Nah, I just stopped caring tbh. I am engaged and going to marry my fiancée in 4 months, I know deep down who I am attracted to the rest is just noise.
@Anonymous Congrats man on the engagement. Rootin for you man
Yes, I’ve monitored myself though, when I am not anxious or worrying, my mind some how magically doesn’t say these things. It’s funny lol
@Anonymous Wheneve I’m at the gym or anywhere or on social my mind says it then I have anxiety
Don’t worry about it, happened when this all first started to me. I started not caring, slowly dissipated.
@Anonymous I always try but sometimes it seems real because sometimes it does it to like handsome dudes but I’m not sexually attracted to them there just handsome. If my ocd called them handsome instead I wouldn’t care
@Anonymous This is exactly what's happening to me and it's so damn hard
@Lit555 Hey bro. I don’t rlly deal with HoCD THAT MUCH anymore but just trust me it actually does get better. I never believed that shit when people said it but it does. I don’t wanna give u reassurance which technically this is but I needed to hear it from time to time. I’m only 19 so keep going!!
@Anonymous Thank you man, my OCD has gotten so bad that it literally feels like I have a new brain in my head and I've lost the old one. My OCD is really bad.
@Lit555 Just don’t say ur not so so. Just accept that the thoughts are there and don’t pay attention to them. Easier said than done… get a hobby like working out which I do or travel idk hang with friends.
@Anonymous You're right, I'll move out and overcome my OCD and I think that way I'll have a sense of reality, so my brain will reset and I'll come back, I think that's why it affects me so much because there's no reality. I feel like I'm not among people, I simply don't feel the world, the reality, and that's definitely a big reason why it's like this in my head and how it's affecting me.
Felt the same exact way that’s funny lol
@Anonymous U don’t got a problem with it anymore ? I’m doing ERP and I’m trying to solve it before I go to college in 28 days
Appreciate it bro, nothing for nothing, this literally started when I started planning for my wedding etc, in your case going to college.. life changing things create stress
@Anonymous I’m 18 and this started when I was 15.. 3 years of hell. And it makes it worse only going to college but I’ll get thru it
You got it don’t worry too much.. I know easier said than done
It's like you know you've located a trigger and you know you don't want to think something like that, symptomatically the mind says “oh, don't you want to think something uncomfortable? We're going to send this to you and see how it goes."
@Carlos A automatically
Yeah it does the same with me
I did an exposure yesterday. I was thinking that my sister-in-law has nice looking lips. And I told her that even though it caused me anxiety. And what happened: nothing bad. She thanked me and next we were thinking how to make them look even better with lipstick. Like girls use to talk abt make-ups and beauty.
Answer to your mind: Oh yes, that is an interesting thought. He is hot. Maybe I like him. Maybe not. It takes the power off of your OCD.
Anyone else with HOCD get thoughts of like "people in denial try to distract themselves" or anything along those lines when just trying to move on from the thoughts. Having a pretty bad episode this morning at least anxiety wise.
straight girl suffering from hocd, okay so when i was younger i looked at like a girl corn star insta for like 2 weeks and like did get aroused by it, didn’t think much of it still fancied boys, girls were like ew no to me, but its triggering my hocd so badly, like is it normal that i could look at a sexy pic of a girl n get aroused by it, but like a shirtless pic of a boy i wouldn’t, however i have insane attraction to men irl, i love my boyfriend, i love the idea of being with a man and hate the idea of being with a woman, this really freaking me out!
Like I can’t think straight. This is making me doubt everything I’ve thought about myself and even makes me feel like I like the thoughts when I know I don’t. Like I would be less anxious at a time while I still have the thoughts and my mind would go “oh so you like it you must be gay” or the other one where I’m not anxious and I think of my attraction for girls that I’ve had my whole life and my mind goes “see now you’re not into them you’re gay” like it’s so stupid but so effective. I clearly remember being into girls my whole life but my mind is making me believe that all these attractions and feelings for women were all fake or “a thing of the past”. But I can still get aroused by women but I have this weird anxiety going on which brings these sensations/feelings and it’s so weird. Today I’ve spent my whole day thinking about it like I’ve been doing for 5 months now. I know that this aint normal but my mind just won’t let me live in peace. I never cared about my sexuality cuz I simply liked women my whole life but now my sexuality is a fundamental philosophy. I hate this.
