimacy with them, before ocd would have said “what if you enjoy intimacy with them but what if you’re still gay?” Which is kinda irrational. So I started to realize my thoughts aren’t really right in nature and this is what an HOCD sufferer goes through and in the end I know I love men and my heart is with them in romantic and sexual chemistry

i actually feel like i’m getting better. i don’t get the thoughts as much anymore because i realized that i know who i really am and these are just the thoughts that come with ocd. i feel like everything is getting better and i see a big difference

I went to my therapist last monday and... wow I feel so good these last days. The more I talk with her about hocd, the best I feel. And the less Im thinking about this. I mean. Is still there, but it doesn't disturb me like before. I don't need to make a compulsion about it. And sometimes I have relapses and I'm going to have them in the future too because Im not perfect, but I really feel less anxiety than before. Im starting to feel like before, like who I am. Like the world is not ending and even if I am angry or frustrated sometimes because I have doubts or I don't know what is going to happen... you know, I'll be okay.

Don’t know if this is a part of ocd recovery or what but my hocd thoughts don’t give me anxiety anymore. Sometimes it feels like this tapped into my feelings. I don’t know how to explain it. Like when I get the thoughts now my mind is like “you’ve always been like that” but I feel no anxiety. I’m also regaining some attraction for the opposite sex and that feels great but at the same time my mind says I’m lying to myself and I get this weird feeling in my chest. Idk what this is.
